Really the only thing to say here. Reap what you sew, bitches.

They reinstated it shortly after.

It's a "book of wisdom" like "She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey’s and emissions like those of a horse." Nothing sexual there...🤣
-
My real questions come from the idea of who has a kid that checks a Bible out from their school? If they are religious I would assume they have copies at church, and at home. (Also free on the internet, it's one of the few books easy to access)
So are we expecting that these kids are wanting to check the Bible out for a research project? Which wouldn't be allowed in most classes.. or that they can't afford lunch so they are reading about the suffering of Jesus and slaves when they otherwise would get lunch?

KJV is kinda impossible to pirate. (it is in the public domain)
-
one of the honors-level English classes at my high school in Texas in the 90s was "the bible as literature". they had Bibles in the library for that class
-
Doesn't need to be checked out to read it. I used to go to the public library and read for hours. Not in school, but the city library I mean. I could imagine a kid that doesn't want to go home or has free study periods reading books on their own.

I'm glad they're doing it. Maybe it'll bring attention to the actual content of the Bible.

"book of wisdom" my ass. Click this link a few times and see how often you end up with something truly wise, worthy of being the word of an omniscient god https://dailyverses.net/random-bible-verse
Edit: lol, my 6th time loading it I got this nugget of wisdom that all the Trump idolizing evangelicals are completely ignoring: "Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." But I guess god loved the adulterer King David too so 🤷♂️ Yahweh's gonna yaweh.

Litterally rhe first one it gave me "Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back." Luke 6:30
The bible is woke communist propaganda!
-
My first one: "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?" Matthew 16:26
Good words, but completely disregarded by the majority of so called Christians these days.

Yeah it’s partly why I gave up on it a long time ago. Besides faiths never really clicking with me on a fundamental level, shit like that, making no sense, caused me to abandon it.
-
It's unbelievable for how many people it does click but maybe they don't look at it closely.

-
In their defense it’s a shit book full of lies and tomfoolery
-
Are the bookshelves empty yet?
Thankfully kids have cellphones these days and they can access The Internet Archive.
-
It's not gonna be hard to find bibles in Texas when they're beating people over the head with it so often.
-
So, does Texas had temporarily ban weapons? Edit:typo

Someone hasn't read it.
Don't forget Ezekiel 23:20-21
50 Shades: the prequel
I've often wondered what kind of magic booze Lot's daughters had that would make the old man so blind drunk that he didn't recognize he was fucking his daughters, but still leave him able to get it up enough to do the deed.
Or, was the story just a coverup for the old pervert raping his daughters?
Check out Song of Solomon
Not to mention the Song of Solomon
If you trust that students are mature enough to read the Bible then you trust that they’re mature enough to read ANYTHING.
Hah I was going to make the same comment, but in response to this quote:
A symbol of team sports and nothing more.
Lol. I came to post the exact same quote, wondering if he was smoking crack. Of course not. Our delusions condemn us.
