Why? How on earth can we expect children to appreciate differences in others if they are educated in a single faith school? Religion, faith or whatever is a matter for the family not the education system, unless of course, one wishes to perpetrate the isolation of particular groups. This doesn't square with our expressed desire for integration. Or is it me?

Thank you for all your comments. What we all need most is faith in ourselves, not in some external being. Then we shall truly start to take responsibility for ourselves by being answerable to noone but ourselves for our own lives. I respect all faiths and the great teachers they have produced but I do not look for or expect help or forgiveness from anywhere but inside myself. This is not something I've come up with recently. It struck me as a fundamental truth when I was 15.
Thank you, whatshername, I feel quite light enough! I was just curious as to the mechanism of getting multiple identities on a forum - I don't give a toss what you want to call yourself.
How do you manage to become two different persons on a forum - all of my expat forums won't accept more than one name from any e-mail address. (Not that I want another name, I am very happy to be myself.)
