Georgia to Kansas: "We will see your Creationism class and raise you a bible study program in our publicly funded schools."

A bill that allows public high schools to offer classes on the Bible sped through the Georgia House today, passing overwhelmingly with no debate.

The legislation, which passed 151-to-7, would allow high schools to form elective courses on the history and literature of the Old Testament and New Testament eras. The classes would focus on the law, morals, values and culture of the eras.

This may surprise some of my more frequent visitors but I actually have no problem with this. I have no problem with this as long as there are other classes offered that teach the history of Judaism, a class that deals with the cultural impact of Hinduism, a class that discusses how Buddhism changed the face of China, and many other elective courses that would give these students a rich and comprehensive history of world religions and their adherents.

I will always support education, as long as the education is not designed to promote somebody's religious or political agenda.
