I just personally feel strongly that there shouldn't be religion brought into education...and having to sit there and listen to her talk about all this got me really upset.
Lots of great literary work has ties to Christianity and other religions. Fyodor Dostoevsky was Christian, he tied his beliefs into his writing. Why do you have a problem with talking about the relationship between his book and Christianity when you don't seem to have a problem reading a book with Christian ties? Where's the harm in discussing it, provided she isn't preaching it to you? It's just knowledge. Since it seems you aren't Christian, why not consider the bible just as literature? In fact, most English (HS and College) books I've seen usually contain parts of the bible. I guess I can't see how this is harmful or bad in any way.fffffffff
