I think our Bible is currently in my office somewhere, though I can neither confirm nor deny that definitively.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129509609170344883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840695227917041221.post-91898490596858433532009-12-15T22:34:09.995-06:002009-12-15T22:34:09.995-06:00Latha - you'll find that if you take a Bible c...Latha - you'll find that if you take a Bible class at Concordia, you'll probably receive the most secular perspective of anywhere...not kidding.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070540909786755467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840695227917041221.post-9106487693292895712009-12-15T17:33:01.012-06:002009-12-15T17:33:01.012-06:00I don't know about your kids, but I'd love...I don't know about your kids, but I'd love to take a class on the Bible sometime. The older I get, the more I view it as fiction. I'd love to learn who is thought to have written what and why, and what was translated by whom and where and why. I would find that fascinating.Lathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17311280733863847243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840695227917041221.post-47556463118755701202009-12-14T17:27:47.880-06:002009-12-14T17:27:47.880-06:00I loved my world religions class in high school.

Learning the facts about all the major religions of the world was really the start of my journey out of Mormonism, and ironically, my journey out of religion altogether.<br /><br />Do you really have your bookshelf sorted by genre, or is that just a clever way of stating your opinion on the Bible? :)Mike Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182360977278780548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840695227917041221.post-62732715545219573892009-12-14T13:07:48.705-06:002009-12-14T13:07:48.705-06:00Exactly, if you're kids want to read the bible...Exactly, if you're kids want to read the bible when they're older, fine. I like how they have religious studies at schools here in the UK. Children learn about different religions through culture. It's like what Dawkins says about Christmas, it's a cultural celebration. Even though it does stem from religion. Christmas isn't very religious these days though, don't even get me started on the commercialization of the Christmas institution!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840695227917041221.post-47795644153236703052009-12-14T11:23:19.309-06:002009-12-14T11:23:19.309-06:00I studied some of the Bible in high school English...I studied some of the Bible in high school English class. We even studdied some of the hellfire and damnation sermons from the American Reformation period. I'd expect no less, as they did have influences on the human culture.Ray Haugehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048338815133918853noreply@blogger.com
