| The Ghost of RubangB said: I'd support a class on creationism ONLY if it equally covered as many creation stories as possible within the semester and didn't say "Well Jesus is the truth, but.... there are all these other myths as well." They'd have to be equally represented. We're talking the great Coyote of many western American tribes, the Japanese story of Izanagi and Izanami, and everything else in between. Not just... the monotheistic religions. I want Zeus and Thor all up in that shit. Man, if somebody converted my (future) kids behind my back, I don't even know what I'd do. Luckily, a friend of mine already promised me he'd kill my kids for me so my brain wouldn't explode. |
Strangely enough back in the 70's my school did have a class on "other" religiions, but it was called mythology. But I suppose, depending on your point of view, a lot of this is mythology.
