OK school boss announces all teachers will have a Bible & teach from it

It may pass review under the new understanding of Free Exercise, i.e. the right to compel others. Time to get in line

 

Good luck. I guarantee you they are better armed and more prone to use force, as their faith commands to address heretics that resist their truth.

 

Gonna be some fun PTA & schoolboard meetings over which version of the Bible gets taught

 

No dispute - only the True Bible will be used, that is, theirs

Get ready

 

So many other possible examples

 

Awesome! Save the Children!

 

The Bible is a book that is adhered to and revered by a great, great many faiths. Even some faiths that have numerous other primary scriptures draw lessons from the Bible. And some faiths, which share no noticeable connections with the Bible whatsoever, are clearly, at times, promoting a message similar to what can be found in certain parts of the Bible.

It is because of these cross-cutting and universal themes that the Bible clearly does not intend to promote any SINGLE religion.

So I'm perfectly OK with this. Even if it's not what I would have chosen.

 

"The 2015 revised translation of the Good News Bible 3rd Edition is the true word of the Lord, you King James groomers are trying to make our kids gay"

 

Strikes me as a much more blatant violation of the separation of church and state mandated by the First Amendment than even the Louisiana law requiring display of the Ten Commandments.

 

I personally wouldn't have any problem teaching the Bible from an academic perspective. The OK mandate sounds much more like requiring religious indoctrination. There is a difference.

 

Seems they have a tendency to shoot themselves alot though, so I'm not all that concerned.

 

Are they shooting themselves, or just honoring their oath to shoot people who violate the constitution

 

It seems the Christofascists have determined that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" was actually to be understood as "Congress shall make a law respecting an establishment of our chosen religion, or allowing the free exercise thereof;" Give them a few more corrupt Federalists on the Supreme Court and they'll make those corrections right away.

 

We are dealing with people who think a kid becomes gay if they see a rainbow flag, I'm pretty sure these idiots think if you just waive a Bible in the general direction of a kid they become an evangelical Christian
