i am not a christian

[walter mitty]

some of you may recall my dilemma when my son was at nursery and he had a nativity play and i dint want him to be in it


well he now goes to a COE school and he came home today and told his mummy that the firestation in his class has been turned into a stable


for baby jesus
angels and a donkey

when asked if there were any wise men he said "yes mummy 61 of them"


i dont know whether to laugh shit or cry tbh

Perhaps you could have sent him to a different school.

There's no harm in this kind of thing. COE schools are 'moderate' in their teaching of such things. If your son is a bright enough lad, which I'm sure he is, then he'll be able to make up his own mind.

It's the Creationist schools that I object to.

What he said.

My kids made their own mind up, and I wouldn't claim they are any more clever than other kids.

my daughter went to a CoE school. She was never christened and remains completely unreligious to this day.

about quarter of the kids at her school were muslim pakistani / bangladeshi so it's not like they were force fed the baby Jesus stuff

Unless your son is a complete retard he won grow up believing in Creationism. I had a nativity when I was at primary schools (7 years ago) and I loved it.
