The chairman of Boston University's religion department offers this proposal: Public high schools should require one course in the Bible for all their students and another in world religions
He cites surveys showing that most Americans can't even name one of the four biblical gospels and that many high school students think that Sodom and Gomorrah were a married couple.

It's strange to go the Dead Sea and see these two places on the road signs.

Yes, it does apply to a variety of acts, but when it is used in public discourse, it is generally applied to two men.

I've gotten some interesting reactions here when I've told people that most state laws against sodomy include oral sex. Men start to sound like Emily Litella...."Never mind......" ;-D

"Apparently the failure of the nation's schools also applies to Sunday School."
Absolutely!
Today it's Rick Warren style - numbers driven and ENTERTAINMENT driven to lure in the secular entertainment craved. Churches really believe that if they don't offend anyone, offer a good time - they'll sneak em into heaven - with or without their knowledge.
To touch a subject like sodomy could be offensive, in these kinds of "churches", hence a no no. So kids won't be taught what happened there. Besides, those into sodomy might get offended and feel unloved when told it is wrong.
What "churches" are doing is conforming to the weaknesses of THIS world to get their attention - constant need for entertainment. The problem is, IF they get their attention, the church doesn't change them - the ONLY transformation happening is the "church" lowering its standards and conforming to the politically correct world all in the name of Christ.
It's amazingly stupid - not just the method but the LACK of a Biblical message and standards. It's easy to look back on Sodom and Gomorrah and see what happened there - the same thing is happening to "churches". That's another story "churches" won't want to teach because they are forming their own Sodom and Gomorrah churches.
Yeah, the road to hell is typically filled with good intentions.

"I'm sorry that you don't have the power to enforce your "suggestions". Since you don't like my posts, skip over them. I've been here for quite awhile and will continue to be."
I've been here allot longer than you ... .
It matter not to me whether you take my "suggestions" to heart or not - it's your choice.
No, I don't like your sarcastic posts. I want nothing to do with someone like you. So, don't respond to me. Respond to others like yourself ... of course you'd be very popular at DU! I really believe that would be your best bet for acceptance.
