So, our little was-going-to-be-a-priest opposition leader, Tony Abbott, has lived up to expectations. It didn’t take him long before he started hawking his mythical wears in the role. He wants bible classes taught in schools, you see.

Opposition leader, Tony Abbott, thinks bible classes should be compulsory in Australian schools. Believe it or not, I am not completely against the idea. If it is taught comparatively, and such texts as the Qur’an, Śruti and Tanakh are read alongside it, and students are taught critical thinking / logic beforehand, I have no problems.

Is this Abbott’s intention though, or has he put Christianity on a pedestal? Well if the Herald Sun have quoted him accurately, then it is pedestal all the way…
