david c. porter (read NTTN) @davidcporter.net · 19/08/2026and of course, you don't really need to know anything about the bible to understand american history and politics; you just need a functional model of religion in general as a social phenomenon. the details only matter if you think there's something actually sacred in them – guess what, there isn't! 140
david c. porter (read NTTN) @davidcporter.net · 19/08/2026it's not like knowing the bible is necessary for *producing* worthwhile literature, any more than knowing the quran is, only for interpreting historical texts. such interpretation usually requires specialized knowledge beyond the scope of gen ed; seems fine to put biblical fluency in this category 140
david c. porter (read NTTN) @davidcporter.net · 19/08/2026fwiw i do find the overall argument here a bit specious. you have to know the bible to understand the western canon, but this is bc it used to be everyone knew the bible front to back – reintroducing it into curriculum will just produce more literature which presumes this. is that really desirable? 180
