@ pravda.
By ‘typical Christian’ I meant the perception that all Christians believe that homosexuality is wrong and that every Christian believes every story, such as Adam and Eve. He believes in every law of the Bible, no matter how morally wrong nowadays, and preaches it during Mass. By a normal parent I meant someone whose beliefs are neutral and who does have their own ideas about certain topics.
@ Alex; periphery.
Oh, then I suppose we were just extremely uneducated in religion in primary school
We were never given the chance to study the worldwide topics such as the ones you bracketed, and it still hasn’t been brought up in our high school religious lessons when we study Christianity. It’s been left up to us to form our opinions on those things. I was actually shocked when I realised that one of the major reasons people were homophobic was to do with religion, since I’d never been taught about that, and I was shocked at how people of my own religion believed in that. I have an uncle who is gay, and he’s a Catholic, so I thought it couldn’t even be possible that religion was really what they were all arguing over.
My opinions on those topics is something I’ve only ever told anyone on the internet. I would like to hear what my classmates and parents believe about them though, since we’ve all had such different upbringings.
