[QUOTE="Jimmy Dick, post: 7841811, member: 6994416"] I have to deal with some of this crap when I teach American History and World Regional Geography. We have a local 4-year college that is definitely a religious college. They refuse to teach evolution and get a tad upset when their views are shown to be wrong. In the Geography course I cover the Middle East, so I explain to the students how the majority of the people in the world understand that all Jews, Christians, and Muslims worship the same god. I then tell them their various religious leaders may deny that, but those leaders are in the minority. The reason I do this is to show students that there are other opinions in the world. Most of the people in this world who make important decisions on a national level know this. If the students wish to understand the complex relationships in the Middle East of today, they have to know the history of the region and how the peoples living there see each other. As for the various religious leaders who disagree, they are entitled to their opinion, but the students have to understand how the rest of the world sees these religions and why they have the views they do. Those leaders tend to have rabid followings and a very narrow interpretation of the Bible which is almost always at odds with the majority of Christians in the world. [/QUOTE]
