I would get in trouble for making up my own words for hymns aswell. I was overly annoyed that the teachers who would punish me weren't even devout Christians, it is just what everyone had to do. Only something like religion has that kind of menacing hold on people.
Yeah I was. Told to sing songs, at the time I didn't see what the deal was to sing songs. It was only till later that I learnt why. Anyway, I didn't and the teachers told me off but I ignored them, much to their frustration.
They couldn't do anything, and we both knew it!

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
