Good. Smart kid you got!
And it's infuriating that an educational institution makes children pray. Ffs, that's what churches are for -_-

Daughter objects to prayers at school
July 10, 2015 at 1:38 pm
So, got to meet the daughters teacher early. Just been down to set up a tent for a school camping night and he made a point of introducing himself.
Said that he had read the email I sent and he thought it was excellent and that he shares the same views as me. Result! I thanked him and said my daughter is in good hands for the camping night. It just gets better and better.

And even if we had to wait, it would be worth it just to see the face of religious apologists listening to someone who actually knows the law saying how secularism in public school is important.
Very well, present a thesis on how they payed a fuckton of money to the pope to come here. In this retched corner of europe? For all I care about in people I interact, religion isn't a problem. Education & economy are.
Well legally the State can pay for any event that is socially important, whether it is a football world cup, the Pope's visit or a sex orgy event - It doesn't matter, the State can subsidize what is important to citizens or at least to the majority of them.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

I think it's very cool that your child felt uncomfortable enough to say something and comfortable enough to come to you. When I went to my parents with "I'm atheist" they we don't understand but fine. Just don't let it get out. We can't be embarrassed in front of the rest of the community.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
