Romaniastan – religious indoctrination in exchange for votes

Taguri: , , ,

Why? Cause at the beginning of the ’90s the Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church had ran to the mountains because of how scared he was and Communism had brought the church to its knees (for which I gracefully thank the Romanian Communist Party) and the Romanian state was truly a secular state.

And so everybody could send their kids to school without getting them back prostrating themselves to a higher power.

Fast forward to now, and the “free elections” we have in dearest Romania, and the fact that peasants still vote whichever way their local priest says and the church wants to make sure that the future generations are going to be submissive, and will guarantee their bellies get big and the welfare of the church gets, oh well, a lot better off and that today’s students will be tomorrows gold teeth donors.

That’s why a huge “Cathedral of the Nation”, as they call it, will be built in downtown Bucharest (instead of a friggin 5000 parking space parking), and be financed from public money (WTF!?!, just because one line of Romania’s anthem mentions priests? And they’re talking about 50 times more money than that parking would have cost :( ( ), and that’s why religion will be mandatory from kindergarten up (cause you’ve gotta get them young, when they can’t think for themselves and will take anything said as true, and not with a grain of salt) and that’s why politicians will always go and make the sign of the cross for every high-ranking church official that kicks the bucket…

I’m not affected by this due to lack of children, but you’d have to be quite an idiot parent to stand for this. Just think how much better it is to teach your child the difference between faith, religion and the real world yourself and not have a priest do it – who knows, maybe come your first heart attack your kid dials 911 and doesn’t get down on his knees to give you your last rights :)

PS: In the US religion is a very important subject and people vote their elected officials taking into account their religion. But making it mandatory in schools is up to the schools themselves (go to Catholic school, you get Catholic school) but parents/kids have a say in the matter and the choice rests with them.
