Senate Passes Bill To Teach Bible In Ky. Schools

[ReformedDave]

No matter what side one comes down on this is an ignorant remark ""What this bill provides for is a social studies course. It's education, it's not indoctrination," Bowen said.". Like 'education' is not indoctrination?!

I hope they wouldn't offer this course until high school, and it should only teach the basics and not the teacher's interpretatation of the basics. I would have loved to have taken this in school.

The basics... now thats a can of worms. So what do you refer to as the basics?

The things that all of Christianity agree upon- like Christ's death, burial, resurrection. You must have have faith in Jesus, etc. When teaching things like baptism, speaking in tongues, living holy, etc. , they can present the scriptures that talk about these things and then show what the different denominations believe and why they believe it without favoring one interpretation over another.

I think the most important thing is teaching Jesus, getting that seed planted. Once that seed is firmly planted he will take care of it from there.
