Time for people to start hanging up 'the historical quotes' for all to see, everywhere. First up, Ezekiel 23:20.

Bright red. Font size 4500. When they get taken down, put them right back up, ad infinitum.

Maybe some Hosea 13:16 for the ardently pro life folks in attendance "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their god. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open."


Ahhhhh, 'history.'
That's it, I'm getting my wife an Ezekiel 23:20 bumper sticker, that is gold.

I don't live in those states, but if they tried that shit here in Pennsylvania, I'd sue every teacher that has a bible in their classroom, and the school, for trying to indoctrinate my child into another religion.
Exactly, and that in itself, that argument should be enough to declare these shenanigans unconstitutional and with supreme ease.

Unfortunately we are moving backwards, or at least some of the country is trying to.
Isn't that a corallary of MAGA? The implication is that the past was better than what transpired and we should try to, well, live in the past. Reactionaries.

Reactionary
Political ideology

Description​

In political science, a reactionary or a reactionist is a person who holds political views that favor a return to the status quo ante—the previous political state of society—which the person believes possessed positive characteristics that are absent from contemporary society. Wikipedia

I'd like to clarify that I have nothing against the bible. If it is part of your religion, you have a right to it.

My issue is the attempted indoctrination of our youth into a religion they do not believe in. It smacks of the crusades, where the church went to war to either convert the nonbelievers, or have less nonbelievers in the world one death at a time.

If you want the bible in a class, because it is a historical document, then put it in a history class and it should only be used when teaching about religion in history, or put the bible in a mythology class because not everyone believes in it. It does not belong in every classroom.

What they're attempting is pure shenanigans and we all know it. Any attempt to say otherwise is sophistry.

Hey guys, don't worry. Pushing religious doctrines to youngsters work in the opposite direction.They get more Deists/Atheists who speak out louder. Been there, seen that thanks to Erdogan here.

Can't wait for the literature teachers to teach the Bible in an extreme critical literature review fashion to fulfill the requirements set out by the state while it works its way through conservative-packed courts. Oklahoma Republicans on teaching the Bible: "not like that".

Like I said when this issue pooped up earlier: require the kids to memorize the begat tree. You'll have a class of atheists in no time.

What filth…..has no business in a school.

Sure it does, why do you hate baby jesus? Why do you hate THA LORD?!

Should they start with something a little tamer? How about how guys shouldn't pull out or god will kill them. Red states and teen pregnancy go together like biscuits and gravy after all.


Genesis 38:8-10
"Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also."


These are important historical documents so it's important that everyone know what they are.

My own personal radicalization against organized religion probably began in the 4th grade when they made us recite from memory the books of the bible in order on a daily basis. It seemed pointless even at that age.
