I think 1-12 grade could be taught out of the book of Job. I truly do. I am a doctor of metaphysics and feel as if it is my duty to let the world know of the invisible things of life. i.e the spirit. But, God is great and it was Him who created all that is, and he did it with His powers. Our science is only products of His greatness. I want many to read here some excerpts from Job. It is great, smart, and right on the dime, and was more than 4000 years ahead of our scienctific age.

I think 1-12 grade could be taught out of the book of Job. I think that many others would disagree.
I truly do.
I don't doubt that

How does one become a doctor of metaphysics? Since you are an expert, why don't you provide some shred of evidence that the things of the spirit are real? Meanwhile, why don't you let the experts in education set the curriculum
But, God is great and it was Him who created all that is, and he did it with His powers.
That is an opinion. That is a religion. That is faith. That should not be taught in public schools.
Our science is only products of His greatness.
Science has usually been the product of skeptics working against the precepts of people like you who claim spiritual insight.
I want many to read here some excerpts from Job.
Go ahead. You won't mind if I don't listen. I've read it before. I know how it ends

No it is not.
I also think the book of Job should be taught to all children, just not in public school. If taught to children, maybe half of them would realize, as I did, that it shows just what a cruel and warped concept of a god they are worshipping and what in idiot Job was for staying faithful to this "benevolent" monster.
So.....you want us to spend 12 years studying a single book of the Bible? doctor of metaphysics? From where for God's sake?
The Book of Job? So, for grades 1-12 you tell kids to keep believing in God regardless of all the horrible, horrible things that happen to them because he's just proving a point to Satan and allowing you to suffer, but he'll reward you in the end? My guess is a lot of kids would stop believing the minute they graduated and things didn't turn around for them.
Libkitten, kids are already taught that God, though all-powerful, has no choice but to send his son down to Earth to "pay" for man's sins, instead of God just snapping his fingers, and do those kids realize what's going on?
Sigh, I guess not. I guess I'm one of the few that went through my Christian phase where everyone told me I had to believe through my suffering and I'd be rewarded, and then I realized the reward wasn't coming and went, "Hey. This sucks."
Libkitten, you're not alone; many of us were told similar things. However, now that you are enlightened, while all the theists are standing around wondering "WTF!?", you can happily carry on and make yourself happy. Good luck.
All you're gonna teach from the book of Job is that life is unfair, and we silly little humans don't get to bitch because it's God's will.

This must be a troll - doctor of metaphysics, my *** (pink behind)! http://www.pulc.com/Programs/metaphysics_d.htm to print out your own diploma. Then we can all let the world know of the invisible things of life ;-)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
