His name was also one of the key words under "important people to remember" at the end of the chapter. It was a public high school. Does that bother you?
I thought more atheists believed Jesus was a real man, just not who He said He was.
Hitler was undoubtedly also an important person to remember, just like Jesus. What is more, hitler deserves it more because he can be shown to have actually done the things he is known for. Does that bother you?
The point I was making is that a person whom many believe is completely fictional is in a public high school text book. I didn't know if that made some of you angry.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
