All it takes is one of those glitches, you got a lawsuit from either the pro or anti-religion side, and the whole thing comes crashing down.
As soon as you even mentioned any of the beliefs of, say, Islam or Shintoism in any but a condemnatory way, the good bibliatrous parents of Texas would throw wall-eyed fits. "Comparative religion" here in Snyder implies comparing Free-will and Southern Baptists.
I'd love to see a real comparative relgions course in our high schools The chances of finding teachers that would 1) teach it in an unbiased way and 2) avoid having their houses firebombed would be exceedingly slim, though.
Jar, do I remember correctly that you went to an Episcopal school?
