with Jade and Caelan it's not so much forced but at 5 year old you believe what the teachers say and if they say 'now we will pray' they doElfDude wrote:I'm not sure how you force someone to pray. Unless you're talking about reciting something out loud. Is that what it was? If so, I oppose it too.Soup4Rush wrote:You should have a choice. If you want to pray cool, if not thats cool too.
I dont discuss the religious issue with Caelan as he is too young to really understand and I am not gonna force my beliefs on him...he will learn for himself....as for Jade we can now discuss it

Schu, without trying to sound like an ass, I ask you this................ even though you stand the way you do with religion, (And I am also one who questions religion at every turn), Is it not the choice of Jade and Caelan as to wether they want to or not?
Freewill and all.
Just curious.

not when they are 5 year old....it take a rare child of that age to not follow what their teacher says and what every other child is doing and say 'no I'm not praying'Walkinghairball wrote:Is it not the choice of Jade and Caelan as to wether they want to or not?
They dont even really know what 'praying' is
In fact when Caelan wakes up tomorrow I will ask him 2 questions..
Who/what is God?
Why do you pray at school?
I dont know what his answers will be but I'll let you know
Must have been customized perhaps? They would have removed it when 911 happened. If it has a negative meaning, they would have got their ass kicked. I thought it sounded insulting. 911 BURN. It looked pretty new to me.ElfDude wrote:Whoa! Was it a coincidence or a customized one? Could you even tell?rushlight wrote:Yesterday, I went out to the arts and crafts shop for charcoal sticks.
