But after folk lob enough insults masked as questions at you, you kind of want to respond. The "central point" seems to be that folk have an idea of God in their head that they're sure doesn't exist. I don't really care—the God they're sure doesn't exist doesn't look much like the divine that I know. I can go on for a few hefty chapters about it but I presume nobody else really cares much either, but then that gets called deflecting? But if the church dies, it dies. It will be resurrected in a way I can't imagine. Ah you'll be rewarded by eternity away from heathen arseholes, forgive us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if by some chance Calvin himself was actually right on that score, it's just a crap shoot as to which ones of us are there. (To his credit, his main take on it was, "you're not going to know anyway, so quit worrying about it" which seems decent advice all the way around.)

Religion should not be an issue when deciding which school you go to, in 2022. Teach your kids whichever religion you want on your own time.

It's actually quite bizarre that segregated schools continue to exist, given the self-admitted 'agnosticism' of 56% of the population (2019) -- up 4% points on 2018.
