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.

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?
