The RE indoctrinator at my school hit me on the head with the wooden side for asking awkward questions, then banned me from ever setting foot in her class again.

It’s the people I struggle with more than the religion!!
How are you differentiating the two? Religion is man-made concept, surely.
Yes. But I don't exactly believe in the religion bit, so I struggle with people that try to force other people to believe in something they believe in and follow the behaviours 'required' by that.
A bit like Yorick with modern superbikes! :think:
