You know it..
I took a course in HS "The Bible as literature". You would not believe the outrage when the christian bible was compared to Norse , Greek and Roman mythology, (Very similar) and when looking at the various translations in English to show differences in understandings of common words.

That's a shame that more people don't understand that's exactly what it is. Mythology.
They can offer them fine, they can offer any extra curricular load of old shit they want to, the problem comes when they start mandating attendance as part of the actual curriculum and making educational qualifications reliant upon participation.

Posted by CliffordCookIf the Christian Bible is such a great book, how come most Christians can’t bring themselves to read it all the way through even once?
Posted by CliffordCookIf Christians really believe in a god that is all powerful and will provide for all their needs, why do they keep on demanding taxpayer support for their struggling religious schools?
Posted by CliffordCookI groaned when I saw this Christian Nationalist Christmas meme posted by one of Donald Trump's supporters in Iowa. Then, I smiled when I saw how many of his Facebook friends had reposted it.
