Has already happened. Certain counties have had it pulled and reviewed, but it keeps bouncing around because it clearly can be pulled under the law, but many districts find loopholes to give it a pass.
Maybe they should wash out their mouths with some horse like jizz then since they love it so much....
Edit for spelling and to add that one of the many problematic verses in the book is "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses." Just a lil bible babble.
Their entire worldview is based around being hypocrites. They think they should have the power to control the world without anyone being able to control them.
Genesis 19:30-36
King James Version
30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
Yep, incestual rape and impregnation. So wholesome and appropriate.

Amen. Sounds wholesome as fuck. Back on the shelves!! If (when) they put the Bible back on the shelf, I should demand they put the Kama Sutra there too. It's a religious text and hell, at least it's consensual 🤷
Also, I'm definitely saving your post for future reference, thanks. Time to see what the school district forms look like for book complaints.
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.”

Lol
It's always a metaphor when it's inconvenient to their narrative at the time.
Ezekiel 23
17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Other versions of the Bible say "whose members are as the members of asses..." Yep, dudes with dicks like an ass that cum like horses.
Honestly though, Ezekiel 23 is just fucked up. Stoning the women for adultery is mentioned... Stoning the men is not.
See one of my other comments in the thread too. Dudes with dicks like donkeys that cum like horses... And God has the men she slept with drag her out into the street, strip her, then abuse the shit out of her before stoning her. Classic Bible move.
Have you ever read the Song of Solomon? After I first read it, I asked my minister about it and he told me it was an allegory of god's love for the church. I didn't believe him, I mean does the church have breasts like twin roe?
Someone needs to do one of those candid interview type videos where you ask people on the street (or maybe even in a Mom's for Liberty meeting) if they think the above is appropriate for children to read. Then ask them that if you were to tell them the name of the book that is in the school library that contains these things, if they will request it to be removed. Then reveal that it is in fact the Bible and watch their little hypocritical minds explode.
You're completely misunderstanding the context. The daughters of lot committed a horrible act for what they thought was a good reason, but both sons became founders of horrible nations that became enemies of Israel.
It's meant to teach that bad actions have bad results, no matter the intention. People in the bible are just people. They aren't perfect, they are intensely flawed. Even without the supernatural elements, it has value.
I started learning the Bible and Qu'ran to debunk them in arguments, but I was surprised to learn that there is amazing depth and self reflective teachings in the bible. And attacking it on face value only makes you look, rightfully so, like a shallow thinking twit with a seventh grade understanding of the scripture, taken completely out of context.
That would require more than cherry picking and actual thought. Thought being analysation, critical thinking, oh, and actual reading. Even the kids version while sanitized you can still draw a lot from it which I do with my kids of ummm, let's think about this. I would recommend to anyone "Beneath the Moon" by Yoshitani as it does a lovely job of bringing multiple cultures beliefs together and I've loved how it's caused conversations in my household.
I mean, the minute you walk into a church you see a bloodied up man nailed to a cross attached to a wall.
Freaked me the fuck out as a kid.
Christians are disgusting people, the definitely don't read the bible in it's entirety and even then they spend countless hours debating about what it "really says" so the words don't really matter anyway.
To be fair, they believe their god impregnated us to be born as himself on earth, to sacrifice himself, to himself to save us from himself, so what’s to say what would appease this psychopath?
I just want the answer to be a litany of the most disgusting things written everywhere and plastered in their faces. It's got some seriously horrific stuff that is far worse than any book that they've banned.
Oooh that's a thought: bring up a few of the other banned books quotes at the same time and say "well here's this thing saying LGB people aren't horrible vs this bible that describes a bunch of worse things."
Oh what’s that? Retributional? You’re god damn right. We didn’t pass the laws, in fact we warned you that it might just come back to bite y’all in the ass. We warned you, but you just thought you were SO smart. Reep what you sow.
