According the The Guardian, the X Factor, yes the http://xfactor.itv.com/?cmpid=PPC_GOOGLE__X%20Factor_X%20Factor_x-factor&ps?cmpid=PPC_GOOGLE_X%20Factor_X%20Factor_x-factor&ps">X Factor , has replaced God in today's schools.
Rather than learning about religion, values and morals through bible readings, hymns and memory verses, the children of today are taking guidance from what is literally 'pop' culture. All the moral fibre that was once drilled into children has been replaced with drivvaly assemblies and lessons based on a 'talent' contest filled with rude, crude and downright pointless comments!
If X Factor is the new God, then that surely makes Simon Cowell our Saviour, which is frankly worrying. Can a high trousered, womanising, rude man with virtually nothing but his and his record labels interests at heart really teach our youth how to behave in a virtuous way??
I think not- he's more the anti-Christ.
I accept that we now live in a diverse culture with many different faiths, but rather than abandoning religion completely in favour of mindless rubbish, should we not be providing a multi faith education?
