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.
That's so blatant a constitutional violation we might not get a 6-3 ruling on it.
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
The only people that think it’s a good idea are people who’ve never read the Bible.
Song of Solomon is no substitute for proper sex education.
Even if it is “enlightening”
I've experienced reciting the pledge of allegiance and the lords prayer.
It's all indoctrination
Ask very innocently: which version.
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.
Christians don't read the bible. These kids will see how stupid it is. I see a backfire coming.
Separation🤣of🤣church🤣and🤣state🤣
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
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.
Let read Bible, then Quran, then all other religion!
Can't wait for the Satanic Church to chime in on this one.
I feel like texas is doing this because the people just aren't going to church anymore
Considering 40% of 4th grade kids in US cant read, this is going to be interesting
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
Maybe someone should hint them on the ... interesting ... bits. Things their boring preacher usually leaves out. Song of Salomon, Lot's daughters, etc.
The heroes we need & deserve. 🥰🤘🏽
Fuck off with that nonsense! Gosh they are despicable.
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.
Honestly, at this point I'd be happy if American children were capable of reading anything.
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.
You can try to force them but most of them probably can't even read to begin with
I'm pretty sure if there is a hell the god bothers outnumber the devil worshipers.
Coming soon to all 50 states. We are one Insurrection Act away from Gilead.
I don’t necessarily have a problem with this, so long as the lessons aren’t dictated to be from a religious perspective. I think the Bible and the Quran make sense as required reading as historical works. They’re tremendously important cultural and historical documents. As long as they’re taught from that perspective, I don’t have a problem with them being required reading texts.
The problem starts when they’re being required as texts to legitimize the religions they’re associated with. Then, you’ve got the state supporting some religions over others or no religion at all.
i learned to read off an old king james version (probably 1920s edition somewhere. my oldest sibling inherited it and their kids learned similarly) when i was 4. honestly, it taught me to read challenging verbiage and stick with uninteresting texts. i think only my parents thought it was literal.
You WILL get on board with pastoral expansion
Start with Ezekiel 20:24-26
24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.
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.
