If only they were really trying to protect kids though.it’s the hypocrisy for me. These law makers “trying to protect kids” have in their chambers child sex offenders who they wine and dine with. Who they campaign for. Their zombies chanting protect the kids go to the polls and vote for domestic abusers and child sex offenders.
It’s has never been anything but how to protect white supremacy. The minorities who vote for them align themselves with them because of homophobia and misogyny/misogynoir.

Exactly and the Black people that support these people are clowns honestly. Imagine a Black man against what "woke" actually means. Conservatives are aiming to turn it into something else to cover their racism and other rights of people they don't like.

Also what about the guns? How does protecting the kids not include heavily restricting guns which are the leading cause of death in America? Those people are so terrible.

cool

The internet has killed Christianity.

It is also gradually eroding islam . Islam is only surviving by Polygamy and uncontrolled birth rate.


The only religion worthy of practice by humans is science.
you must be dreaming, not even Rome with all her might could extermninate Christianity, Rome ended up having more than half of her citizens converting to Christianity. No power, any where can overcome Christianity, because the message of Christianity is Jesus christ.

Is it not laughable that the more humans gain knowledge the more they become foolish.
Hahaha, they are so civilized yet can't even differentiate between a man from a woman anymore.

Well the bible does depict things like INCEST and human sacrifice as well as cannibalism and hardcore violence.

Is that normal? wink
History contains incest, human sacrifice and cannibalism so History should not be taught. This is a dumb idea , don't you think?

Yes, which is why I do not advocate book banning of any kind.

(And the thing is, the bible was not being used to teach any class in the said school. It was just in the library.).

Did david not snatch someone’s else wife and killed the husband…:.. and David still got forgiven lol
Yes David got forgiveness because he realised how horribly sinful he was and he needs God.

The secular/atheistic world view can not establish objective morality, from your world view you can defend why killing a man and taking his wife is wrong.

lol we will continue to preach to your children the word of God anywhere we find them... In the bus, in schools, in hospitals, in the markets... Banning the Bible can't stop Christianity..... Many have tried and failed.
But when they want to talk about LGBTQ you draw the line. Is it not the same thing as indoctrination?
I have nothing against religion your comment made me realise how inconsistent these American conservatives are. Indoctrinating kids with religion is not totally different from LGBTQ they hate because they are both shoving their beliefs/ideas down everybody's throats. cheesy

I have read books which feature a homosezual relationship, and books which also feature some 'deviant' relationships, and that does not mean that I would wake up and decide that I would be a homosexual...especially since I don't have the orientation.

Parents should simply monitor what their children read....not be banning books up and down because as you can see what was meant to be a ban on deviance has led to the bible being caught up in the ban.

Since Trump came into power and Conservatives control 2/3 of the Supreme Court the Talibangelicals in America have amplified their voices. They came for Roe v Wade last year, SCOTUS may reduce LGBTQ rights in the 303 opinion they will release this month. They are more louder than ever because someone like Trump came to power and amplified their voices. The only good thing about the Trump presidency was that Democrats started to take elections seriously and realise that the Supreme Court is a political branch of government. I am glad younger generation of Americans like genZ don't share the same bigoted views like these hateful conservatives and may Trump or DeSantis not win in 2024.

You get the whole gist .

Nairaland Christians think their “hustle for heaven” type of Christianity is the same as what these white supremacist conservatives people are about.

It's gradually happening. I told someone something like this last year December. I said the contents of the holy books are not suitable for kids. I said civilisation will soon take us to a stage where kids are not allowed to read the holy books until they attain certain age. Are we not gradually moving towards there now?
They can ban, but the word of God will prevail, not even the Roman empire could stop Christianity, check history Christianity grows more under persecution and hostility.
Lol
China that ban the bible and made preaching the gospel a criminal offense is having her citizens converting to Christianity in droves.

Ugh. Don’t even get me started.
Kids keep dying in schools everyday due to gun violence but the “protect the kids” crowd keep voting for mass accessibility to guns. Make it make sense.

I just side eye any black person supporting them. Either they are massively ignorant and just jumping on the bandwagon because it’s an opportunity to hate on gay people or they are the worse type. The kind that were used during slavery times to keep other black people in chains. Now They are rooting for white supremacy in hopes that the proximity they get can give them access to power as well.

We could ban a lot of literature and fairy tales too.

Like Rapunzel and Cinderella which includes depictons of child abuse and brutality.

And don't get me started on Pinocchio.

Like i said, I don't believe in banning any book. And the bible should be taught in the church and if a.school makes provision for religious classes that involve it.

P.s I.learned about worldwar 1 and 2 in primary 6 as well as the civil.war. I also did some extra.reading too. Yes including deth.
The bible is not like fairy tales, it has real history with evidence. For example Jesus really exist, the four books of the gospel are real historical books of Jesus,
The death m, burial and resurrection of Jesus are real historical events.

Most Europeans are Christians, Roman Catholism

I will give you that, eventhough it's false, it may sounds good to you, however, in actuality, in accordance with the evidence, most Europeans believe in the Evolution Theory.

Its possible for me to make these conclusions, as these findings are based on the results of experimental research, these aren't based on theoretical theories.

Our team of analysts spent over 1000 hours on the streets of European and American cities interviewing the specific demographic and eventhough, there was a few pockets that professed their Catholic faith, overwhelming from the Latino community it must be said, the majority spoke about the Evolution theory.

or thousands of snakes biting everyone till the IMAGE OF A SNAKE was created. but the same people were admonished for the image of a calf.

or wild bears tearing children apart because of another man's head.

Seriously I would deal with any teacher that brings religion to my child.

Feel free to buy all the versions of bible and read them to your children AT HOME. You can do it with loud speaker if you want.

Lol, even as a child, I read a lot of books...like the one where Snow white is kissed by a prince to wake her up, ditto Sleeping Beauty.

So did that mean as a child, that I would go round kissing sleeping girls? Obviously not.

If after years of gay indoctrination by the LGBTQ lobby, the number of gay children has not gone above 50% (it is well below 10%) either it is not working...or quite simply, children read child appropriate gay material, and put it down and go back to their lives.

At the end of the day, banning books always backfires. A gay may ban a book like the Bible ..only to find out that the same parameters one used to ban the Bible would be used to ban the books the gay person likes.They can start shouting frredom of speech...but the fact is the fire they set to affect others is affecting them

There is a reason why I believe in freedom for all. If you start restricting people's rights, your rights would be restricted. AND THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED HERE. A rule meant to stop gay material from falling into the hands of children was used to ban the bible from the library.....on the same grounds. If such a rule had not been passed, the bible would have been STILL in the library, and no one would have batted an eyelid.

At the end of the day, either we teach our children to draw close to God and be discerning. ...or we use man made laws that Satan would cleverly use against us when the time comes. The road to hell is paved with good intentions afterall.
