Remove the Bible from schools and celebrate pride month. Our country is being destroyed. We are upside down.

Well, the OT has some PG-13 to R stuff in it. Funny though that Utah just noticed it.

Who made up the rule in Utah forbidding vulgar and violence in books in the school district? You should be asking them what they were thinking, when they came up with that rule.

The Bible - both old and new testaments, are veritable cesspits of violence, vulgarity, rape, incest, bestiality, depraved acts of all sorts, stoning people to death, pestilence, acts of greed, political conspiracies, the promotion and celebration of slavery, and a fresh batch of "smoting" at least twice per chapter per book.

If that's not vulgarity and violence, I don't know what is. If you want vulgar/violent books banned, the Bible is the FIRST one you should put on the list. If you don't want the bible banned, then maybe - don't have that rule?

As should schools for all topics, especially sexuality.

The Book of Mormon'''s physical and sexual violence is '''not particularly graphic'''

I looked up The Book of Mormon to see how they have handled that in Utah.

With all the trash and vulgar language on prime time TV folks want to censure Bible teaching? Good grief! America is becoming the cesspit of the world. I wonder what GOD's patience limit is before he finally decides it's time to wipe Earth's slate clean and start over.
It always amazes me how STUPID supposedly well learned and supposed intelligent people can get in their arrogance.
There is still time for some, but I doubt they are smart enough yet.....or desperate enough. For some, there is not enough time to get it right.

I’ll bet they haven’t banned The Book of Mormon in Utah.

Yes I agree as we get older we all fall for religion.
“ Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”
