What The Fuck, Texas

This year, it will be mandatory that public schools include The Bible in their curriculum. This is absolute nonsense, why don’t we teach about the alternative view that the Earth is flat at the same time? It’s not as if you’ve traveled around the world yourself; how could you contradict me?

  2. Give humanity the time it needs to live this cultural crisis. For some, religion and tradition are everything so they will do whatever they can do to avoid changes. At this time, I believe we are facing huge changes regarding religious and spiritual beliefs. And, well, these changes could bring the next generations to an even more nihilist world of thoughts, which it could mean people would lose patriotism, and faith in pretty much everything. At least, at this time, we are asking ourselves “Where’s the beef?”. But, it could become, too simply, “Who cares? I don’t give a shit on how and where we get the beef. There is no point trying, so I might as well have fun and do nothing that can contribute to anything.” …

    I guess what I’m getting at, is that humanity must work in balance. We need the variety of beliefs in order to live in a functional world, just like we need different races, different point of views, different voices, different sexual attractions (because we’re not all attracted to supermodels), etc.

    I don’t think that forcing the bible in the curriculum is a good thing, but in some way, maybe it is. Let’s not forget what catholic schools have done in the past: they built more and more schools (which actually it was all in competitive behavior) and they let us learn faster and “advance” society to a new and improved intelligent way of life (where easier worldwide communication and freedom of speech lead us to the present cultural crisis).

    Plus, not everybody believed at once that the Earth is round, because adaptability varies from one person to another. Ofcourse though, physical and visible proof of the roundness of the Earth exists and made it easier to understand. For some reason, the bible is a lot harder to mythbust once and for all.

    I think I understand these things… but then again, it bothers me as well.

    Wait, what was the question again?

  3. Adding to my comment above:

    I also want to point out the obvious: religion has a certain power to give and maintain people’s sense of life.

    So, to make my opinion clear, it is not the bible that should fit inside the curriculum, but the beliefs of different cultures.

    In conclusion, I agree with Jolene.
