What is worth teaching that's in "the" bible anyway? And which version(s) are acceptable?
Sex-ed is now just Ezekiel 23:20 "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." (NIV)
Technically their beloved KJV is a bit less graphic, "For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses." But that gets funny in a different way since "asses" as a more common use these days.
its funny because reading this passage in florida would probably get you arrested
If you just look at what Jesus says in the King James Bible, 90% of it is good life advice. I don't want it taught in schools but I think it's still worth reading. I like to quote it in good natured arguments with my Christian friends.
The Jefferson Bible could be taught and I would be fine with that. Jesus actually words were pretty kind and good.
Bob Marleys words were also kind and good. Can we teach those too?
We're open to kind and good words from anyone. The issue is always the other words.
