Michael Reiss and John White: Atheism needs to be studied in sch. Those who determine the curricula that are taught in state schools insist on knowledge of all sorts of particular facts and approaches to understanding in different subjects.
But they do not require any awareness of this revolution in belief, arguably the most dramatic since the origin of Islam. True, the non-statutory RE curriculum now allows for teaching about humanism, but – unlike Christianity and other major world faiths – leaves it optional, and on a par with Zoroastrianism. Where else might you expect to find an informed and systematic introduction to and examination of atheism and agnosticism? In the science curriculum? In history? English? Citizenship? However, before we decide where to teach about atheism and agnosticism – and it might be that the issue is addressed in a number of subjects, rather as such cross-curricular issues as climate change and ethics are – we first need agreement that students should learn about them. What kinds of learning might be required? Rape in the Bible. Rape In The Bible Rape is one of the most heinous crimes imaginable.
Yet few people know that the Bible often condones and even approves of rape. How anyone can get their moral guidance from a book that allows rape escapes me. Perhaps they have been lied to about the Bible and carefully detoured around all the nasty stuff in the Bible. So grab your Bibles and follow along as I show you all the nasty rapes that your priests and preachers don't want to tell you about. Note that in many places in the Bible there are references to "taking a wife". 1) Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24 NLT) So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at the rock of Rimmon. Obviously these women were repeatedly raped. 2) Murder, rape and pillage of the Midianites (Numbers 31:7-18 NLT) An Atheist View. On several sites I am well known as an atheist writer though I write stories and articles about a wide variety of topics.
I write how-to articles about fish care, floral design, cooking, and sex. I write editorials and memoirs. I also write fiction, poetry, and erotica. You’ll see where this becomes relevant soon, I promise. I have been repeatedly messaged and occasionally emailed by readers for (what seems to me) a very odd reason. In my fiction, poetry, and erotica I sometimes use the words God, Jesus, demon, devil, Jihad, soul, spirit, ghost or other words which refer to supernatural concepts either as literary devices or in dialog. To me, the use of words relating to belief and supernatural concepts is just part of fiction writing and their use falls under the umbrella of poetic license. Our culture is saturated with supernatural words and references, to cut them out completely would affect the natural flow or feeling of normal conversational English.
