Passages, mind you, not the book itself.
If they read the whole thing kids might figure out that “Christian Nationalists” are everything Jesus was against.
Yeah, I really think promoting Christianity by leadership living Christian values by example would work. Unfortunately for them their conservative brainrot is really far from Christianity…
To be fair, having a cross as your religious symbol tends to attract a death cult
When I was a kid I was forced into church and Christian school. I was required to read the Bible every day of the week.
This was how I realized it was all bullshit. I believed fully in God until about age 12 or so, when I completed my first pass of the Bible.
It really is the fastest way to make average intelligence or higher Christians shed their faith.
Thats why they will only memorise a few passages and not actually study it academically.
I live over in Arkansas where they’ve mandated 12 commandments (and I get to see them every day, working in a school) and let me tell you, they don’t have the intended effect, unless the intended effect is driving people further away from Christianity in droves by making a show of forcing it down everyone’s throat. So, sure, whatever Texas, breed us some angry atheists in a generation.
edit: We did away with all the woke commandments and added Stand your Ground, Prosperity Gospel, Hungry Kids Are Just Lazy, and Charter Schools as White as Snow
Wait, what are the two that they added?
Freedom is slavery.
War is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
God is power.
God’s lost commandments
(go watch moral orel)
The Table of Commandments has expanded over the years, as new commandments have been found, and also made up.
Maybe the poophole loophole
I’m fuckin’ dyin’ here lol.
Worship Thy Leader, and Strength Through Superior Firepower.
I read the bible a bit in my youth. Wasn’t Christian before, wasn’t Christian after. If anything it left me wonder about the sanity of the authors…
Religious people should be put in camps and be deprogrammed from their insane cult.
Secular rehabilitation camp (SRC for short)
I hope the smart kids will pick out the passages that will contradict texas mores.
Starting with elementary school children is quite literally the fear-mongering indoctrination that the far right always bitches about Democrats doing.
It’s always projection.
I’m sure that having it assigned in school will make religion cool again for the next generation ;P
There’s an old saying: “If I owned Hell and Texas, I’d rent out Texas and live in Hell.”
It’d be cooler anyway.
Reading about the USA really is incredibly depressing. I just look at news articles like this, and wonder how things ever got so bad.
You wonder?
Surely not long now, until they add the Book of Trump to the Bible.
Still think yall are the land of the free?
And to think that some of my family firmly and fully believes that Christians are the most persecuted people in the entire country.
I mean, someone said happy holidays to them instead of merry Christmas one time! How could it possibly get any worse?!
“Don’t tread on me,” said the most privileged class of people ever.
Of course they are super persecuted. Just look at how so many people have a problem with them putting bible studies in public school! No one else suffers like that! /s
Now that they have the Bible in there, we’ll have to mandate the Quran next and really pump up the discourse.
Of course it’s Texas. It’s a shithole state.
I suspect none of those will be Matthew 25:31-46
Of course, yes, Matthew 25:31-46!
Gotta love when people cite chapter and verse of the bibke and expect everyone else to know what the fuck they’re referring to.
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
that’s nothing compared to Matthew 21:17 tho
Thanks.
Your username, is it a reference to Eck and Eckankar? Found a cooy of the Shariyat-Ki-Sugmad at a garage sale years ago and had a good laungh with it.
No, although I am aware because I ironically read and enjoy a bunch of dumb stuff like Charles Fort, Golden Dawn etc
I used to post on usenet and BB boards in the 90s under a username referencing the video game Eternal Champions and abbreviated it to “EC” which became “Eck” in IRC rooms.
The funkless part is what a drummer once called me when I played bass in a band.
New age stuff were a lot of fun reads. I liked buying up weird books at small shops and garage sales.
I am sorry for your lack of funk. I would suggest getting some from the reflecting pool, but am certain that it is a bad choice of funk.
It would seem that Texas wants to tell the world what complete backward small minded fucks they are.
They taught my child about angels, Moses, and Noah in history class. But there was one question on the review about Mohammed, so you couldn’t say they were only teaching Christianity. So aways, I moved the fuck out of that state and my kids are receiving a wonderful education in Connecticut where they teach things like critical thinking and dealing with emotions and that everyone is welcome regardless of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation.
