Bible Bill in GA Senate
A group of Democrat Georgia Senators this past week introduced a bill to create an elective high school class to teach the Bible.
The Language of the bill states that it would be a state funded academic course covering the Bible's influence on art, literature and music.
Republicans in the Georgia Senate are completely opposed to it...they feel the democrats are pandering...Are they? I always thought the Republican voter base was composed of conservative religious voters. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Would the Bible be a good source to teach kids about philosophy, morals and literature? Do you feel differently, should the Bible have no place in the Public school even as a source for literature?
Feel free to post with your opinion.

Personal opinion finds that this is a wonderful elective option. I find it a very non-threatening and non-persuasive way of offering a subject to be taught, without the force of having to take it if you do not want to choose this elective. A huge portion of the United States still believes in the Biblical foundations of the world and the Biblical foundations on which our country was founded. If Democrats, Republicans or other political leaders do not wish to allow their children to take classes such as these, or if parents do not wish to allow their children to take classes with a Biblical basis, then they would not be forced to choose this elective. I feel this elective is a good option to offer parents and children of every belief. You either believe in God and Jesus or you don't. This option of elective allows the option to study the Bible and the Origin of History, or the option to avoid all Biblical basis for life. God has offered free choice to all, and for some, at a large price, however, choice is something that we hold in our grasp.

this is a great idea the Bible used to be a standard textbook when schooling began

I can see a class-action lawsuit brought against the State of Georgia by the atheists and Muslims...oh, brought to you by the ACLU!
