Also, I’m sure teachers will have their jobs in jeopardy (and knowing the wingers, probably getting death threats too) the minute some little Eichmann in one of their classes feel that their beliefs are being mocked or are under attack and takes to the 'net to whine about it, or has their parents do the whining for them…
Well, it has the word skeptic right in there. The type of xtians that want to be able to inflict xtian madrassas on everyone have done a lot to make the word skeptic a bad thing. (I remember one rather strident xtian asking me for evidence of something I told him and I sent him the link to the relevant part of the SAB site and his response: “of course, it’s from a skeptic. I’m not bothering with that site!”)
Also - I had no idea they had printed copies, and I’ve been telling people to use that site for years.
TIL. Sure enough, the link to Amazon for the printed copy is in the bottom right, and it never even occurred to me that there might be a printed copy of this.
Yeah. They make bibles for good folks stuck being forced to teach it.
It’s pretty good at making non-believers.

That’s where the teacher uses the skeptics guide to the king James Bible not as a way to profess but as a way to facilitate conversation.
The teacher doesn’t have to challenge anything. The skeptics Bible just lays the references to other parts of the Bible out bare.
Ask the class “how many sons did God have? What does the Bible tell us. Talk with your neighbor about what you think based on what the Bible says”
The Bible has several answers to this. So, they arguements come from the students understanding of scripture, not the teacher teaching it.