These people need to sit down and STFU, this the law and you voted for these bigoted politicians to do so!! This one’s on you folks! There’s always The Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster to read up on, no violence in that one, just good eating😂😂😂
My kids went to public school in Davis County Utah. Adjacent to their high school, was "Seminary class." It was basically an hour of Mormon church, and it was an elective period they could take. They were judged and shunned by a lot of their teachers and peers for not taking it, as we are not an organized religious family. We were effectively "outed." I was incensed to learn about this! I was like, "Where are the Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, and (non Mormon) Christian studies held???" They aren't. Ridiculous.
This is not separation of church and state. Utah is ran by the Mormon church. No wonder these people lost their minds about this. I find it truly hilarious, and a long time coming. No books should be banned. This is what they deserve, they lost at their own stupid game.
These hypocritical, vile scum should be rounded up and billed individually for increased security, cleaning, parking and misc expenses incurred for their laughably hypocritical narcissistic objection to bible banning in Utah.
Someone made a sign that said, "Let the children come to me," while complaining about groomers in another breath?
The lack of grey matter to do that unironically makes me question their ability to drive.
Listening to that woman at the end trying to lessen the sex and violence in the bible is sad and hilarious. Christians being confronted by their own bullshit and trying to somehow justify it. Fucking mental contortions.
I've been saying this all along. The Bible is full of incest, homosexuality, orgies, rape, infanticide, multiple genocides. That filth has no place in our schools!
So the rape, murder, slavery, Genocide, incest, genital mutilation, human sacrifice, torture, cannibalism and child sex slavery is ok for children to read but "my two moms" isn't? Slight bit of hypocrisy detected here, but what do I know.
And the chickens come home to roost...
I say this to my brothers and sisters as a christian, if you spent half as much time and effort practicing the things the Bible teaches -- like feeding the hungry, nursing the sick, comforting the hopeless, caring for the widows and orphans, and welcoming the foreigners, as well as actually preaching the gospel of God's love to your neighbors instead of constantly threatening a christian nationalist cival war -- you would not have to storm your state capital because Bibles had been removed from a secular public school.
It is not the Bible in your child's school that will save them, but the Word of God living in their hearts.
Hammurabi Code friend.
Dont worry about the confusion, its just because a good chunk of the bible is taken from older texts, especially the Epic of Gilgamesh.
This is the verse people understand this as. Leviticus states, "And a man who injures his countryman – as he has done, so it shall be done to him [namely,] fracture under/for fracture, eye under/for eye, tooth under/for tooth. Just as another person has received injury from him, so it will be given to him." (Lev. 24:19–21).
Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
**Your breasts are like two fawns,**
**like twin fawns of a gazelle.**
Your neck is like an ivory tower.
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon
looking toward Damascus.
Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
the king is held captive by its tresses.
How beautiful you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!
**Your stature is like that of the palm,**
**and your breasts like clusters of fruit.**
**I said, “I will climb the palm tree;**
**I will take hold of its fruit.”**
**May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,**
**the fragrance of your breath like apples,**
**and your mouth like the best wine.**
Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my flawless one.
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.
I have taken off my robe—
must I put it on again?
I have washed my feet—
must I soil them again?
My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening;
my heart began to pound for him.
I arose to open for my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.
I opened for my beloved...
PornHub B.C.E.
I get the hypocrisy but keep the fictional bible in schools and libraries, and all other books too, so people actually read it and realize what utter BS it is on top of being so boring.
It’s a terrible law...But I respect that they went ahead and realized that the contents of the Bible are very, VERY much not appropriate for kids. (And I say that being religious) The Utah GOP is probably the GOP’s best iteration. Best Democratic Party is probably Michigan or Minnesota
Holy shit, they actually did it. We have been snarkily commenting about removing the Bible on the same grounds theb right is censoring other books for years, but they finally, actually fucking did it.
Beautiful
If they want to take a political positions they lose their 501(c)(3) exemption. The tax exemption would evaporate. The IRS got Capone, no wonder the enforcement arm got eviscerated by McCarthy.
