I agree that it is indeed vivid and it's prose is not in question but I disagree with it being forced upon you as a subject at school and that an opposing view on a particular passage was discouraged which is something I cannot agree with. Religion should always be about choice and it is something that I choose not to follow. My parents were not religious whatsoever yet I was brought up to be a good person without them using the bible for guidance.

I will never question someones religious beliefs at all but the bible was as much a historical writing and all historical books have been called into question but the bible seems untouchable for many many people including annoying self righteous school teachers who would then turn around and whack someone across the kuckles for not paying attention. Hhmm.
