Utah school district removes the vulgar, violent, pornographic and indecent Bible from schools

This actually has become funnier as a second parent has come forward and filed a complaint against The Book of Mormon. A book that is probably more important in Utah than the bible is.

If anything gets them to modify the law, it will be this.

this is a message board with opinions I made a polite request.

good luck to you in the future go gators

 

By THFSG's standards I am extremely right wing on religion. I am appalled by what the libs/dems are doing to bakers and photographers. I see the Democrat party as NAZI light. I know the vast majority here disagree with that position.

I also understand that this thrrad is an attempt to troll. Nevertheless, I agree with the premise. The Bible is a book used for religious instruction. Children should not read the Bible, maybe some stories, without guidance. The Bible, the Koran, the Vedas have no place in an elementary/middle school.
While It would be difficult to teach the history of the west without Christianity, you should be very careful how it is taught in high school. I would be just as afraid of the left as the right on high school curriculum. The physicist Tyson, who does not appear to be religous, has a Tic Toc on why he still uses B.C. It is instuctive on why you can't take religion out of history.

Regardless, having the Bible in an elementary school is virtue signaling and I loathe virtue signaling. The state doesn't do religious instruction. It is a terrible idea.

 

Finally, a book ban the lefties approve of.

 

Whoa good take..

 

If this were a Blue State, this would be all over the place. Utah? Those wacky but RED mormons. I would label this a LOSER at the polls for the Left.

 

I don’t disagree but the answer is not banning the Bible.

 

Nothing burger.

if you want your child to read the Bible send them to Sunday school, church, buy one, or take them to the library.

Same as the books banned in Florida schools.

 

Certainly not into prohibition as a solution, but with the Book of Mormon the arg for banning could be made due to plagiarism. But, what party was plagiarized? God? The org ver (LDS has made 3-4k edits) contained the same translation mistakes that were in the KJ ver at the time. Divinely inspired, indeed!

Lot of semen talk in the Bible. No place for that in a school.

 

Off Topic, but perhaps relevant -

Due to numerous notable similarities in many of the world's religions it's reasonable to assume various beliefs and tenets are shared or strikingly similar. It's also reasonable to assume there were other grammatical errors in addition to mistakes in translation as well as others. And if I am remembering correctly information learned many years ago, some LDS customs and sacred rites strongly resemble Masonic rituals. Joseph Smith, founder of the LDS church, was a Mason.

Hinduism is generally considered to be the world's oldest religion. It's the source of numerous off shoots or has indirectly supplied other religions with some of their beliefs. There is a trinity in the Hindu tradition, and stunning similarities between Brahma, the first being created and creator of all subsequent beings in the Hindu faith and Abraham, father of the Jewish people. Abraham had his name changed from Abram and he was married to Sara, whom he twice claimed as his sister. Brahma was married to Saraswati, but she was also his daughter, harkening back to abraham's nephew Lot and his two seductive daughters. Archaic Hindu creation metaphysical beliefs closely shadow esoteric beliefs in the ancient teachings of the Jewish Kabbalah tracition.

The Hindu goddess - Saraswati - is also the name of an ancient river of significance, that flooded then disappeared causing the forced migration of masses of people.

Hindus believe the Kaaba, the monolithic shrine in Mecca was originally a shrine to the god Shiva before it was captured by the muslims and adapted for their worship. Some of the customs and rituals performed in Mecca are not in accordance to Islamic requirements or restrictions. They do reflect ancient rituals in the tradition of Shiva.

Christianity has adapted many Jewish beliefs and rituals into their doctrines and rituals. It's a never ending process.

The idea that Hindu beliefs and traditions will perhaps be preserved by omitting or restricting instruction in evolution, or other targeted scientific disciplines and/or other academic areas is curious to me.

 

Would you just prefer that we close libraries, both school and public? After all, you can just buy them on Amazon?

 

I start this by saying that I am not expert on the Mormon religion. However, after living in Arizona for 8 years, I learned a little bit. Mormon children that attend public school either leave the campus during lunch or gather in the school library or cafeteria's well before school starts. During this time they have bible study or what they refer to as "seminary". I know that this is done for high school age students. I do not know about elementary or middle school age children.

My point, however, is that as a result of "seminary", there may actually be valid reasons to have a bible/bibles in the school libraries in and around Utah/Idaho/Arizona.

 

That’s the problem. Churches are bleeding school age believers so they want the schools to do their job of Christian religious instruction. They tried teaching the Old Testament as history class in my former school, but it could only cover the Old Testament and children had to sign up for the class voluntarily. No one signed up for the class.

 

Seems to me the Bible should be in the school libraries, along with the Torah, Koran, Book of Mormon .... they just shouldn't be taught in public schools.

 

No. I never said anything about libraries closing. So why bring them up? SMDH

Public libraries should remain open and contain all books that people choose to check out, read, etc.
