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.

I agree and the bible should be read by everyone. Why? Because we need
more atheists and nothing will get you there quicker than by reading the
damn bible. The bible promotes bigotry, racism, hatred, polygamy, and
even murder. Read the bible - become an atheist.

Been there, done that. However, not in every classroom. The class was
one of a number of electives offered in the high school. Bible as
Literature was the name of the class. Two classes were taught each
semester by one teacher; there was never enough demand for the class to
add extra sections - let alone another teacher. Also offered was a
class in world religions...about two classes taught each semester, again
by only one teacher. Few college-bound students took the classes; they
took the classes offering Chaucer to Shakespeare, writing classes,
modern literature, etc.
"Bible illiteracy" was not and is not a concern to the majority of
students, college and high school instructors, nor parents. If the
demand is not there, the schools have no need to respond to the
hysterics of a few - a few who see their beliefs being ignored by the
majority of Americans.
Pangur - who never taught the classes...but took Early English Lit. from
one class/one teacher per semester to 6 classes offered and two teachers
needed to handle the demand.

Right. I wondered if the EAC would manage to get this project off the
ground. The following web resources will be required reading for students:
http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/
http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/
Of course the EAC doesn't exist and has nothing to do with it ;-). All
documentation must be vaporised by the usual method.

I have my doubts that this would have the result you intend. The bible is
well-known in atheist circles as the greatest force for atheism on this planet.
Reading the whole Bible from cover to cover, with an honest open mind as to its
content, has created more atheists than any other force. In fact, many of us
atheists believe that if Christians would actually READ their Bibles that they
would realize that it is not the inspired word of God and would join our merry
ranks.
The literary
qualities alone are sufficient enough reason to do so.
With a few exceptions, like the book of John, the literary quality of the Bible
is actually very poor, definitely far inferior to Shakespeare. And almost all
of it isn't even original either.
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.
The federal government of America has no choice but to avoid catering to any
religious group, including Christians, according to the constitution.

I wonder why. The Bible offers a seriously skewed historic view and it
is shoddily threwn together, with lots of contradictions and omissions
that don't make any sense in a literary fashion. I think students
would be better off studying proper history and real literature.

There are 18 different English versions alone and dozens of other holy books
claimed to be the word of some god.
I see no problem with the Bibles, along with other literature, being
discussed in a class on world literature but it should NOT under any
circumstance be used in public schools and to teach religion.
The citizens of the USA represent over 100 religions plus atheism. Just one
religion should not be forced on all these students of various and different
beliefs.

Which version? And who gets to decide?

The Catholic bible should be used. The KJV still won't admit to the books they
took out in 1604AD.
Replace the missing chapters with Peter Pan. No one will
know the difference, especially if it's translated to Latin and
recited by a man in a dress.

Yep - we should make sure they know that:
The universe revolves around the earth.
Stars are pinpricks in the heavens.
The world is flat (and on pillars)
Bats are a kind of bird.
Rabbits chew their cud.
There is enough water to flood the entire planet
Women were created from a man's rib
Rainbows are a promise from God
and that
Genesis 1:11-12, 26-27 Trees were created before man was created.
Genesis 2:4-9 Man was created before trees were created.
Genesis 1:20-21, 26-27 Birds were created before man was created.
Genesis 2:7, 19 Man was created before birds were created.
Genesis 1:24-27 Animals were created before man was created.
Genesis 2:7, 19 Man was created before animals were created.
After a few sessions of the above the smart ones will soon come to the
conclusion they are being brainwashed and some of the others may well become
republicans of course and grope little boys and 'Pages'

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.

...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.

I know I'm just feeding the troll, but...
And for those of you that look to the Bible for it's literary
qualities and moral lessons; I got a couple other stories I might like
to recommend for you. You might enjoy The Three Little Pigs. That's a
good one. It has a nice happy ending. Then there's Little Red Riding
Hood. Although it does have that one x-rated part where the
Big-Bad-Wolf actually eats the grandmother. Which I didn't care for,
by the way. And finally, I've always drawn a great deal of moral
comfort from Humpty Dumpty. The part I liked best: "...and all the
king's horses, and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty
together again." That's because there is no Humpty Dumpty, and there
is no god. None. Not one. Never was. No god.

Jesus heard that.

He heard that, too. He's on our side now, you know.

Including the patently gory parts, like Judas Iscariot's suicide in
Acts 1:18? I'll throw SUCH a fit if that passage isn't included in
this enlightened plan for our youngsters' edification. Didn't that bit
of inspiration add a memorable flavor to the second Silence of the
Lambs installment? Kids are sleighted if they don't know where their
favorite snuff films came from.
