I would say though about Catholics that while you are right that they teach real science, Catholics can often times be very obedience and fear-obsessed, and in that way can create their own, far worse, kind of closed-mindedness.Jeremy Jansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218395232783877050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073940727499322908.post-84903019636205396382010-07-28T11:24:15.440-07:002010-07-28T11:24:15.440-07:00I love this!

A Catholic school education tends to be a little more on the mainstream than the uber-religious, especially ones who use church-based homeschooling programs. At least Catholic (and Anglican - I went to an Anglican school) teaches proper science. In addition, most Catholic schools have students of other faiths.<br /><br />@Jeremy Janson: That's probably because your friend got out. If you don't, then it's a whole other story...<br /><br />@Hels: The post is meant to be more on the sarcastic side than serious... :)TorontoGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803567155575324774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073940727499322908.post-7846986684796389992010-07-25T00:11:08.079-07:002010-07-25T00:11:08.079-07:00"we promote religion through education" ..."we promote religion through education" ? Catholic schools? That line confused me. I have yet to meet a Catholic who attended Catholic school who is any happier or more well-adjusted than "uber-religious" people. <br /><br />I have to admit - I always get a kick out of Christians criticizing other Christians.Christine Vyrnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15125525692093575724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073940727499322908.post-51412378676950782482010-07-24T21:52:55.339-07:002010-07-24T21:52:55.339-07:00OMG, you are such a Canadian stereotype. But back ...OMG, you are such a Canadian stereotype. But back to the post, don't worry, those kids won't stay inside forever! One of my best friends was one of those Evangelical types who went to Atlanta to college from Central Florida, and went CRRAZZ-ZYYY!!!!! And I love him for it, and he loves himself for it too.<br /><br />I don't agree that we all need proper polish et cetera, but I do agree that to bring up a proper redneck NRA lady one must actually teach them to, you know, question authority, and disassemble guns, and properly handle rattlesnakes, and occasionally help their hubby repair his 67' Bobbie Lee that he intends to race in the mountains against the family from custer county, and occasionally hit him over the head with a bread roller when he starts giving the eye to the little damsel in distress from Custer County sitting on the hood of the other teams vehicle.<br /><br />Real rednecks are so much more fun then puritans! I hope you get to meet some one of these days.Jeremy Jansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218395232783877050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5073940727499322908.post-4421857348184342212010-07-24T16:52:06.079-07:002010-07-24T16:52:06.079-07:00Spot on!

I think your post would be hilarious, if it wasn't so serious and rather tragic. <br /><br />Getting married very young and having a truckload of pregnancies is the way to trap a young woman. Even if she had originally thought about an education and a career, by the 5th baby she would be thinking about nothing but sleep and dirty nappies. What a waste of a lovely young woman's dreams.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
