Isnt the christian bible pretty antisemitic? Have they ever bothered to read their bible? Jesus talked trash about the Jewish authorities of the time pretty much nonstop. Thats not even going into the events that led to his death. If politicians want to keep servicing Israels bribes I recommend that they DONT advocate that anyone read the bible. They should probably ban it.
Similarly for Jewish holy books, Talmud passage Gittin 56a goes into details about how Jesus the Nazarene should boil in excrement for all time for mocking the Jewish sages. Thatd be another inconvenient thing to come up in school discussions, wouldnt it? We should probably ban that book too.
Heck with it, at that point maybe we just keep religion out of schools entirely, how about that. Extremist idea, I know.
You can try to force them but most of them probably can’t even read to begin with
reading the bible made me aware that 100% of all american christians aren’t following jesus’s teachings and way of life, and more follow the biblical satanic ideology
You just gotta love how these Christians, always ready to show the world their virtue signalling, always ready to paint themselves as the best people that people can be, also always cheat and fraud to get ahead and get their religion shoved down the throats of little children, and you always have to be thankful that that’s all they try to shove down your own child’s throat.
Fuck everything about religions in general, but Christianity specifically
“Your religion is like a penis. It’s fine if you have one, as long as you don’t try to shove it down my kids’ throats.”
If they read it and comprehend how crazy it is, how Christians pick and choose what they follow, and the discrepancies and inconsistencies in it. Sure. Let it backfire on them.
We had a super Christian lady in my first job, always smiling and happy and telling us how gods got a plan for us all. I tried reading the bible to see if I could get some of that blessed happiness. In the first 10 minutes of reading god makes everything, sees its shit, spakes “whoopeth” and fireballs everyone to ash and starts again.
Thats the being they truly believe is in charge of everything and they’re happy. Scares the shit out of me.
That is what I was thinking. They consistently pick out extremely short peices of passages to quote. In context, most would push people away from religion. Maybe other states should force kids to read the entire bible. That would cure todays youth of any religous intentions.
I’d have no problem with that were it done critically, comparative to “christians”, and analytically. Dissecting the Bible would create a lot more atheists.
But we know that’s not what they want. The talibangelicals want unquestioned dogma.
Ask very innocently: which version.
it’s always the KJB, or some later evangelical even more bastardized version of the KJB
That’s a great point. They may want to nail down exactly which version is the correct one, to avoid any issues…
So you mean the state will make a decision about …dogma? 😈
I think it’s crucial that the state of Texas make a ruling on which exact interpretation of Bible is the correct one. Everyone should weigh in on it passionately at the next opportunity.
I think it’s such an important issue that the implementation of the law should be delayed until a consensus opinion is reached.
That’s a great point! They should start discussing who has a right to chime in, as soon as possible, and then take however long is necessary to reach full agreement.
My great great aunt forced me to read the Bible. I am now a half feral Neo-Pagan, hail Odin fuck that trash, Jesus is kinda chill and Sampson gets overlooked too frequently.
Yeah Jesus was chill. The issue is the other half of the bible and also that people who force others to read it usually don’t even follow what Jesus taught so whatever.
Yep, honestly I’m kinda surprised that there doesn’t seem to be any major Christian sects who said fuck it and either cut out or simplified the old testament kinda like what Islam did or at least better separate it all out.
Yeah, there are many variations but it’s taboo enough that the closest to a major sect I can think of is that Catholics have additional books.
But fun fact, one of the founding fathers (I think Ben Franklen) made a very short version that took out all the history or magic and just left being the laws and rules to follow
You’re thinking of Thomas Jefferson
I think that was Jefferson? But ol’ Ben was also a wild child, for sure.
That’s the wrong kind of Pagan. Go hug a rock and think about what you’ve done!
But I don’t want to hug a rock, I want to raid churches and rip the copper from their walls!
In school we only did their creation myth. There were so many other myths in the world that we didn’t have time to learn the whole thing.
Coming soon to all 50 states. We are one Insurrection Act away from Gilead.
I feel like texas is doing this because the people just aren’t going to church anymore
Separation🤣of🤣church🤣and🤣state🤣
Yup, they’re separate classes. Church class and state history.
The heroes we need & deserve. 🥰🤘🏽
I was forced to actually read the bible in school. It successfully converted me to atheism.
To be fair, the story of the three daughters that get their geriatric father drunk and repeatedly gang rape him until they are all pregnant was particularly enlightening.
Same but the priest was actively telling us which chapter to read and which to jump. I never remembered which to jump or read so i just read everything, and i became an atheist… My mother kept telling me that to ask the priest when noting anomalies or having questions. The priest finally told me that the bible was written by humains so it doesn’t have to be read exactly and is full of mistakes. My great mother told my mother that if you don’t teach the bible properly you become an atheist like me… I think she mean that the priest not hitting me when asking question was a mistake XD
The Song of Solomon is also pretty well naughty.
Lotsa porny sex talk in that.
I prefer when a man calls bears to kill all the first sons in a village because he was called bald.
Average druid behavior.
Totally normal reaction though, how dare they? He was not bald, he was temporarily optimizing for vitamin d production.
I also had to read the bible in school, although importantly this was highschool english class, we read basically the whole thing, and it was treated similarly to other literature, it was overall very educational and important context for understanding western society. From the article it sounds like a lot of what they’re planning in Texas is to show kindergartners religious propaganda about the bible and small passages rather than giving students an unfiltered look at the full text, which seems less useful.
i like the part with balaam hitching his ass to a tree and walking a mile. also old baldy elisha and his mastery of the spell summon bear swarm. poor guy could never figure out how to cast
Where is that in the bible?
Right in the fucking beginning
It’s the second story of Lot and his daughters, Genesis 19:30-38
The first one is in Sodom where Lot offers the selfsame daughters to people who want to rape two angels that are visiting at the time.
That family was REALLY not big on consent…
Wow. Isn’t that highly inappropriate reading material for young kids?
Yeah, but so’s anything to do with religion, really 🤷
They get revenge by raping their dad and having incest babies.
Pretty early into Genesis.
My favorite is the story of Sampson. Who has magic hair.
And a mean woman cuts it off after he was post nut sleeping and then he was turned into a slave.But over time his magic hair grew back and then he killed all the haters.
Also reading the Bible will
- Teach you to have no critical thought and accept absurd stories.
- Alternatively, turn you into an atheist.
That’s what solidified it for me.
