Towards the end of KILL BILL 2, Bill was explaining the difference between Superman and all the other superheros. One aspect was that when Superman awoke he awoke as Superman. He had to put on a costume to be Clark Kent to fit in. In order to do this he had to appear weak, without confidence, ... Or something like that. |

That's right I remember that now. I remember someone comparing Superman to Christ. (I hope this doesn't offend anyone) Superman, like Jesus was sent by his father from the heavens to Earth to lead us not through force, but by example. Weird, huh? |

Not so weird. I think there are many comparison's to Christ and saving the world especially in Sci-Fi and Fantasy. So many of us would like to save the world. First we must save ourselves from the demons in our own head. Wasn't there a U2 song something like this? |

I would agree that this is the way to go. My personal experience in a UK state school is actually I believe a very good model. For example when talking about creation in science class we were told that there are multiple theories, and the teacher got us into groups and each group had to research one and report on it to the class. One of the theories that was included was in effect an intelligent design idea. The teacher explained that none of the theories were scientifically certain but that the most popular scientific theory was the currently the big bang. In religious studies classes we were taught about each of the major religions in turn; Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikism and Buddism. In primary school however when children are younger and would find it confusing to be given that kind of information we for example had Christian based assemblies with Christian songs and a local Church of England Priest comming in. Parents were allowed to have their children not attend these sessions if they wanted but I only remember one child not being allowed to go and he was a JW. The rational is that there should be some religious imput for younger children and then older children should be able to make up their own minds and so the education should become more factually based - and not afraid to say that there is more than one or not a definitive answer. Given that its a Christian country most state primary schools have that early years religious imput from Christian churchs although there are some Jewish and Islamic state schools. |
