S2: You said you knew the [[Bible]]. I teach a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_school Sunday school] class and every fall they give us a series of passages in the [[Old Testament]] to teach the kids. Normally there is very [[difficult]] passages in the Old Testament that are hard to put a [[positive]] spin on and create lots of uneasiness in the fourth graders. I just want to [[read]] one that was particularly this way..its in the section right after [[Adam and Eve]] default and just before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah Noah]. It is the [[connective]] material between the Adam and Eve lineage, then the Noah story. It is [[describing]] how [[evil]] the world was that Noah was [[participating]] in. This is [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_genesis#Chapter_.6 chapter six of Genesis], verse four...'there were giants in the [[earth]] in those days and also after that when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bear [[children]] to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw the [[wickedness]]' and it also says in here that these daughters that were born were giants and that there were giants in these days, and these giants were wicked.

I haven't got the whole verse there but anyway when my kids [[read]] this verse they started drawing these [[pictures]] of giants, poking each other with [[swords]], and eating people, and they went out of [[control]]. So what we did, we took the flood and we...in our [[puppet]] show we create every fall and let the kids [[practice]], we let the flood wash away all these giants. My question is, is this the proper [[positive]] spin. I have been rationalizing this to myself as a teacher in a Sunday school, that I am teaching them a [[foundation]] or a [[history]], a grounding if you will in [[Christian]] [[culture]]. Am I on the right track.
