Florida Atheist's Bible Banning Petition
1.Age
Appropriateness.
As the Bible casually references such topics as adultery and fornication –or as
I like to think, Date Night Friday Night –do we really want to teach our youth
about drunken orgies?
- For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality,
theft, false witness, slander. -Matthew 15:19
- Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in
sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy Romans 13:13
2.Bestiality and Rape.
Taking a cue from Florida Statute Ch. 847.001 6 (a, b, c), one should consider
such discussions to be harmful to minors and obscene.
- Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A
woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it;
that is a perversion. - Leviticus 18:23
3. Wokenness.
With the constant babbling concerns
about teaching Critical Race Theory, should we not take stock of the Bible’s
position on slavery? I am concerned our young white students will read such
passages and wake up to civilization’s sordid past.
- Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh,
with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; not with
eye-service, as men-pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of
God from the heart; with good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to
men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he
receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. - Paul’s Epistle to the
Ephesians, VI, 5-7
4.Social-Emotional Learning.
The most troubling of issues for many, as it’s obvious once we teach little
Jimmy and Susie to show empathy for their classmates, they’re one giant step
closer to getting their LGBTQ+ freak on.
- It is not good enough for man to be alone, therefore, encourage one another
and build each other up! - Genesis 2:18
From
what I know about the Bible, there is a lot more where all of those came from,
especially insofar as it concerns fornication and rape and conception, both
immaculate and non. Not to mention all of the questions it could invite about
consent and magically impregnating women with ... yourself.
They
should also make sure they don't have any books about any saints, cause that
could get pretty dicey as well.
Also
— "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is the exact
sort of woke, Social Emotional Learning that good, decent Republicans are
fighting against all over America. The kind of nonsense that destroys our
beautiful American tradition of bullying children who are different badly
enough so that they move far, far away as soon as they graduate, leaving small
towns blissfully free of adult nonconformists. Children don't need to learn
"empathy" or "how to navigate social situations" from
school. They can learn it from their parents and those that don't will just
shoot the school up anyway before they graduate and no one will have to deal
with them after that. Just the way God intended.
I'll bet the irony and humor will be lost on the governor and most of the GOP.
