They are certainly outside the mold of the more pedestrian form of Catholic education, and Catholic cultists. <br /><br />perhaps your "Men for others" assessment is well applied.<br /><br />HumpDromedary Humphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165566701791663057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-48635246036908327242012-06-10T12:09:26.461-04:002012-06-10T12:09:26.461-04:00Hi Hump,

I became an atheist while in their care, and while I was openly critical of their belief system, they absolutely did not try to indoctrinate me. Indeed, their message during our debates was to "Keep an open mind, for one day I may experience an event that will challenge my world view". <br /><br />Unbelievably, Jesuits are Men of Science, and through them, I studied and became a scientist and have researched for 35+ years.<br /><br />The Jesuits I grew up with were articulate thinkers, and well understood the frailties of belief. Propagandists they were not. I consider them "Men for others".hottr6https://www.blogger.com/profile/03827647497359575116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-42500808677536685122012-04-27T19:19:57.040-04:002012-04-27T19:19:57.040-04:00One of my atheist relatives decided with his wife ...One of my atheist relatives decided with his wife to send their children to a religious private school believing that they would receive a better education that way. Turns out that's all a load of bull. In the end they pulled their kids out and sent them to a state school because they spent most of their time praising Jesus, but at the end of the day couldn't add 2 and 2 together.<br /><br />I am quite happy with the fact that I was educated in secular state schools. We learned real science, how to use condoms and the facts about reproduction, STDs and homosexuality, and I don't think we were once told that sex was only for when you got married. Imagine getting that education in a Catholic school.Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488651241352366915.post-23627757179843593902012-04-25T05:57:51.189-04:002012-04-25T05:57:51.189-04:00"Your child will be indoctrinated into the pr..."Your child will be indoctrinated into the preferred myth and non-think of the school's religious sect early - before they can form their own independent thoughts, concepts and perspectives."<br /><br />That's it.

I got thrown out though because I had one hell of a temper and I threw a chair at a nun. I am of the opinion that religious instruction is a personal and private matter. I don't think that it is necessary in public schools. <br /><br />If you want to brain wash your kids with religious indoctrination at an early age then knock yourself out. I don't care as long as it's being done in a school that is not funded by the state. This is one of the reasons I think they shouldn't be allowed to teach ID in public schools because it's not science it's religion.Chatpilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550924322118366351noreply@blogger.com
