I've just read Christy's post and I would like to apologise if I have offended anyone by the Sunday school reference.

When I was at home, I learnt about Catholicism through the books that we read about our faith, and by Sunday school. Sunday school was taught in years of age and by a teacher of the faith. I enjoyed it (although again I did challenge someone who spelt God with a small g )

I found that scripture was helpful in primary school, but less helpful in High school. Mainly due to the amount of time available, as well as priests that didn't want to listen to my questions (and I did ask a lot! )

My reference to the scripture in High school now was that if I was still Catholic, I would feel very uneasy about my children being taught by a group that was not from a traditional Christian church. I would rather send them to a Catholic school.

I am also coming from the point of view of a teacher, which is why I said it would be hard to teach both evolution and creationism in a public school. Especially when there are other religions that have different explanations.

As you know, I come from a Catholic background and I like exploring aspects of this faith, just to clarify my own thought. I had not meant to upset anyone else and if I have I'm sorry.

And BW, I definitely do not see you as:

a brain-washed fundamentalist who believes all that she is fed
Anyone that does needs to have a long, hard look at themselves!