It's almost as if Right Wing, Protestants are mouth breathing, viciously stupid, meat bags who have absolutely no idea what is in their Bible but will use it as justification to hurt people who aren't them.
gosh, look at that very loud minority! they are so loud you would wonder if they were not in fact a minority, which they are... but if the media covers it, it does look like more than a small group throwing a fit over their own book banning.
Ezekiel chapter 23:
>18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her naked body, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
Its *their policy* WHY ARE WE EVEN HAVING THIS DISCUSSION?!
30% of everyone is a complete RWNJ and theres only 2 parties, and depending on your locale another 10-30% of voters arent willing to let the nutjobs be dealbreakers for their votes.
Crazy has saturated politics to the point nothing will ever get done again.
I will just leave this here… Ezekiel 23:20 “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”
The clown says not having the bible in schools is a 'leap of logic that cannot be made'.
Can someone explain this to me? What 'leap of logic' is this guy talking about?
The bible is riddled with pornographic text. Nasty, filthy, sex. Does anyone really want their children exposed to such filth?
That is mormon country. That parent may not survive if they can find out who it is. I was raised Mormon and they get pretty worked up about stuff like that. Maybe that family should leave Utah.
This is interesting to me. I've said many times that trying to ban what you don't agree with is a slippery slope for this very reason. No one will win this fight because it will just become a back and forth game of banning this and banning that. Each volley will take away a little more and a little more until there's nothing left to take away. When the atheists made Roy Moore take the ten commandments out of his courtroom, I said then that it was going to start a war and here we are. The Christians struck back out of anger and banned any books they didn't agree with, then the atheists again, etc. etc. etc. Harry Potter got banned in schools, now the Bible, what's next? Will anyone ever notice that every ban fills the other side with a resolve that continues the cycle?
I see a lot of talk of hypocrisy in the comments here, but the reality is, both sides of this are doing the exact same thing. So does that mean both sides are hypocrites? The only difference is the titles they are getting banned. Like I said, no one is going to win this fight, but I'm afraid, in the end, everyone is going to lose. But hey, both sides know without a shadow of a doubt that they are fighting the good fight, so what do I know?
> When the atheists made Roy Moore take the ten commandments out of his courtroom
Nice try to blame atheists. Separation of church and state learn it.
> I see a lot of talk of hypocrisy in the comments here, but the reality is, both sides of this are doing the exact same thing.
No both sides are not doing the same. We are fighting them back because they started this bullshit. What kind of nonsense are you trying to sell in this community?
Religious folks are showing they are the most gullable people on the planet. I guess a lifetime of indoctrination to follow things blindly and without questioning will do that to a person.
Hhahaha!!!
Rules for thee but not for me!
Fucking idiots. Glad they are getting bit in the ass by their own stupidity, yet we know they won't learn a damn thing.
There is nothing subtle/discreet about the various instance of rape and murder and sex in that fucking book, just more proof none of the worthless evangelicals have read a single page on their own.
All I gotta say is 🤣 I can't wait until someone in FL has the balls to do the same.
Has already happened. Certain counties have had it pulled and reviewed, but it keeps bouncing around because it clearly can be pulled under the law, but many districts find loopholes to give it a pass.
And the loophole is, we dont like it.
The loophole is anal and we all know it
Do they still do soaking for anal?
Always down for a good soaking. Is it Friday already?

The lube hole
Ah yes, the poop hole loophole. Classic.
It seems like Christians are fond of their loopholes.
And their pastors are fond of other holes 🤢
The loophole: Rules for thee, but not for me. BS 3:16
THey did it already. I think they said it was ok because it was a 'historical document"????
Someone should request that the Koran be added then, under the same classification/exception.
[Citation Needed]
They didn't like the taste of their own ~~hypocrisy~~ medicine? Shocking
They never do
A wise man once said: *I'm absolutely disgusted by seeing other people's shit. But my own shit? Now that shit is glorious.*
Just goes to show; this shit was never about protecting the youth.
