      Ginger, garlic, green onion.

      While they were eating, Jesus took garlic clove, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink from this golden fruit of the churn from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Onions.

    Last year I had to put to rest my official copies of the holy trinity. They were well used, an inspiration to us all and I frequently re-read chapter and verse for inspiration. The savior as a humble man, a peaceful man, professing love for others (and for lunch), small of stature and with large hairy feet, endures trials and tribulations including a soldier sticking a spear in his side

    But they were paperbacks, bought in 1986, and read many, many times no more cheering the coming of the light, the drumbeats from the deep, true knights on noble steeds

    The Holy Trinity never disappoints. Father, Son, and the Magic Bird. Perfectly reasonable. ALL HAIL THE MAGIC BIRD

    Ehh it depends how many religions they actually include. If they have several major world religions, they can educate on religious themes and cultural relevance etc.

    You know, different from religious indoctrination where you’re just told about one religion and graded on your ability to regurgitate it, not comprehend it.

        I went to a Catholic high school in Ontario. our religion classes in grade 11 and 12 were about world religions and ethics. they were actually quite good because our teacher was great

        however the grade nine and 10 religion classes were just Catholic indoctrination trash, though it was easy to ignore. just a waste of a period when I could have been taking art or something that I didn’t get enough exposure to

          I went to catholic school in California. Those religion classes were where I did my homework for the next class. It wasn’t like in 9th grade they were teaching something that they hadn’t taught in my Kindergarten through 8th grade. Just right “be a peacemaker” on the test and move on.
