Jeez, human beings absolutely amaze me. The mere mention of GOD in anything, and you are ready to hang somebody. This will be offered as an elective class. Therefore, if you don't want to take it, don't take it. These very same classes are being offered at the college level, along with other world religions, and have been for years. If you don't want to take them, don't take them. It really is that simple folks. Whether you realize it or not, there are still people who want to go into ministry as a career and this may be something to help start them on that path. God forbid we do anything to help create another productive taxpaying memeber of society. I think this is a great idea and finding one teacher to teach this class would do a lot less damage to the budget than all the worthless slugs of society living off the government.