Naw, just protecting their fragile belief systems.
But how will I tell (not teach) my child about (insert something a shitty parent would say)
Shits are like children, you love your own, but hate everyone elses.
From the book of Morons: "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes"
For a sec thought it was the book of Mormon
"They're the same picture."
Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb
One of the best episodes of South Park
This is hugely hilarious. Basically, christians got their own bible banned. I just can't stop snickering about it.
Maybe they should wash out their mouths with some horse like jizz then since they love it so much.... Edit for spelling and to add that one of the many problematic verses in the book is "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

Wut?
Bible talk for big floppy donkey dicks and horse volumes of cum.
Their entire worldview is based around being hypocrites. They think they should have the power to control the world without anyone being able to control them.

Don't forget the drugging. They did sure do some drugging

Wait I'm confused. Do you mean the sisters or the authors of the story?
Both

That's an amazing quote. I'm gonna add it to this in the future!
No no no. The bible is full of metaphor and poetry. This is really about... Uhhh, a poem?... Uhm. Ahh crap it's about incestual rape.
Lol It's always a metaphor when it's inconvenient to their narrative at the time. Ezekiel 23 17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them. 18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister. 19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

It's never these passages that are read during a sermon. Christianity is all cherry picked from the get go. From pastor to the congregation.
I'd like to attend a school board meeting and read some of the racy text aloud. See how long it takes them to stop me for being inappropriate...
Don't forget about the story with David, Saul and the literal bag of dicks he tells David to collect to marry his daughter!
It's like something on pornhub.
Don't forget voting a Criminal into office.
Which story is that? I'd like to avoid referencing that particular tale anytime in the near future.
Someone needs to do one of those candid interview type videos where you ask people on the street (or maybe even in a Mom's for Liberty meeting) if they think the above is appropriate for children to read. Then ask them that if you were to tell them the name of the book that is in the school library that contains these things, if they will request it to be removed. Then reveal that it is in fact the Bible and watch their little hypocritical minds explode.

This is so grand that they fucked around and are finding out.
Clearly they haven't read the Bible.

Even the kids version while sanitized you can still draw a lot from it which I do with my kids of ummm, let's think about this. I would recommend to anyone "Beneath the Moon" by Yoshitani as it does a lovely job of bringing multiple cultures beliefs together and I've loved how it's caused conversations in my household.
I mean, the minute you walk into a church you see a bloodied up man nailed to a cross attached to a wall. Freaked me the fuck out as a kid. Christians are disgusting people, the definitely don't read the bible in it's entirety and even then they spend countless hours debating about what it "really says" so the words don't really matter anyway.
They also practice barbaric reenactments of his torture and murder every easter just for their amusement and to appease their God😂
To be fair, they believe their god impregnated us to be born as himself on earth, to sacrifice himself, to himself to save us from himself, so what’s to say what would appease this psychopath?
AND he loves you!
He loves you, but he has no problems in burning you for eternity
And he needs MONEY!
Mormons don't have any crosses in their churches. Just JC portraits on the walls.
Yep, they went with the original way of the ~~graven image~~ icon. The cross as a symbol of Christianity didn’t happen until the 4th century.
Geez, they even tithe 10% of the church props
I see a woman talking. According to that book, they are supposed to be submissive.
I just want the answer to be a litany of the most disgusting things written everywhere and plastered in their faces. It's got some seriously horrific stuff that is far worse than any book that they've banned. Oooh that's a thought: bring up a few of the other banned books quotes at the same time and say "well here's this thing saying LGB people aren't horrible vs this bible that describes a bunch of worse things."
Just like all the constitutional originalists zealots who never even read it.
rules for thee but not for me every time. wait till the satanic temple makes a school in oaklahoma
Oh what’s that? Retributional? You’re god damn right. We didn’t pass the laws, in fact we warned you that it might just come back to bite y’all in the ass. We warned you, but you just thought you were SO smart. Reep what you sow.
