Did you ever go to catlick school? Me, I spent 8 years in primary and then 6 in secondary. When you add up the half hour a day of religious instruction I did plus the months long preparation for both communion and confirmation, 2 of my 8 years in primary were in religious indoctrination. During that time I had not one single lesson in a science or a foreign language, which would have been far far better for my education. Luckily enough, despite going to a CBS, most of the teachers who taught religion classes weren't that interested in indoctrination, but we still had at least five masses a year which were mandatory, and 4 40 minute classes of religion, time which would have been better spent, you know, learning stuff.
I went to a Catholic school from k-8th grade. We had science class in every single grade, including learning about evolution. And yes, in 8th grade we all had lessons in French, German, and Spanish.
As for learning about Catholic stuff, well um... duh. It's a Catholic school. Of course we learned about Catholic stuff. But we learned a lot about other stuff too. Much more than I did at the public high school I went to afterwards.
For being skeptics, some of you sure are quite the conspiracy theorists when Christians are involved.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
