Therefore I encourage everyone to send separate personalised emails to her supporting secular ethics program. Please spread the message through social networks too.Ergun Coruhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599942073095772399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-20829547135442116002010-04-15T17:30:18.639+10:002010-04-15T17:30:18.639+10:00Certainly an understandable position Russell and o...Certainly an understandable position Russell and one I would support. The scripture study option has not actually kept pace with modern Christian understandings anyway, where the common logical understanding would fit comfortably in a secular study program. The only problem I do have is that you do take a harsh line by stating should and wrong, in the approach. Reason does dictate a logical and bipartisan approach be taken - this isn't and us versus them and the sooner sides agree on that the better the suggested approach will be accepted. Many schools of medicine and science shelved the us and them view years ago and simply removed noun and verb references to appease the masses. It works, and quite effectively so. It is not so much the scripture studies that concern me, it is more the engine behind the version being put forward -- this was all old and misdirected teaching in the 1930s -- it has a good layer of dust today.
