I remember that in social studies in 7th grade, we formed into four groups to make presentations to the class on Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam. We could pick any religion but our own. I picked Islam (a religion I knew next to nothing about), but all but four of us in the class were Jewish, so the teacher moved me over to Judaism. So this particular Godless soul "taught" Judaism to a class full of Jews. Tongue The Jews (we didn't have any Muslims or Buddhists in the class) who presented Christianity annoyed me some, because it was all about Dante's Inferno and fallen angels and so forth, so the class thought it all absurd, and laughed uproariously. I raised my hand to object, but before I could say much, the teacher interjected to say, well, this is just Catholicism, and not about other branches of the religion. She thought that was the way out of the box, because nobody in the class was Catholic. I was not appeased, but whatever.
