(English) Public schools are the nurseries of all vice and immorality.
Fernapple comments on Sep 12, 2018:
I do not think that the churches and the schools in many countries including the uk are really two different things anyway. Many public schools in the past (and still) were run by churchs, and many state schools to this day are still in the church system. It is only now a few years since T. Blair ...

@Marionville Yes but the school system started in the catholic tradition back in the middle ages, it was an unbroken tradition passed down the generations, since the British reformation was a gradual transition rather than the revolution (with a few violent but limited events) it was in some countries, and it should not be underestimated just how deeply influential the church was in the schools (some of which were church schools) many of the masters had undoubtedly had theological backgrounds, and at the very least the church, the pastors and their no doubt very religious wives stood by and did nothing. While the privilege of the ruling classes very much relied on the churches indoctrination of the population and you can no more separate the church from the British political establishment and its attitudes than you can tease out its fingers from the schools. Why is it important to exonerate the church from its roles in all of this anyway?

@Marionville Yes but is not the church also one of the biggest props of and at the heart and core of the class system, and what creates vice like the church. Every public school had a pastor, and in Fieldings day many of the teachers in schools and higher education were clergy too you can not divide the two. P. S not wishing to bore people, but in case you need to know why the church makes vice. The church of course promotes vice because vice leads to guilt, which needs forgiveness, which is the churches big earner. Thus the church encouraged the lack of good behaviour and the idea of vice today get a pass from god tomorrow, even in its schools, and it ran and still runs today though the education system in the UK.
When to switch primarily identifying as an Agnostic to Atheist?
Fernapple comments on Sep 9, 2018:
I sometimes call myself a 'broard church' skeptic, because I think that the biggest split do not forget is between belief and none belief, compared with leaving groundless faith behind the other divisions are tiny, and the most important thing have left behind with that faith is dogma.

@Rhetoric Yes that's it. I am sorry I was in haste this morning and perhaps did not make myself plain. De spilling an gamma pinctuation is tirrable two. Must be more careful.
