I guess you do learn something new every day. By the way Kjartan surely mass and confirmation exams are both religion more than education. (I said more not are only religion.) To me it seems fair that people should be allowed to be confirmed even if they are not up to the academic requirements of the exam. I did not know you had to pass an exam to be confirmed.

Firstly from the above description it would seem like this is an optional thing, or at least some sort of 'perk' for the kids. If you go 200 times you get an automatic pass in you confirmation exam (presumably as it at least shows your committed to the church and would presumably picked up a bit of knowledge in your attendance). If kids are having to go all the time anyway, why not get a perk from it? I think they should throw in Nectar points for doing confession. I dont see the big deal.

Seems like they are putting religion before school and human development. Go to church enough and you won’t need to study as much?
