POPSA Muslim on the Crucifix Controvery at Boston College ...So the student said, "Oh, ecumenical means we think we're all equal, and we didn't want to discriminate against others, and offend outsiders." And the Muslim said, "You mean people like me, and my friend the Jew?" "Well, yes." "Well, I am highly insulted." "Why?" "Well, you're treating me like a bigot." "No, we hate bigotry." "Let me explain. Suppose you came to my country. You enrolled in a Muslim university. Now we don't have pictures or images; we think that's idolatry, but when you are in a Muslim university, you know you are in a Muslim university. Who would object to a Muslim symbol in a Muslim university, except a bigot? Now you expect me to be offended by a Catholic symbol - the crucifix - in a Catholic university, so you are treating me like a bigot." He didn't stop. He said to the students, "How many of you believe that Jesus is the Son of God?" And most of them raised their hand.

POPSSociology - Put it into practice Some of the support areas that I am including in my thesis rely on this field. I feel an understanding of sociology and what groups in the field are doing is invaluable. By knowing ourselves we better understand each other, in turn an understanding of the interactions between us all give insight into the individuality that makes up each of us.

POPSNSW church-state deal 'hampering ethics education' This will change, it's older than me. Remember Religious Instruction as a waste of time. The volunteers were unable to control classes, the kids learnt nothing and many wanted to opt out when there weren't mobs of rewards. So much is put on teachers these days, such as ethics lessons. I taught ethics (non religious) from the first time I walked into a classroom and most teachers do the same.