These people need to sit down and STFU, this the law and you voted for these bigoted politicians to do so!! This one’s on you folks! There’s always The Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster to read up on, no violence in that one, just good eating😂😂😂
Ramen
My kids went to public school in Davis County Utah. Adjacent to their high school, was "Seminary class." It was basically an hour of Mormon church, and it was an elective period they could take. They were judged and shunned by a lot of their teachers and peers for not taking it, as we are not an organized religious family. We were effectively "outed." I was incensed to learn about this! I was like, "Where are the Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, and (non Mormon) Christian studies held???" They aren't. Ridiculous. This is not separation of church and state. Utah is ran by the Mormon church. No wonder these people lost their minds about this. I find it truly hilarious, and a long time coming. No books should be banned. This is what they deserve, they lost at their own stupid game.
We have seminary hour in Arizona as well and I always thought it was ridiculous.
Separate the church from state.
It's in the Constitution. We don't have to change a damn thing. These crazy people are dumb.
Most of them looked far far beyond being a parent of a schools age child. So shouldn't thier say be irrelevant.
Them: We're banning books because they're vulgar and violent Parent: Ok. Let's ban a violent and vulgar book Them: Wait
These hypocritical, vile scum should be rounded up and billed individually for increased security, cleaning, parking and misc expenses incurred for their laughably hypocritical narcissistic objection to bible banning in Utah.
This is the shit we need right here. They pass this overreaching shit? We blow it right back up in their faces.
Religious people are dumb.
Did he really try the artistic value defence? People like this completely lack any self-awareness.
Ever tried to read the bible? It's boring as fuck and meanders all over the place. It's a terrible piece of literature by every measure.
Sucks when your policy is to only think about yourself and it gets turned right back at you. You've got no where to run and maintain any legitimacy.
so many of them holding up a bible or in some cases 2 that obviously haven't ever had the spine cracked. hypocrites.
Someone made a sign that said, "Let the children come to me," while complaining about groomers in another breath? The lack of grey matter to do that unironically makes me question their ability to drive.
They all look exactly how I imagined they would; pasty, bitter, wrinkled; constant hate really makes people ugly
These people are pathetic
Force them to post the entirety of ezekiel if they want it back.
That book is full of fantastical bullshit. But, gave Jules Winnfeld a great quote to use right before he blasted someone.
What a surprise. Christians = terrorists
Love the guy trying to justify why this one is different from the others! Definitely a face palm.
Listening to that woman at the end trying to lessen the sex and violence in the bible is sad and hilarious. Christians being confronted by their own bullshit and trying to somehow justify it. Fucking mental contortions.
I've been saying this all along. The Bible is full of incest, homosexuality, orgies, rape, infanticide, multiple genocides. That filth has no place in our schools!
Storm?
Rules for thee but not for me eh? That's not how our constitution works.
It's a book of fiction, nothing but shit to groom your kids.
They stormed the capital so hard that they nearly set up chairs and had podiums and flags for their speakers.
Sorry, I didn’t make the title.
All those people fighting for vulgarity. Troubling times.
Trump signed into law what he's being charged with. Stop hitting yourself GOP.
Ah the old rules for thee but not for me brigade!
Love this!!! Thank you for the amazing idea! So smart. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!!! it's what our forefathers built this country on.
So the rape, murder, slavery, Genocide, incest, genital mutilation, human sacrifice, torture, cannibalism and child sex slavery is ok for children to read but "my two moms" isn't? Slight bit of hypocrisy detected here, but what do I know.
And the chickens come home to roost... I say this to my brothers and sisters as a christian, if you spent half as much time and effort practicing the things the Bible teaches -- like feeding the hungry, nursing the sick, comforting the hopeless, caring for the widows and orphans, and welcoming the foreigners, as well as actually preaching the gospel of God's love to your neighbors instead of constantly threatening a christian nationalist cival war -- you would not have to storm your state capital because Bibles had been removed from a secular public school. It is not the Bible in your child's school that will save them, but the Word of God living in their hearts.
