ofcourse dogs are believed to be faithful and honest pets. the big difference between humans and animals is that only humans have the capacity to think.

I saw this post and thought it was an interesting topic.The answer is that I really dont know!but I do know that in many schools there are many different cultures,so I am not at all sure how the teaching of religious education goes on.The Catholics have their own schools usually,and then there are Quaker schools,but im sure that when it comes to many of the remaining religions that we practise what we belive in when we are at home,and when the children are at school,tey have some simple kind of religious education.It would be incredibly difficult to teach each abd everyone of the religions within schools.

i have no problem as long as it is taught as fantasy, a pretty story. When i have a problem is when childrens minds are poisoned by it being taught as truth blessed be

I believe that God should be in the school system...like i pledge the flag,and add under God..I also think that prayer should be in the schools..I do not think that a certain religion such as quran ,gita or ramayana or good to keep in the schools...This is the USA and I think if anything is taught they should stick to the Holy Bible or just leave prayer in the schools and don't have names of the books attached to it...there is just to many different views to try and teach all differnt religions,just stick to the basic's..

of course!! knowledge to almost everything is always good as it opens up the horizon of everybody's mind giving every one a good eye on the needs of others, understanding the other's likes and dislikes. teaching the different religion in school is very good as it opens the minds of the students on the differences as well as similarities of the different beliefs that are around, thereby knowing how to respect and with respect, will come understanding, and with understanding will we finally have peace.

Would be a very good option these days as children these days are getting into bad habits.I think there should be a separate period for these epics....
