Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)I'm an atheist but believe in life after death.(Original post by MangoFreak)
I enjoy being allowed to make fun of religion, as it's a subject about opinions, really
I'm not some crazy fanatic Atheist, I just enjoy mocking faith

Once a girl had a hissy fit because I said that, according to religion, everybody is going to 'Hell'.
For the record, I said that some religions say that if you're not a member of that religion, then you will go to Hell. Seeing as more than one religion says that, and assuming that those religions are all correct, we're all going to hell
I'd rather rot in the ground if that's okay with 'God'

Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)Oh, it's because I don't go to a state school. Therefore my school is not breaking the law.(Original post by Dalek1099)
"Under the law, state schools must teach the subject to under-16s, regardless of whether they are studying religion for a GCSE."
"RE remains a vital part of the school curriculum – that's why it remains compulsory for every student up to 16. It's down to schools to judge how it is taught and how it fits into wider school life."

Your school might be breaking the law. -
Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)How can all religions be correct if they contradict each other? I dont see how you can possibly assume they are all correct?(Original post by Little Tail Chaser)

Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)That was kinda the point(Original post by Mahii)

They can't.
The 'all of them being correct' thing was just for arguement's sake, as there is no possible way of deternining which ones are 'right' and 'wrong'. -
Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)not necessarily,some Christians believe that different religions are just different ways in finding god-learnt this in RE.(Original post by Little Tail Chaser)

What did you get? They're only mocks. I doubt any teacher would predict lower than what they think you should get because of a mock exam.
At least I hope you're talking about mocks. Rather awkward otherwise...
I've only been doing my mocks this week. My school is apparently quite late. Latin exams are fun

Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)no one got an A?You can resit and should to get band 5-a few people are resitting Unit 3 CAs needing full or close to full marks,to get the grade they want but I have an A*,to be moderated,in the full GCSE.(Original post by themancunian)
I was a couple of marks off a 5 but overall I am happy, it's a pass anyway. I think band 4 translates to a grade B? -
Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)Not that I know of, for all I'm certain I have the highest in the year (To my teachers knowledge) so I highly doubt. Unless a band 4 is an A and band 5 an A*(Original post by Dalek1099)
