I've been inspired to join this forum after having a blazing row with a 'devout' catholic who inhabits the corridors of my school.....and considering it was one of my teachers I am literally terrified even adults in a position of trust and power would become so violent in their argument to a 15 year old....purely because I politely put a different view point to him in a general RS lesson......so heey everyone =D

Another teenage Atheist! The world just keeps on getting better! When I was 15 in 1975 :blush: It's really good to see so many young atheists dotted about the various forums I frequent. In addition with a lot of them if they had not mentioned their age, or given it away by some comment, I would, in many cases, not have realised how young they were.
Good to see you find your way here!

Welcome to the forum. Gnostic atheist eh? That's rare to say the least. I hope you find our community friendly especialy after such an...inapropriate reaction from a teacher.

RS is what they call religious studies.....in year 10 it's compulsory but you dont actually take a GCSE exam in it (thank heavens....)
I mentioned in passing how after reading the bible (and I actually have, just so i can't be called ignorant) that God has actually killed around 300,000 times more people than Satan, and my teacher replied in a surprisingly serious tone how all of those innocent people had sinned, which i deftly replied for such instances as 'burning incense without a licence' (hello Numbers....), to which he subsequently replied that God''s word is final and i should stop being such an 'insolent little kid', so I left the room.....
I swear there is some kind of law about RS teachers having to have unbiased viewpoints on what they teach...?
