Do You think they should be able to force kids to take Bible classes?

er well the way i see it..if the parents or whomever are paying for them to go to that school in the first place...then they are gonna pay for their kids to take those types of classes.. If they dont like bible classes being taught...then they can always go to a public school where they arnt taught.

I think iot depends on the kind of person you are as to whether you would draw away frmo god from having a bible class or not.For some people it woiuld be awesome..and for others they might get tired of it day after day.

It depends on how the Bible class is taught. If it's very open minded and different veiws and interpretations are accepted, it should be alright. If it's the kind where the kids are told, "this is what this means and don't you dare question me!" then yeah, it's gonna have harmful effects on some people's faith.

Well...if it's a Christian private school, shouldn't that be expected?

Yeah...why shouldn't it be?

It's a private school for Christians. It's specifically for Christians.

Dude....

are you talking about a person in general or a specific person?

Well, I think the idea itself sounds great, but I'm not sure how well it'd work. It's kinda like going to a church. Some, you disagree with so much that you just wish you could leave, so it might force some kids to go to a different school, or just a public school. But, maybe it would be good for some people to start their day learning about God. I know I could use that...

WHY, exactly, would you send a non-Christian to a Christian private school? That makes no sense. Send them to another private school with just as high a level of education where that class isn't required. It's as simple as that.

I think that if it's a Christian private school, and the child has been raised in a Christ-loving home, Bible classes might be tedious but they aren't necessarily harmful to faith. I live with a girl that goes to a Christian private school and she doesn't really mind her Bible class. It's just another class to do homework for. lol
