Instead of bringing in the ungodly and cruelty promoting bible to public school kids, they should introduce them to Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason. That will help them realize The Supreme Intelligence/God never commanded the Jews to commit genocide and that God does not burn people in hell, among many other important facts. Many of the kids would take to heart Thomas Paine's statement "I detest everything that is cruel" and realize you cannot accept any of the Abrahamic "revealed" religions if you detest cruelty.

Best and most heartening remark I've heard ANYWHERE in a long time, Bob. Thank you.
