Studies of Religion.

I understood it and did really well in Religion (I got 96% in my HSC/final year for it) so from a historical stand-point, I understood it. I understood what each religion (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism) was about and what their practices/beliefs were. I just couldn't understand why anyone believed in any of them and I ALWAYS got into fights/debates with my religion teacher over why we shouldn't believe in Catholicism. She used to get pretty upset because once I started it, the whole class would get on my side and everyone would start asking questions like "where are the dinosaurs in The Bible?" and stuff like that.

I'm going to encourage my nieces and nephews to do the same though. If you're meant to think critically in every other subject, and discredit all the wrong answers until only the incontrovertible truth remains, then why shouldn't you do it in Studies of Religion too?

Why we had to take subjects that don't concern us at all. Like, in my high school, just before you get into ninth grade, they gave us this sheet and we had to choose whether we wanted to focus more on the business stream (Commerce, Accounting, IT etc.) or scientific stream (Physics, Chemistry, Geography etc.). But for some reason everyone had to take Biology and the math they taught us involved so many random **** that was completely pointless for those who wanted to do something involving business, like....?

I get that it's good to know more, but if someone knows what they wanna do, why not spend more time teaching them what they're passionate about instead of wasting time by teaching them something they could care less about and would eventually forget about? It honestly pissed me off, especially Biology, because I KNOW for a fact that I don't care about it, but I had to spend several hours memorizing stupid bull**** just so I could get a good grade, and for what? Absolutely nothing

I don't even know what you're referring to here.
