Hi Jennifer,
If you will read Mary's post, you will find that she wrote, "I for one think the Bible ought to be taught in school as a subject -- for anyone that wants to study it."
In other words, it would be an Elective Course. So, your children could NOT elect to take the course -- or YOU could forbid them from taking the course. When I was in school at Sheffield, typing was an elective course. I took it -- and today I am happy about that decision.
Some children ELECTING to take a course in the Bible -- may, just as well, in later years appreciate the fact that it was offered. How can you complain about a course on the Bible being ELECTIVE? Or is it that you want to forbid ANYONE from studying the Bible. If you will be honest, I believe we would find that is your real goal; not just protecting children from Elective Courses in school.
Jennifer, if you want to be an atheist and deny God; that is your choice. God bless you. However, why would you deny others the right to study the Bible, as an Elective, if that is their choice?
Do you hate God so much -- that you want to forbid everyone from worshiping Him or reading His book?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
