http://www.texasfreethoughtconvention.com Friends,
Hello from Texas! I made a video today about the new Bible classes in Texas public high schools. I used a large boarded-up church as my background. Cost: Priceless.

Essentially I'm challenging Atheist and/or state-church separation minded public high school students to take those Bible classes, and bring up our best critiques of the Bible. When they receive no clear or reasonable explanations, when they receive no explanations that don't leave the Bible looking like a piece of garbage, I'm challenging them to say so. To declare out loud that the Bible is a piece of garbage, and a class on such a book is an utter mistake. (They should use respect, of course.)
Then I'm challenging them to make a video about it for Youtube. If they tell me about their video, I'll review it along with others like it, and make another video about those videos. I wish I had something tangible to give away for participation, but everyone who takes part will probably feel they've accomplished something; that being increased communication among the Atheist community about this fairly new state/church issue, and perhaps the enlightenment of a few teachers.
Please let me know your comments on this idea. I'll probably talk this up at the upcoming Texas Freethought Convention: www.texasfreethoughtconvention.com I think this is a good idea, but I need to hear feedback. :o) Thanks!
