but gcse RS covers lots of other things like euthanasia, abortion.. loads of moral issues and stuff like that. it's not just religion based which i thought was good..

I actually wish that there were a mandatory morals/ethics/critical thinking course in every school system. And ditto for a course on healthy relationship skills. I think those two things are more important than any single traditional class, yet they're never taught.
The atoms that make up you and me were born in the hearts of suns many times greater than ours, and in time our atoms will once again reside amongst the stars. Life is but an idle dalliance of the cosmos, frail, and soon forgotten. We have been set adrift in an ocean whose tides we are only beginning to comprehend and with that maturity has come the realization that we are, at least for now, alone. In that loneliness, it falls to us to shine as brightly as the stars from which we came.
