and we took?

and we took? we took what?

Context:

And if we were teaching the Bible and the Qur'an the way we teach The Iliad and The Odyssey, and we looked closely at this claim that these books are somehow inerrant, and the source of, sourced by some omniscient being, all of this would break down in a single generation. You just can't, the Bible cannot sustain a real critical look at the proposition that, okay, maybe this is authored by some omniscient being. There's not a single sentence in there that cold not have been written by a denizen of first century. There's nothing about DNA or electricity or computation or anything that, I mean, if anything like that were in there, then we would have a conundrum on our hands, but there's nothing like that in there. And what is in there is not even a serviceable morality. Slavery isn't even criticized

And so if teenagers were forced to confront this, and we took - the problem is that in the U.S. we feel that on some level parents own their children and can hammer into them their first 15 years of life the most ridiculous and insupportable worldview, and the educational system then has to kind of work around that. I mean you shouldn't be able to practice your own brand of dentistry on your children, you can not decide you're going to be a frontier dentist, and it would be unethical. It is unethical to push your children into the world believing that the universe is 6,000 years old and that all the good people are going to be raptured at some point in the near future. And if enough of us in this society realize that, then our educational system would be more intrusive with facts and with critical argument. And I think it would be, I mean it's essential that it be so, because look who is voting. We have to live with the consequences, these children become adults and they become adults who, a significant percentage of whom, probably 50% of whom are waiting for the end of the
world with something like gleeful expectation.
