[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Of course, if they only start teaching that sort of thing in college, it's a little late. If someone's going to a Catholic university, they probably went to Catholic grade and high schools. They're already indoctrinated. They nedd to be taught the [i]real[/i] history when they're younger. By the time I got to college, I had already "seen the light" of non-Catholicism on my own, but I took a history class and learned that Judaism started out polytheistic. In thirteen years of Catholic education, I had never been led to believe anything but that it was monotheistic all the way down from Abraham, or Noah, or Adam, or wherever you want to draw the line between fable and history. To find out that monotheism in Judaism didn't come about until around the time of [i]Solomon[/i]... that was a bit of an eye-opener. I had figured previously that the religion I'd been taught was wrong, but it was what the teachers believed, so who could blame them? But now I know that even the stuff they presented as "fact" rather than "belief" was still wrong. Anyway, I forget what point I was leading up to, so just take that anecdote at face value...
