One photo every day: At work, gluing samples. (46/365)
(Next day edit: Cheating a bit I know, but I got very tired Yesterday so I couldn't stage an official #onephotoeveryday shot. I'll let this post be a project 365 post then.)
Three drops of glue.
This time I'm gluing beauty and skincare product samples onto advertisement pamphlets. Thousands of them.
Product samples in, then close.
Very repetitive stuff.
First hour done.
On unrelated news, my boys want to quit religion, so I fetched a form from the magistrate to do just that. They will need both parent's permission so we'll likely be doing some signatures later today.
Atheists, huh? Well I'm not blaming them. :)

If you liked the post, consider buying me a beer:
I'm trying to imagine that situation.
Hey dad, I wanna quit religion so bring me everything where I need to sign. Why all of sudden lol?? :d
Did they need to sign up to get into religion? I don't think we have that practice here.
No I think we are born into a religion here and added to the parish, then we must resign or quit that faith using forms, either via web or by visiting the magistrate.
That is not correct. Nobody is born into any religion here. If the parents of a newborn are members of a religious community, it is up to them to arrange for the child to become a member of that religious community.
Whether a pupil will have religion or ethics as a subject in school depends on what the guardians of said child want. I don't remember exactly but religion might have been the default choice but because there are many religions it must have been inquired by the school at the time of enrollment. A pupil may opt out of religion and have ethics instead. The city of Lahti teaches at least Orthodox Christianity and Islam in addition to Evangelic-Lutheran Christianity as religion in schools.
Yea I forgot that every child is attached to their religion by baptism.
I did not know that. To be honest, at first I half thought you were joking us :)
I will look at this differently since we are on steemit. The 3 drops of glue: 1st drop=your post, 2nd drop=comments, 3rd drop=reply(ies). As for your boy that wants to quit religion, i guess he has been disappointed in some practises of religion.
Nice analogy with the glue. :)
Yea I guess he is. There was one incident when we were fetching Miro from the daycare. A man on a bike stopped at the gates of the playground and started telling the kids to accept Jesus or burn in the flames of Hell. They used to often ask me what he meant by saying that.
It kind of made them both question religion.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland (ELCF) represents Christianity Lite. It is very liberal. It has had women as ministers for a couple of decades and performing wedding ceremonies for homosexuals is on the table. If you are a liberal secularist but do not believe that religion is going away anytime soon, you should hope for the ELCF to dominate the market for Christianity.
really? I thought Christianity is against homosexuals?
It depends a lot on the denomination or sect. Some are really liberal whereas some are highly conservative. They all pick and choose which parts of the Bible they take seriously and which parts they turn a blind eye to. Also, some parts of the Bible were not even meant to be taken literally. Some of the literal stuff will be taken figuratively anyhow and vice versa. When you have a large religious text that is inconsistent to begin with used by two billion nominal subscribers most of whom are less than perfectly intellectually honest, you'll get a huge array of different kinds of belief systems.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's quite detailed.
Thanks for the smile with the analogy.
I think its bad to implant such ideas of burning in hell to kids. Preaching religion should not be like forcing people to ones belief. The man would have thought he did the right thing from his thought, but the recipients of his message found that uncomfortable. Now, you have to diffuse their mind of such seeds.
They want to quit religion ? Well, I made that choice a few years ago too.
Interesting. I didn't know that skincare product samples are manually glued onto advertisement pamphlets!
You are doing a good job there! Its hard work!
Ah didnt knw one needed to formalize quitting religion. I thought you just did. Maybe it varies? Depending on the religion and country
Quitting religion in school and in general are two different things. If you want to quit religion in school you only have to fill in and return a form and you'll have ethics instead. Quitting religion in general means giving up for membership in a religious community. That's between you and the community. As a relic from the past, though, you have to check a box in your tax form if you belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, the Orthodox Church of Finland, Olaus Petri Swedish Church of Finland, or the German Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, and your membership fees will be go through the tax authority. The four churches are in a unique position to be able to levy a very minor tax on businesses, which is another relic that should not exist in a modern secular society, IMHO.
That's not quite true either.
What I've learned from filling these forms is a student can't "just quit religion" whether in school or in general, it largely depends on their age, and if you are a member of a parish, the school religion teaching is mandatory.
The kids can't fill any of these forms unless they are over 12 years of age, and even then the parents will have to give their approval and sign the form as well if they are under 15. If the kid is under 12 it's the parents who must fill the forms for them.
So in short, if you are a kid under 15, the decision to swap religious teaching in school for ethics is ultimately not theirs to make if their parents aren't happy to go with it.
Right. It is interesting that you will have to resign from your parish before you can switch to ethics from religion. It is actually quite strange. And yes, the kids themselves can't make that choice on their own.
its ur own skincare product @gamer00
Ohh, that's a bit dirty thought, no? ;)
you got a lot of work
Haha, great news, mate! I usually take work like this as some kind of meditation, you just doing simple stuff with no inner dialogue:) That's really creepy, that children should report on their religion and if they wanna quit it. Did they submit any forms to become Christians before?
It's mainly our fault as parents to get them baptized after they were born. There's just not enough information given concerning the naming of babies that we just went with what everyone else was doing. Of course, at that time both Vera and I were still members of the church (believers, not so much), and only later we decided to quit ourselves.
Great post , steemit its a amazing place :) thank you so much for sharing your more life's details
