Studying the bible is what started me on the path to atheism.
1 Take care not to practice your righteousness in the sight of people, to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
2 So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, so that they will be praised by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your charitable giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
—Matthew 6:1–4
I like to quote Matthew 6:5-6 to them too.
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
keeps getting better the further you read:
14 For if you forgive other people for their offenses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive other people, then your Father will not forgive your offenses.
Christian school expelled girl after rainbow birthday photo Such a fabulous example of Christian forgiveness!
That’s not Republican Jesus!
They probably meant the true bible, “C Programming Language” by Kernigan & Ritchie. Good to teach kids about software.
Old testament, or ANSI C?
K&R is Old Testament and New Testament is “The C++ Programming Language”, by Bjarne Stroustrup.

Is he specifying how to teach the Bible? Because as a “here’s some crazy shit people believe” approach could be interesting.
I’ve been forced to it young and I think it only built up my critical thinking and rejected religion altogether. Same with my siblings.
“If people’s clothes are made of two different materials, you kill them with rocks, kids!”
unless they’re priests – mixed fabrics were only for the elite, not the peons
“The Bible is an indispensable historical and cultural touchstone,” Walters said in a statement. “Without basic knowledge of it, Oklahoma students are unable to properly contextualize the foundation of our nation, which is why Oklahoma educational standards provide for its instruction.”
I guess that’s true. It illustrates how forcing citizens into a government mandated religion contributed to fighting for independence from British rule.
What’s next? Mandating black students tend the school grounds during recess to teach them about the Civil War?
