Bringing the Bible back to the classroom |
The Bible should be taught in every classroom in America. The literary
qualities alone are sufficient enough reason to do so. America can not spend
her energies catering to the crying of the Jews and the Atheists, both of
whom have an aversion to anything Christian. The overwhelming majority of
people embrace the Bible and should have cause to expect it to be taught to
our children.
http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/10/32006h.asp
....This academic year, hundreds of public school districts nationwide are
offering elective Bible courses in high schools, which can be legal if it's
done carefully. The Supreme Court, in its 1963 ruling that barred ceremonial
school Bible readings, said the Bible is "worthy of study for its literary
and historic qualities" so long as material is "presented objectively as
part of a secular program of education." Surveys show widespread biblical
illiteracy among young Americans, much to the distress of high school and
college teachers who recognize scripture's central role in culture and
history. Competing curricula are offered by the Bible Literacy Project and
the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools.

How much material of the time have you read? It is actually a rather
remarkable document in many ways. Not that justifies it as a primary
teaching text, I don't see much value of it in public school, but it
is far better than you suggest. That it does not read like a modern
novel is not exactly a criticism.

I don't have any problem teaching it as literature. Or with teaching
the Koran as literature in the same course. Or Lord of the Rings. Not
all literature is Shakespeare.
And I certainly don't have any problem with using it in a Comparative
Religion course.
I can't see any reason to teach it in elementary school, though. You'd
have to eliminate large parts of it. Killing, rape and pillage are
NOT things to teach to 6-year-olds.

Well...None of it is true, but I doubt most of
it is lies as such. Just stupid ideas, bad
history, and a few tips appropriate to the
time it was written.
This God, on the other hand, is a liar. He
is none of omnipotent, omniscient, nor
ombenevolent.
Aside from that, it's bad literature. Poorly
written and disjointed. I didn't even bother
reading beyond the first sentence of the
original post because the first sentence
was such a joke.

Wiat. Wait. Are you saying that because the cities of Pithom & Ramases
were known to the Hebrew grimorie writers in ca.-540 Gregoian the Hebrew
grinmorie is true? Or are you saying that those cities were built by
Hebrew slaves as claimed by the Hebrew grimorie, therefore the myth is
true? Either way does not make much sense, well, about as much sense as
trying to have a conversation with sphere whose style is familiar.
Susan
walksalone who does not accept that either event would qualify as true IRT
the Judaic myth. Now if some one has information that will change my mind,
why what a plasanrt surprise that wou;d be indeed.
Believing is easier than thinking. Hence so many more believers than
thinkers.

Well yes, & some people say the earth is flat, are you saying that you are
in that group, those that make assertions without reason, that is without
reason others can see without asking for clarification?
BTW, if you are insinuating the Hebrew grimorie has historical truths,
then you need to be able to verify it. However, given the date that the
final edition was rendered, that will be a very hard chore for you indeed
Susan
walksalone who is more than idly curious, or he would have not asked the
questions.
Is it not odd that those that make the assertions rarely can find the
information to back their claims up, yet everyone else is expected to
blindly accept their assertions.

When you start dragging stuff into the equation that I didn't address,

If you want to ignore the historical facts that archaeologists have
uncovered sities that some people have sworn didn't exist, fine.
But it does invalidate the statement that the Torah is "entirely made up"
It's only one piece of evidence, but only one is needed for a stupid
statement like that.

Many sites in the Torah have been dug up, though, and found to be not
there, or not what the Torah said they were.
Someone saying "there's nothing there" then having something found
there doesn't validate the torah. Having the Torah say something is
there, then finding that it isn't there, does INVALIDATE the Torah. We
need only 1 error to invalidate it.

The Bible should be taught in every classroom in America.
Then so should the Koran. right? Otherwise, you're a
hypocrite.
How so, if it is an elective course?
"In EVERY classroom in America" would be ELECTIVE???
His comment was beyond the message in the link he referenced where it
mentioned elective study.
I would also have issue with the Bible being taught in EVERY classroom.
How would anyone in the USA learn math or science or even geography of the
USA and its possessions if every classroom were dedicated to teaching the
Bible?
Me, I'll go the SENSIBLE route, and continue to defend
the separation of church and state.
Don't you mean you will go the route that purports words
that are nowhere to be found in the Constitution itself?
Try reading the First Amendment of the Constitution with
comprehension sometime.
Sure thing. Free Speech, etc.

Not until it is proven to be true.
The literary
qualities alone are sufficient enough reason to do so.
Nonsense.
America can not spend
her energies catering to the crying of the Jews and the Atheists, both of
whom have an aversion to anything Christian.
Irrelevant, even if true. You advocate a violation of current law.
The overwhelming majority of
people embrace the Bible and should have cause to expect it to be taught to
our children.
Religious indoctrination is not a function of public schools.

Once upon a time in alt.atheism, dear sweet J Young
(youngopinions@aol.com) made the light shine upon us with this:
The Bible should be taught in every classroom in America.
Would that include the big city classrooms which include Muslim and Hindu
students? Do you think Jesus should be taught to the Jewish students?
You religious morons ALL think your own personal religion is the one true
religion, and you don't give a ***** about what other people believe,
including those of us who have every constitutional right to believe there
are no gods.
***** you.

Of course not.
Do you think Jesus should be taught to the Jewish students?
Now *there's* a rhetorical question.
Of course the bigot wants just that.

I get the feeling he wants that, too.

The Bible should be taught in every classroom in America.
Now why would we want to do that.
It is a man made book, written and interpreted over the ages to mean what
the people in power wanted it to mean.

LOL!
Does this mean that you think that all other books are somehow not manmade?

Why do you keep your tongue lolling? Or is that what's left of your
brain? It's repulsive, whatever else it is.

Would you consider what you're doing, thinking? Idiot.

What it means is I have a healthy suspicion of the bible as being the words
of God.
I do not give the bible as much high respect as quite a few religious people
seem to do.
I am not knocking them for that, but I do not support their desire to force
that belief of their bible on everyone.
And yes I am on the right, and yes I believe in God. I just do not need a
bible to tell me what to believe.
