The Christmas of 2008 will be a historic one in Norwegian schools. A gradual downscaling of christian teaching brought on by the substitution of the class "christianity" by "livssyn" (directly translated; view on life; a class that emphasizes humanism) and continuing with the KRL-reform (KRL; knowlede on christianity, philosophy and religion), has now culminated in a national ban on any form of christian preaching on school grounds, Christmas songs with religious messages included. Attending church during school hours as a termination of fall term will only be allowed for the individual student if the parents report an explicit wish.

Protests by the Church of Norway have been completely absent, as have commentaries by the former government party KrF (Christian people's party). Baksiden.net contacted Oslo Bishops office, who expressed regret about the downscaling, but plans no activity directed at it. The representative of the Church of Norway did, however, encourage the population to start campaigns on their own, so that the men of the church would have "adequate documentation" in an eventual confrontation with the Department. One must therefore draw the conclusion that the documentation of 1400 pages already in existence - the so called "Bible" - is not adequate for the Church of Norway.

The absense of action is not unexpected, seen in the light of protestantic tradition. The Protestant communities have, ever since Martin Luther chose the Prince as his patron, shown remarkable conveniacne relating to own religion and religious texts. Luther himself made several attempts to edit out the parts of the Bible critical of capitalism.

- According to the Department of education, Christian Christmas has been abolished after instruction from UN's Commision on Human Rights. UN's Human Rights applies to all persons, except those that do not share UN's views - they are excluded with the authority of article 30 in the Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration gives all persons a long series of rights including freedom of thought - but only if the thought does not diverge from humanism.

Naturally, one can find many good arguments for both a secularistic state and a secularistic school. If Norwegians do not want to listen to the message of Christ they should (in the name of the Lord) be allowed not to, but the problem is of a different nature entirely.

Parallel to the reduction of Christianity, a surrogat religion has been introduced to the school system under the name of "humanism". Just like Christianity and most other religions, humanism is based on a system of axiomatic arguments. Humanism as a religious system is based on "the inherent value of human life" - a metaphysical quantity which can not be observed, but is the subject of faith. One believes in "value of human life" the same way one used to believe in the Son of God. But unlike the Son of God, this inherent human value has never been seen, it is a quantity of unknown currency that is to be assigned every human being not matter their thoughts, words or actions. The argument of "equal worth" - the idea that all people have an inherent, equal value, follows the postulate of human value. Observations of all sides of society (health care, criminal politics, disability politics, solutions for homeless and drug abusers) indicate that a price in dollars and cents is assigned to human lives every day, but according to the humanists, this is not the real human value - the real human value is persistent, equal and inviolable. The idea that a person one does not know and have not met has equal value to the individual as their own mother or daughter, is an absurdity to the independently thinking person, but this is met with the same religious cirkular argument; the real human value is persistent, equal and inviolable.

In Norwegian schools all religions, historic and contemporary, are now portrayed as old-fashioned, entertaining fairytales. Humanism, on the other hand, which in its axiomatic nature appears as a more edible edition of marxism, is taught as eternally valid and the only possible philosophy on life for a modern, thinking person. Those who feared and atheistic Christmas, likely do not have to fear long. The probability for walking around the Christmas tree with UN flags and songs about all of mankinds unconditional brotherhood (another, non-observable and therefore metaphysical quantity) is high.


- European medieval witches burned according to instructions from "Malleus Maleficarum". No one reacted because the Church was directly under Gods command.	- South African contemporary witch (Zulu) burned according to instructions from the party management of ANC (which stands for "human value"). No one reacted because ANC was directly under Nelson Mandela's command.

Rasister, abortmotstandere og fundamentalister som står trygt plassert på en ikke-relativ ideologisk eller religiøs plattform kommer fort i konflikt med humanistene og siden humanismen nå, for alle praktiske formål, er statens religion, kan disse forfølges fritt, også denne gang med "presteskapets" velsignelse. De er ikke skikkelige mennesker, de som fordømmer fritt konsum, seksualliberalsime og normoppløsning, de er umoralske, mindreverdige - ja, faktisk - sjeleløse.

In the history of the Church, all humans have a corresponding value, although measured in a currency; number of souls (1). Exceptions have existed, though; individuals or groups that rejected the message of the Church have had a disturbing tendency to be labeled evil and soulless, and have at several occasions been exposed to grave pyrotechnical incidents. Along the same religious lines are also persons that can not claim to possess inherent human value - those that do not share the value relativism of the humanists. Racists, antiabortionists and fundamentalists that are safely planted on a non-relative ideological or religious platform come rapidly in conflict with humanists, and since humanism is now, for all practical purposes, the religion of the state, these can be persecuted freely, this time, as well, with the "priesthoods" blessing. They are not real people, the ones that condemn free consumption, sexual liberalism and dissolution of norms, they are immoral, inferior - yes, in fact - soulless.
