Good luck nerdman978, don't sell yourself out. Stand up for what you believe in (or in this case know).
You know, arguing with the teacher about religion; however fun, is extremely difficult and infeasible. They are so incredibly stubborn that they will tell you to shut up to block the reason out. My friend (on here is I_am_god) has tried arguing and merely got yelled at. It's not worth it my friend.

In fact, once, there were two essay questions, and I only answered one of them (As in max-points-possible=50/100), though I did cover it very thoroughly. And I basically said our church is all wrong. I still got an A. Can't say whether your teacher is quite so open minded though...

Last year my teacher didn't care at all, this year, different story. Last year if the question was "How can we better follow in the footsteps of Jesus" and I put "I do not wish to follow in the footsteps of Jesus". I got straight A's all year

Maybe there's a link between using Linux and being rational - and rational people are more likely to be atheists (although I'm not implying that religion is irrational*)


*yes i am.
