As more and more states pass laws targeting “pornographic material” in books and online, they are repeatedly running up against a problem: The Bible has not just a few passages that could be considered indecent
Reddit for all of its faults and hideous admin team always did have a marvellous sense of humour. Only thing I miss about it.
Excellent
there shouldn’t be a fucking bible in a school library anyway, that’s so bonkers. is there also a torah and a quran? BET FUCKING NOT.
imho libraries shouldnt have any religious books , if you want to read them either buy it yourself or go to the temple/ mosque / church / synagogue … and I am writing this as a religious person myself
I actually disagree as an atheist. I’m fine with religious books being in a library as long as all religious texts are relegated to the same area and no single religion is given preferential treatment.
They are a part of our culture and history, whether we want it to be or not.
I disagree.
Libraries contain books people want to read.
People want to read religious books.
Libraries should contain religious books.
Libraries should please the reading needs for as many people as possible.
And I am not religious in the slightest.
Btw libraries are a very useful resource for research.
Well you see, the quran teaches evil and radicalizes children (teaches rules, changing between positive and negative tone, kinda outdated but some generic stuff still applies today) while the bible teaches us how god loves us (teaching overlapping with the quran, different writing though and yahwee is definitely not nice)
There should be a bible, along with every other religious text they can get their hands on. The problem arises when they ONLY have bibles in the library
Idk what libraries you go to but the ones I know have most religious books
my public highschool library did not feature any religious texts, the regular library has plenty though.
When I was a kid I remember checking out a book from my elementary school library. My brain tells me it was called “Tales of Terror” but I haven’t found anything close with that title. It had butterflies killing people in swarms, rats eating human flesh. It was nuts.
Well, my people found the book. They claimed they could “feel the demons crawling from the book” when they opened it. Half my damn family went to the school and went off about it.
This comment brought that memory back for me because I remember one of them saying, “you got this filth in here but ya ain’t got the bi-buhl?!?”
I’d love to see that book again, if only to see if it was truly as horrible as I remember.
