There's one subject in my school that I think it is really good, the one that should be applied in each school - Religiosity, especially this year with its teacher, Pak Marcel. It is actually the branch of Catholic Class. Since there are lots of students in my school who are not Catholic, the school try to make it democratic and the result is this class.

It talks about the universal value of religions and morals. I am very happy to be able to take this kind of class since it is very useful that we can discuss and share our thoughts and experiences. Besides, in my mind, Catholic Class is useless and somewhat hypocrite. All it does is memorizing about Church, its sacraments, Bible, and so on. And there's only one thing is true: what the Catholic says. We don't have a chance to argue. So, in the end, it's futile and just pass by in our mind without really absorbing it with our heart.

In the other hand, it is really different with the Religiosity Class, especially this year. We discuss, we share, we learn about universal value and moral. No one is absolutely right or definitely wrong. Well, the first and second year was quite the same like Catholic Class, tho it was still better, since the teachers are Catholic-based. But with Pak Marcel, we were guided to be able to speak up. He himself never judge our opinion is wrong. Nor does he never put himself in the most righteous position. He talks like us, ordinary person doing the same sins and mistakes. Unlike those of Catholic-based teacher who act like they are holy persons and we are sinners.

I always loved the discussions and shares. We talked about how we see homosexuals, prostitution, injustice, poor people, even we talked about porn stuffs and masturbation. He is open-minded and not judgmental.

There, we learn how we should be an open-minded person in this life. Accepting new things and opinions and approve or decline it without judging whether or not it is right.

I learn that it is the best way in educating and build up people's mental and character to accept diversity, moreover for Indonesia-kind of country which is ultimately diverse.
