Supreme Court rules RE in Northern Ireland is 'equivalent to indoctrination'

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of a Belfast-based non-religious father and his child that the exclusively Christian teaching of Religious Education and mandatory Christian collective worship in Northern Ireland are discriminatory under human rights law.

But but but...Freedom!

I will stay tuned for sure. The catholic church's support for Hitler is pretty well documented but presents a fundamental problem for Christians...in theor belief of a heaven and he'll...where is Hitler? He was, by the church's own explicit support, a good Christian.

Too many or not enough? For an organization that granted Hitler free reign and basically canonized him, they might think they're not anti-semitic enough!

Noone articulates that better than Christopher Hitchens.

Bad headline. It was headshot. We've all seen the video. How intentional, the role of the height difference and what the penalty should've been can all be discussed.

You presuppose that he and the project 2025 team is interested in popularity.

I don't know how you blame anyone for going to extra innings in a game 7. Sports can be brutal but its the sum of everything that got you there, not one play.

FuKKK religion.
All of them

Have a godless day 🥳

In this economy?

This article is not brand new but I feel like a 'finally' is in order. A brilliant articulation of the privileged positions of the 'haves' and the tangible suffering they cause with their idyllic views of feeding people.

We're not perfect but in every tangible measurement of prosperity and we'll being, we are among the best in the world. Isn't that tue most important?

One extremism won’t save you from another In the face of concerns about rising Christian Nationalism in the UK, the retort from some quarters has been to suggest that it is at least a better option than Islamic fundamentalism. This implies a ...

The notion that we must accept one form of religious extremism in order to guard against another is a false choice. The defence of an open, liberal society should be based on principled secularism and universal human rights, not a cynical, self-defeating bargain.

*one particular version of one of the gods

IF you call yourself “deeply religious” & think what’s going on in 🇺🇸, and other countries with similar beliefs-you’re the problem.

You put fake deities before human beings, and the only planet we all live on including #wildlife.

GFY’s. 🪶😡💔🧡 #OnePlanet #Fascism #FreeGaza #TruthAndReconciliation

If I were a company that owns Star Wars and planned on capitulating to fascist threats, I wouldn't have provided Star Wars fans with two seasons of well-written anti-fascist inspiration right before doing so.

Let's see if we can have an honest conversation about what's spewed inside the walls of worship.

Area man who dropped out of community college after two months to go work as VP at father’s company tell local kids to try harder.

Humanism in a nutshell: putting human beings and other living things at the centre of your moral outlook. 2: seeing the world as a natural place and looking to science and reason to make sense of it. 3: Promoting and supporting human flourishing across all frontiers and championing human rights for everyone.

What is humanism, anyway?

Like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer is in quicksand...now I'll use my arms to pull out my legs, and my face to pull out my arms.

We can start with GM crops. Why are they fully approved for food and feed consumption in Europe but farmers can't access technologies that reduce pesticides, non target effects and enable better soil health?

Grapes in general require more pest protection than arable crops...but the pseudoscience driven regulatory framework limits effective, safe, sustainable tools for producers.

That hat tho...

What do you thinkbthe starting rotation will be in the playoffs?

It might be a very tasty tart but butter it sounds like it is not.

Seems like the team is getting stronger and better on the homestretch...providing Vladdy's ok.
