36. Actually, If teaching the bible, would mean a correct interpretation
and no the RW propaganda, then I would say "Yes". The RW talks about Christ but has no idea who he is.

I transferred to a local (good college for medical reasons, close to home). It turned out to be a Methodist (pretty sure UMC) college. They had a comparative religion class (had to take 3 Religion and/or Philosophy classes). I had taken an intro to logic at a PSU satellite from a Brown University graduate professor (she had no clue about an undergrad, intro class), so, religion was more appalling.

The first class was OT, took the easy prof., who had a heart attack and got the seminary prof, what a beotch. The non-western religion class was awesome. I took it thru the summer (12 wks. into 4), it was enlightening. I can came away with, we basically believe in the same thing (one with the universe).

I think that if the class was taught objectively, it would be a great awakening to all. I loved the the class, even though I learned a new religion every other day. It would eliminate the religious fighting over whose God is the RIGHT ONE!

Because, when sorted out, it was all the same bottom line, with a different means to the end. This would break down stereotypes and foster a greater working together for the greater good. Of course, those Holier than thou RW's would never approve, because they are so special and above reproach, you know "They are the chosen ones", cough, cough.
