I will agree that it would be a nice elective if done properly. I enjoy mythological stories as much as the next guy, and learning about the cultures and origins of biblical stories makes a lot of the things in the bible easier to understand. Like the aforementioned resentment towards sex. It's just that I know it won't be that way. As much as they hate that the government is taking religion out of schools, they certainly won't stand for it being ut in only under the condition that it's treated like any other set of mythologies. Even if you put the bible on a shelf beside the texts of all other active religions, christians won't be happy unless it's made clear that the bible is the super special source of Truth.
