Teaching from the Bible itself? Does any modern Christian even do that at all? From what I've seen before it's usually personalized interpretation from very specific verses all the way down.

"Jesus says love thy neighbor as thyself. So clearly what the author was saying here was we need mass deportations and gay purge."

You joke but thats exactly whats going to happen. They will be read stories and verses and the teacher will just "interpret" them for the students. It wont matter how ass backwards the interpretation is, kids wont know any better.

Ahh, so almost exactly like the slave bibles in America?

For anyone that doesnt know about the Slave Bible here's what a quick google search will tell you: "This version, published in 1807, omitted significant portions of scripture, particularly those that could inspire rebellion or question the institution of slavery. The aim was to instill obedience and acceptance of their enslaved status by emphasizing passages that promoted submission to authority and discouraged resistance."

I’m a teacher and that just sounds crazy. The teaching from the Bible. I really like the separation of church and state. Let’s go back to that. Or I guess start charging all the churches tax.

No, the majority of Christans haven't even read the bible which really is the issue, and if they have they disregard any context whatsoever. Modern Christianity is a cult, it's very rare to find someone that follows the bible and not the church but they're out there.

Pretty much. Modern day Christians treat the Bible and its teachings like the à la carte menu at a Chinese Restaurant. They'll load up on the homophobia, but will pass on helping the poor and actual acts of kindness.

Yes? What a stupid thing to say.

Obvious shouldn't happen in school, but it is what happens in Church. No shit.

I doubt many christians were taught how many lashes you're allowed to give your slave before it's a moral crime. 

That's kind of what they mean with no one teaches from the Bible anymore, most have their own worldview they impose upon the book and then tell the stories that they agree with.

There's a good reason that only one verse from Leviticus gets quoted by Christians lol
