As am I... My schools gone nowhere near that far into anything like that, even during the "Living The Good Life" (Nice name for sex-ed) unit... We did have a teacher who's only really a PE teacher though, so it was all directly out-of-the-book teaching.
We had to watch an abortion video, which was a really big f**king joke IMHO, I don't see how it benefited any student (I go to an all boys school) even slightly.

But if you did anything more than hold hands and you got caught, it was your ass.

So I presumed you went out after 10 and did a lot of masturbation, then? Two rules to break, do them together!

People should pay $15.000 to be taught how great John Zorn is.

Well my namesake and long-dead distant cousin wrote a book about the History of the British Church.
I like History and I don't mind if it covers religious aspects. As long as it doesn't go preachy.
Apart from that, religion is pointless as a concept. Historically though it's hilarious.

Its an in-class essay about the significance of the Eucharist, and also about Archbishop Oscar Romero.
James - Skipping Religion?!
I'm doing a major in RE next year, mainly because I love studying it from a historical point of view...
