Anyone else feel how Christian biased history taught at school is?

[Anomalocaris]

It feels like I lose an IQ point every time you type something or I see that bastardized version of Pascals Wager in your sig as if you fucking scare Atheists with your eternal torture fantasy.

Still, it would be billions of years before your IQ fall a tenth of the way to his.

1) it is not slander, but the inconvenient truth. And you wouldn't want teachers to lie to their pupils, would you?
2) history as a subject should cover what happened. Failure to do so is falsification of history. Fortunately the bible, God, and JC are fairy tales. Not history. So they shouldn't be covered in history class in the first place. What Xtians did, though, in the name of Xtianity, IS history, of course. So that should be covered in history class.

It's funny how if you tell a Christian the history of their religion, they will say how you are slandering their religion and how history isn't important.

But they will be quick to name big names like Hitler and Stalin because they were atheists... Hypocrites..

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

In [Hitler's] book Mein Kampf and in public speeches he often made statements which affirmed a belief in Christianity. Prior to World War II Hitler had promoted a "positive Christianity" purged of Judaism and instilled with Nazi philosophy. According to the controversial collection of transcripts edited by Martin Bormann, titled Hitler's Table Talk, as well as the testimony of some intimates, Hitler had privately negative views of Christianity. Others reported he was a committed believer.

So Hitler was just like so many modern Christians today. They affirm their belief in Xtianity for public show and social acceptance, but in private, they have myriad negative views on it. This is because deep down inside their empty souls, they loathe to admit to themselves that it makes absolutely no sense. Xtianity creates duality and greater inner conflict. It always places salvation into the unattainable and ever out of reach future and never in the NOW. History SHOULD be teaching about the Inquisition, witch hunts, countless Catholic/Protestants wars, Crusades, Pagan persecution in early Christianity, the mass genocide of various Amerindians in Central and South America by Christian Conquistadors, the killing off of the Native Americans in the U.S. by W.A.S.P.'s and it's close similarities to Islam. The newest textbooks should also teach the most recent bright spot in Roman Catholicism... Priest pedophilia. Also, Catholic schools should just altogether be banned!

Etymology

The Old Norse feminine noun víking refers to an expedition overseas. It occurs in Viking Age runic inscriptions and in later medieval writings in set expressions such as the phrasal verb fara í víking "to go on an expedition". In later texts such as the Icelandic sagas, the phrase "to go viking" implies participation in raiding activity or piracy, and not simply seaborne missions of trade and commerce. The related Old Norse masculine noun víkingr appears in Viking Age skaldic poetry and on several rune stones found in Scandinavia, where it refers to a seaman or warrior who takes part in an expedition overseas.[4]

I am of the opinion that people of the 20th and 21st Century have forgotten how easy it would be to travel vast distances by water and just how close Scandinavia and Europe and the British isles really are.
