    Most porn is much much more wholesome and tame than the pestilence, genocide, fratricide, infanticide, racism, sexism, and slavery that is recommended by that disgusting ignorant book

      pestilence, genocide, fratricide, infanticide, racism, sexism, and slavery

      Which one of those categories is “sending out your daughters to be raped by the crowd” in?

          No I was just hoping “Bible Bad, upvotes to the Left” was something we could outgrow BEFORE we graduate high school.

          It’s not a matter of respecting beliefs but of looking like an adult.

              So just because someone has a religion you don’t think they deserve to be treated like a human being? You have revealed your bigotry.

            Considering the political and social leanings of the typical Lemmy user, I think you’re going to be repeatedly disappointed looking for people who think the Bible is a good thing. In any modern and halfway decent society, yes, Bible is bad. Recognizing that something is shit isn’t an ability restricted to children.

        I don’t know what you’re complaining about the only people that ever read the Bible are atheists. It’s kind of hard not to be by the end of it. The religious type cherry pick their Bible verses and ignore the bits they don’t like.

          Atheism is fine. It’s when you insist that every instance and utterance of religion is evil and can’t help but to bash Christianity every chance you get.

          I’m literally not even a Christian, I’m not offended. I just am so tired of these tropes, they were lame on reddit and they’re lame here

            This is an article about a man who spends his professional life, and position of power within the education system, to force his religion onto the public. This is where you should expect criticisms of his religion.
