In reply to the discussion: OK says Bible to be taught in public schools. Which parts will they teach? I'll start: [View all]Irish_Dem
(81,897 posts)12. I don't understand this bible lesson.
I never studied the bible in Catholic school. (Grades 1-5)
Looks like I missed out.
So a woman is given fine jewelry made of gold and silver by a man.
Ok I got that.
Then she turns into a prostitute and lures the johns in with
the flashy jewelry given to her by another man?
Or she makes craven images with the gold and silver and then
has sex with these gold and silver statues?
WTH?
The nuns were so right to just give us our little catechisms.

They're going to have a hell of a time teaching all of this to second graders.

They came from other tribes. Over there. Each answer leads to another question, doesn't it?

So long as it's the Old Testament. None of this "woke" New Testament stuff.
