An Interesting Approach

In this post, blogger pzmyers shows us the letter he sent to some religious school dean. It’s quite entertaining. An excerpt: (keep in mind the guy writing the letter is an atheist)
Dear Butch, Although I rejoice at the news that the Ector County Independent School District is adding bible classes, I’m concerned that you’re considering using the National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools curriculum. It’s my understanding that it is centered around the 1987 edition of the King James Version. That’s unacceptable. The 1987 Edition is not the word of God. Indeed, it is no better than a forgery. No less than 14 of the books found in the original 1611 Edition are missing from the 1987 version. No matter how hard you look, you won’t find the Prayer of Manasseh or the First and Second Book of Esdras, let alone, The Idol Bel and the Dragon. The introduction of such a bowlderized text to children is unforgivable. Souls are gitmo-ized in hell for sins much less grievous than that. It’s time we brought our Christian values back into the schoolhouse. Unfortunately, the NCBCPS curriculum does the opposite of that. It’s much more dangerous than secularism; it’s Episcopalian. Heterosexually yours, Gen. JC Christian, patriot
