    "Then it shouldn't be too hard to find real evidence."

    Show me the evidence that the course syllabus covers all religions as academic subjects and that the school administrators have controls in place so that favoring one religion over another will be policed.

    Why would a course on the Bible teach all religions in it? Answer the ing question boutons

    This semester — the second the class has been taught — 21 Odessa High students and 63 Permian students signed up for the course.
    Those poor students. Someone put a gun to their head and make them attend. Oh wait, it's an elective course.

    Again, it's an elective. What's the ing problem?

    Teaching Christianity as the One True Religion to the exclusion of all other religions isn't an academic, teaching that the Bible is historically, scientifically accurate isn't academic, it's bull . A tax-payer funded public school promoting Christianity violates separation of church and state.

    Teaching about Christianity and other religions, the development of religions and religious thought, comparing religions, etc, are legitimate academic subjects already taught in many universities, private and public.

    These ing fascist, self-righteous, retrogressive, kiss-my-butt-in-the-the-name-of-Christ "Christians" already have all the Churches and charter schools and Bible schools and Liberty and Oral Roberts universities, why do the insist on forcing their Christian propagandazing into public schools? The ing country is going nuts.
    Hey croutons, newsflash, every public university in the state has a religious studies program. If you're going to start picketing, you better get busy.

    And what's even funnier is that some of those ins utions are led by extremely liberal folks, not the kiss my ass Christians or whatever cute stereotype you want to apply.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoloy card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game UNO.

    "How about every other post from you?"

    how about a link where I want to wipe religion off the planet, as your bull says? put up or STFU with your bull .
    Why then go to such measures as posting every vile, perverted extreme article that you find on Christianity as a means of trying to bash Christianity in general???

    How many times must we tell you that not everyone who professes to be a Christian is a true Christian. How many times must I explain that a Christian is known by his 'fruits' - acts of compassion, kindness, patience, love, generosity, and benevolence. You, dan, and the mookie crowd really try my patience but no matter what I say this is always a constant. YOU ALL constantly wish to ignore the good and focus on the extremes. Such selectivity is not objective and shows your true colors. No need to deny what is crystal clear. You hate Christianity. Admit it and be honest about it instead of pretending your perspectives aren't hate-driven drivel. Man up.

    You dare call me out with your false premises! My observation stands. - Implicitly supported by every poisonous bitter thread you start.

    Could it be that not every parent qualifies him/herself as a History Teacher or a Literature buff? For that matter few Christians have studied the Bible from a historical sense, or the literary sense that people keep clamoring the Bible be taught in. Which is it?

    It's an elective people.

    There's nothing wrong with the idea of a Bible-only elective on the surface. Asking why a Bible course wouldn't also teach passages on the Torah and the Quran is like asking why a Texas History class wouldn't also teach Oklahoma and New Mexico history.

    The main problems are that finding high school teachers who can objectively teach the course without stepping over the line into PROMOTING The Bible as fact is difficult.

    Also, in this case it seems that the curriculum was chosen over superior Bible course options.

    Youre intelligent, but kind of new.

    Whenever you see Oh,Gee! and Peabody have any sort of dialouge, you could cut the sarcasm with a knife.

    Just a head's up.

    It really is... but that's why few Christians truly embrace or embody the ideals they were meant experience.

    True dedication is hard to find... regardless of the endeavor.

    total BS. religion is a special case, as indicated in the Cons ution. Teaching Christianity and the Bible for religious/spiritual purposes in public schools is different from state history classes for academic purposes.
