    Also, I’m sure teachers will have their jobs in jeopardy (and knowing the wingers, probably getting death threats too) the minute some little Eichmann in one of their classes feel that their beliefs are being mocked or are under attack and takes to the 'net to whine about it, or has their parents do the whining for them…

      That’s where the teacher uses the skeptics guide to the king James Bible not as a way to profess but as a way to facilitate conversation.

      The teacher doesn’t have to challenge anything. The skeptics Bible just lays the references to other parts of the Bible out bare.

      Ask the class “how many sons did God have? What does the Bible tell us. Talk with your neighbor about what you think based on what the Bible says”

      The Bible has several answers to this. So, they arguements come from the students understanding of scripture, not the teacher teaching it.

        Yep, I get all that. I’m just saying once some no-neck gets the idea that little Johnny or little Susie might be getting some instruction that involves anything other than just reaffirming what mommy and daddy think - even if that only involves presenting all the information and letting Johnny and Susie make some inferences - they are gonna get all riled up.
