All kids must read the Bible, federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says.
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story...01,00.html
Quote:BIBLE classes should be compulsory so children have a fundamental understanding of Christianity on leaving school, Tony Abbott says.

"I think everyone should have some familiarity with the great texts that are at the core of our civilisation," said the Federal Opposition leader.

"That includes, most importantly, the Bible.

"I think it would be impossible to have a good general education without at least some serious familiarity with the Bible and with the teachings of Christianity.

"That doesn't mean that people have to be believers."

Well isn't that just peachy.
Best regards,
Leo van Miert
