offering the Bible to study
That isn't what you want, or at least that isn't what you said you wanted until you were called out.
Teaching the Bible in a public school as anything more than historical literature is unacceptable.

I'm fine withe offering an optional class on the bible.
Is everyone in this thread fine with an optional class on the Quaran as well?

No it doesn't.

Sure. Teach ‘em both as Lit classes.

What are you afraid of? Someone might get saved?
Someone might actually become a better person?

It sure does. It's the understanding that one slowly moves from one postion to another with each getting progressively worse.
How can having the Bible in a classroom be described as a Slippery Slope when it's been in the classroom for ages up until recently?
Coming full circle would be the correct terminology.

You should have worried about that when governments decided to take over schools right?

Godfather is down for a "Yay" vote on the Quaran class.
Is this the second "Yay" vote?

I have no problem with it as long as it's an elective.
But I will add that I don't think the teachings of the Koran are consistent with Western thinking.

Nah. It's fine ... make it an optional or elective class. It's far better than some of the other crap they teach these days.

Well, that was long before my time but if you’re insinuating that we should privatize education, I would agree with you.
But that has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

We both know that allowing the Bible to be studied in school as an elective is not going to make America a Theocracy and we both know that was a giant leap on your part.

Tboy they already drown schoolchildren in socialist nonsense and participation medals which I’m sure many parents don’t want their children learning so what exactly is your point?

That's 2 Yay votes, can we throw in the Satanic Bible?
How about Dianetics by L Ron Hubbard?
The book of Mormon?

You are a liberal, or you are a Christian. One cannot be both.
One celebrates abortion, breaking the law (illegal immigration), homosexuality, genital mutilation, dishonesty (See Kavanaugh) and etc.
While Christianity teaches us not to judge, but at the same time to turn away from every one of the things I mentioned.
Don't even start on the giving to the poor BS. The churches have done a better job at feeding the needy than the government ever will. Which is why I would rather pay tithes and not taxes.

There were books on Satanism and witchcraft in my high school library nearly 40 years ago. I know because I checked many of them out myself.
I survived it and so would others.

Much like the two of the most important founding fathers - Jefferson and Madison - I am all for drawing a hardline between the government and religion. No need to worry which incremental step will slide to theocracy when you simply don’t allow any of it.
Also, as a Christian, I have no interest in the government gaining a foothold of control in my religion. For instance, who would choose the curriculum for this class? Are we okay if the government creates a curriculum which teaches that nothing in the Bible actually occurred and it showed only be viewed as folklore?
