Nope! The bible is STILL the number one most read book of all time. Consider that it is 2000 years old, and there are currently 2 billion Christians worldwide (one in three people!) as well as (historically) an even higher percentage in previous centuries.Originally posted by tieki
That's the whole idea, though, to have ready widely - and the bible is about the most widely read book in the world (behind LOTR, i must admit, rather happily) ...

Actually, the most read book in the world is Romance of the Three Kingdoms By Luo Guanzhong. Every Chinese school kid had to read it, and most Chinese people living overseas have read it.[/B]
lol by saying its not an important part of life then stating that it gives people a 'direction' in life totally contradicts your first comment....Originally posted by jm1234567890
After all, religion is not an important part of life. It only exists because some people cannot find a direction in life.
This is true, think about it.
eh? speak english...Originally posted by jm1234567890
no, i said it exist because if that. it doesn't/shouldn't be taught.

people can and have lived a life in the physical world without needing to understand volumes. By this i mean they don't need to learn how to intergrate and rotate very basic shapes and curves to understand the concept of an object having a volume.
I don't understand, If you cannot deny the presence of a spiritual world how can you not accept its existence? Anyway there are other people who do believe in its existence, such as john Donne, and the purpose of it being in the syllabus is to show how language is used to reflect this.