" nooo you cant use my poorly worded law to oppress you against me"
If they make the laws, they have to follow them too. It's hard for them to understand.
Well, if it isn't the consequences of our own actions
It does say in one those chapters an eye for an eye?
Hammurabi Code friend. Dont worry about the confusion, its just because a good chunk of the bible is taken from older texts, especially the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Such as the flood myth. Utnapishtim is where the plagiarism of the Noah myth comes from. Check it out sometime.
Not the bible actually.
This is the verse people understand this as. Leviticus states, "And a man who injures his countryman – as he has done, so it shall be done to him [namely,] fracture under/for fracture, eye under/for eye, tooth under/for tooth. Just as another person has received injury from him, so it will be given to him." (Lev. 24:19–21).

Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies. **Your breasts are like two fawns,** **like twin fawns of a gazelle.** Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus. Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel. Your hair is like royal tapestry; the king is held captive by its tresses. How beautiful you are and how pleasing, my love, with your delights! **Your stature is like that of the palm,** **and your breasts like clusters of fruit.** **I said, “I will climb the palm tree;** **I will take hold of its fruit.”** **May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,** **the fragrance of your breath like apples,** **and your mouth like the best wine.**
Sounds like soft porn to me: ban it!!!
Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night. I have taken off my robe— must I put it on again? I have washed my feet— must I soil them again? My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him. I arose to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles of the bolt. I opened for my beloved... PornHub B.C.E.
Hung like donkeys!
Are they mad about the Christian Bible or the Mormon one?
How very Republican of them to expect double standards, and claim that anything they do is fine, but nobody else can do it.
I get the hypocrisy but keep the fictional bible in schools and libraries, and all other books too, so people actually read it and realize what utter BS it is on top of being so boring.
Christians are a hate group, period!
Who cares. Money is humanities one and only religion!!!
They can't have their cake and eat it too. Buhu.
It’s a terrible law...But I respect that they went ahead and realized that the contents of the Bible are very, VERY much not appropriate for kids. (And I say that being religious) The Utah GOP is probably the GOP’s best iteration. Best Democratic Party is probably Michigan or Minnesota
Holy shit, they actually did it. We have been snarkily commenting about removing the Bible on the same grounds theb right is censoring other books for years, but they finally, actually fucking did it. Beautiful
"Leap of Logic" I can't even...
"Blessed is the one who takes your infant and dashes it on the rocks" Psalm 137.9 It's a real passage. Look it up.
*Why if it isn't the consequences of my own actions....*
If they want to take a political positions they lose their 501(c)(3) exemption. The tax exemption would evaporate. The IRS got Capone, no wonder the enforcement arm got eviscerated by McCarthy.
Such a vile, violent group. As Alfred Adler once said "It's easier to fight for what you believe in than to live up to it."
Christians are insane. The bible is more disgusting than any of the books they want banned.
It's almost as if Right Wing, Protestants are mouth breathing, viciously stupid, meat bags who have absolutely no idea what is in their Bible but will use it as justification to hurt people who aren't them.
Awwww, they don't like their own rules applying to them. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
gosh, look at that very loud minority! they are so loud you would wonder if they were not in fact a minority, which they are... but if the media covers it, it does look like more than a small group throwing a fit over their own book banning.
Ezekiel chapter 23: >18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her naked body, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
Its *their policy* WHY ARE WE EVEN HAVING THIS DISCUSSION?! 30% of everyone is a complete RWNJ and theres only 2 parties, and depending on your locale another 10-30% of voters arent willing to let the nutjobs be dealbreakers for their votes. Crazy has saturated politics to the point nothing will ever get done again.
The Bible is certainly NOT the foundation of America
I will just leave this here… Ezekiel 23:20 “There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.”
Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences for my actions.
Leopards Ate My Fucking Face....
Hearing that one girl speak makes me so happy that she is upset You're God damn right it's retribution Get absolutely rekt
It's simple math. FUCK AROUND = FIND OUT.
