Creaky Blinder -- Ban the Bible: The Rise of Religious Bigotry

.



The Washington Examiner recently published an article covering an atheist who is calling on Florida to ban the Bible from schools. But our friends at Answers In Genisis, think he proves his own argument to be incorrect but in reality, the entire video is filled with contradictions and bigotry hence the name Ban the Bible: The Rise of Religious Bigotry.


Original OP locked in The DU Lounge due to religious content.

To most 'Christians', mainstream and evangelical, the Bible is a buffet of tales and can be cherry-picked at will.

Believe the parts you like and ignore the rest.

One major example of that is divorce.

Jesus was very specific and vocal about divorce, remarriage, and adultery.

There are very few churches that practice what Jesus spake.

The Bible...However will politicians show they is good Christians with a bible to wave around when they are fund raising and spewing their self righteous bs. Here in Okie land every politician thumps his bible when spouting their nonsense. The sheep here think that waving the Bible around makes the politicians some kind of good guy....when a lot of them are hypocrites but have the voting sheep fooled.
