Teacher Fired: Said Bible Is Not Literal

Actually I was taught Norse myths, Greek and Roman - and Christian (religion, because it's still practised today) on the basis that - as Cloud says - it helps with an understanding of literature.

I taught myself the basics of the Egyptian pantheon before I went there because I knew it would make my trip more interesting - as there aren't any major works available in hieroglypics so I hadn't come across those stories before.

RK I do understand where you're coming from - but can't you see that your strident condemnation doesn't help advance the cause of logical atheism? I'm not suggesting for a second that you're murderous. but you can be as confrontational in your own beliefs as some fundamentalists.