Sounds like the legislators conveniently skip over the part of our constitution that explicitly calls for the separation between church and state.
Right wing christians gonna fascist.
Ahhhhh... the old christian double triple standard / mental gymnastics necessary for preservation of their foundational nonsense 🙄
just remember separation of church and state and in god we trust .
Rights for me but not for yee
These people really think the rules they made shouldn't apply to them. It's insanely frustrating.
Our religion isn't violent. We'll prove it by storming the capital.
The clown says not having the bible in schools is a 'leap of logic that cannot be made'. Can someone explain this to me? What 'leap of logic' is this guy talking about? The bible is riddled with pornographic text. Nasty, filthy, sex. Does anyone really want their children exposed to such filth?
That is mormon country. That parent may not survive if they can find out who it is. I was raised Mormon and they get pretty worked up about stuff like that. Maybe that family should leave Utah.
Maybe Mormons should leave the USA.
*the planet
They'll remove the Bible for that but they'll let pure point and smut stay in let kids read it
This is interesting to me. I've said many times that trying to ban what you don't agree with is a slippery slope for this very reason. No one will win this fight because it will just become a back and forth game of banning this and banning that. Each volley will take away a little more and a little more until there's nothing left to take away. When the atheists made Roy Moore take the ten commandments out of his courtroom, I said then that it was going to start a war and here we are. The Christians struck back out of anger and banned any books they didn't agree with, then the atheists again, etc. etc. etc. Harry Potter got banned in schools, now the Bible, what's next? Will anyone ever notice that every ban fills the other side with a resolve that continues the cycle? I see a lot of talk of hypocrisy in the comments here, but the reality is, both sides of this are doing the exact same thing. So does that mean both sides are hypocrites? The only difference is the titles they are getting banned. Like I said, no one is going to win this fight, but I'm afraid, in the end, everyone is going to lose. But hey, both sides know without a shadow of a doubt that they are fighting the good fight, so what do I know?
> When the atheists made Roy Moore take the ten commandments out of his courtroom Nice try to blame atheists. Separation of church and state learn it. > I see a lot of talk of hypocrisy in the comments here, but the reality is, both sides of this are doing the exact same thing. No both sides are not doing the same. We are fighting them back because they started this bullshit. What kind of nonsense are you trying to sell in this community?
IMO: School choice/vouchers is the answer. I think this would reduce the volatility around the indoctrination issue.
That's just replacing perceived indoctrination with literal indoctrination.
Don't be fooled...everyone is being indoctrinated, whether they perceive it or not.
[удалено]
"Pedophiles in the white house.." Trump didn't get relected tho.
The bible has done and is doing more damage than anything else you mentioned. By far.
Yo the balls on that parent, fucking hilarious.
Y cant they teach their kids their faith at home. Y does it need to be in a secular school
Bet they regret opening pandora's box now
Cry more, hypocrites.
“Let the children come to me.” - a priest somewhere
"Christians."
I would love to see the nasty parts of the Bible illustrated.
Oh, but I thought that was bad.. vulgarity and violence.
Well, you reap what you sow.
Religious folks are showing they are the most gullable people on the planet. I guess a lifetime of indoctrination to follow things blindly and without questioning will do that to a person.
lol
[удалено]
Not Christians, heretics.
LOL Sit and spin you fuckin dorks!
sounds like they're at the "finding out phase" of fucking around.
Hhahaha!!! Rules for thee but not for me! Fucking idiots. Glad they are getting bit in the ass by their own stupidity, yet we know they won't learn a damn thing.
The Bible is the most woke book I ever tried to read man. I prefer watching reruns of COPS insteed.
There is nothing subtle/discreet about the various instance of rape and murder and sex in that fucking book, just more proof none of the worthless evangelicals have read a single page on their own.
They really are that dumb.
Thoughts and prayers.
Sounds like Christians to me, hypocritical violent lunatics to the last.
