Danger said:I agree with Alex; I was beaten up on a regular basis in public school for being an Atheist, with the approval of the teaching staff. In fact, the one time that I fought back to defend myself I was punished for it. People like to call Alberta the bible-belt of Canada, but it's nothing compared to those raving Jesus freaks in southern Ontario.
So far, Alex appears to want a re-run of the crusades. But this time in favour of science.
Massive over reaction.
Just don't speak to these people (in his case).
In your case, well you clearly went to the wrong school. Did you not tell your parents? Did you not try to move schools?
Next to exporting all these people to a remote island or actually shooting them, they're always going to be around. They don't want to learn or have any interest in science, so it's futile trying to battle it with them.
They are defending their beliefs as we defend science, as irrational as they might be.
Just let them be.
