"The question is, would you want your child taught that 1+1=3 because God said so?"

No, the real question is why do so many fools attribute to God things that he has not said? - Your question is a Strawman.

It is not a strawman. It is an analogy asking the question of whether the person being addressed has such blind faith that he/she would want their children being taught something patently incorrect.

But I will say I was a little quick off the draw. I should have said ..1+1=3 because an interpretation of the Bible said so.

No one "knows" what God said, although many (myself included) believe the Bible is His Word -- just highly allegorical in many places.

I stand adjusted.
