    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…

      You could also just go with some of the teachings of Jesus. Like love thy neighbour, that was a pretty big one. Pretty sure he said not to be a judgemental belled too, probably paraphrasing a bit with that one.

    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.

    Religious people should be put in camps and be deprogrammed from their insane cult.

    Reading about the USA really is incredibly depressing. I just look at news articles like this, and wonder how things ever got so bad.

      To be fair, that one COULD be interpreted as pretty bigoted towards goats… 😁

      Come to think of it, though, that’s far from the only time. I guess the drunk and high monks who wrote the bible just really didn’t like goats 🤷🏻
