Well that was a total misunderstanding of my post.
The idea is to come up with an ethical dilemma, apply critical thinking, and then show how crap the biblical approach is. With the examples I cited, I'm amazed you think this is teaching the Bible as fact. More like proving it wrong ethically & logically using itself as evidence.

That whole punishment for not resisting the temptation of looking back seems to have been borrowed from the Greek myth of Orpheus & Eurydice. Like many other biblical stories.
