- 3.7 Christians attitudes towards bullying
- Bullying: What is it?
- This affects your everyday behaviour.
- Intimidating/frightening people weaker than yourself.
- Being singled out and make you feel different.
- There are different ways of bullying, physical, verbal and relational.
- There is now cyber-bullying.
- Bullying goes on for 24 hours now.
- Christians are against bullying because:
- Violence without any cause is sinful.
- Human beings are God's creation and shouldn't be mistreated.
- Human rights should be protected: no one should live in fear.
- They should protect the weak and innocent from harm; bullying is the opposite of this.

- 3.8 Muslim attitudes towards bullying
- Muslims are against bullying because:
- Clearly, bullies have no respect for the people they bully, no understanding of their responsibilities.
- Islam regards using violence without a just cause as sinful and bullying always involves using violence and this is sinful.

- 3.9 Religious conflict in families
- There are four main ways that religion can cause arguments and fights in families:
- 1) Children no longer wanting to be religious:
- Religious tell parents to bring their children up in the faith and make sure that they become full members of it as adults.
- Parents worry that without religion their children will become immoral and might make bad decisions.
- Parents worry that they will not see children when they die as they might not go to heaven.
- 2) Children being more religious than their parents:
- If the child wants to have a low-paid job as a priest and is not allowed to marry.
- If the child criticises the parents e.g. Muslims parents who sell alcohol in an off-licence.
- If the child tries to force the parents to be more religious e.g. Christian children wanting their parents to read the Bible everyday.
- 3) Children wanting to marry someone from a different faith:
- Often there can be no religious weeding if they are not the same religion.
- There is a question of which religion the children of the marriage will be brought up in.
- Parents feel their children have betrayed them by falling in love with someone from a different religion.
- 4) Disagreements over decisions:
- If a Catholic Christian decides to divorce and marry someone else (as divorce isn't allowed in this faith).
- If a couple decide to live together rather than marrying.
- If a family member decides to have an abortion.

- 2) Jesus said that if Christians do not forgive others, they will be forgiven by God.
- 3) St Paul said that Christians should try to live in peace with everyone.
- 4) All the Churches teach that Christians should use forgiveness and reconciliation to end conflicts.
- Christian people in forgiving people and bringing them closer together again because:
- What Muslims think about forgiveness?
- Muslim people in forgiving people and bringing them close together again because:
- 1) God is compassionate and merciful to sinners, so Muslims should also be forgiving.
- 2) How can Muslims ask for God's forgiveness on the Last Day, they are not prepared for forgive people?
- 3) The Qur'an says that Muslims should forgive those who offend them.
- 4) Muhammad said in many hadith that Muslims should be forgiving.
- However, Muslims should not be forgiving to those who work against Islam.
