Passages, mind you, not the book itself.
If they read the whole thing kids might figure out that “Christian Nationalists” are everything Jesus was against.
You could also just go with some of the teachings of Jesus. Like love thy neighbour, that was a pretty big one. Pretty sure he said not to be a judgemental belled too, probably paraphrasing a bit with that one.
Those aren’t the values conservatives are talking about
Well then they are not very good Christians
Generally wouldn’t consider mass delusion good either way.
Yeah, I really think promoting Christianity by leadership living Christian values by example would work. Unfortunately for them their conservative brainrot is really far from Christianity…
To be fair, having a cross as your religious symbol tends to attract a death cult
When I was a kid I was forced into church and Christian school. I was required to read the Bible every day of the week.
This was how I realized it was all bullshit. I believed fully in God until about age 12 or so, when I completed my first pass of the Bible.
It really is the fastest way to make average intelligence or higher Christians shed their faith.
Thats why they will only memorise a few passages and not actually study it academically.
I live over in Arkansas where they’ve mandated 12 commandments (and I get to see them every day, working in a school) and let me tell you, they don’t have the intended effect, unless the intended effect is driving people further away from Christianity in droves by making a show of forcing it down everyone’s throat. So, sure, whatever Texas, breed us some angry atheists in a generation.
edit: We did away with all the woke commandments and added Stand your Ground, Prosperity Gospel, Hungry Kids Are Just Lazy, and Charter Schools as White as Snow
Wait, what are the two that they added?
Freedom is slavery.
War is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
God is power.
God’s lost commandments
(go watch moral orel)
The Table of Commandments has expanded over the years, as new commandments have been found, and also made up.
Maybe the poophole loophole
Worship Thy Leader, and Strength Through Superior Firepower.
I’m fuckin’ dyin’ here lol.
I read the bible a bit in my youth. Wasn’t Christian before, wasn’t Christian after. If anything it left me wonder about the sanity of the authors…
U see ur not the target audience it’d about indoctrination of children before they know what they are doing. Same as the pledge of allegiance.
I hope the smart kids will pick out the passages that will contradict texas mores.
Reading about the USA really is incredibly depressing. I just look at news articles like this, and wonder how things ever got so bad.
Our democracy got hacked. You just can’t have billionaires and democracy long term
It’s not hacked. Our government is working exactly as intended: for the benefit of the owning class and reinforcement of their hierarchical control over society.
These problems have been brewing since before we were a country. Turns out you can’t make a system that panders to racist slavers without substantial consequences.
The cracks were always there, but it’s like global warming. Decades and decades of people ringing the alarm bell and warning signs before things come to the natural conclusion
We’re getting real close to the find out part of both issues
You wonder?
Religious people should be put in camps and be deprogrammed from their insane cult.
Secular rehabilitation camp (SRC for short)
There’s an old saying: “If I owned Hell and Texas, I’d rent out Texas and live in Hell.”
It’d be cooler anyway.
I’m sure that having it assigned in school will make religion cool again for the next generation ;P
Starting with elementary school children is quite literally the fear-mongering indoctrination that the far right always bitches about Democrats doing.
It’s always projection.
Still think yall are the land of the free?
I suspect none of those will be Matthew 25:31-46
Of course, yes, Matthew 25:31-46!
Gotta love when people cite chapter and verse of the bibke and expect everyone else to know what the fuck they’re referring to.
31 When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
that’s nothing compared to Matthew 21:17 tho
To be fair, that one COULD be interpreted as pretty bigoted towards goats… 😁
Come to think of it, though, that’s far from the only time. I guess the drunk and high monks who wrote the bible just really didn’t like goats 🤷🏻
Maybe it’s because the eyes aren’t “human”.
Could be…if not for the fact that sheep eyes are like that too.
And those weirdos loved sheep SO much 😄
There’s Freedom …and then there’s Texas.
Of course it’s Texas. It’s a shithole state.
Surely not long now, until they add the Book of Trump to the Bible.
They taught my child about angels, Moses, and Noah in history class. But there was one question on the review about Mohammed, so you couldn’t say they were only teaching Christianity. So aways, I moved the fuck out of that state and my kids are receiving a wonderful education in Connecticut where they teach things like critical thinking and dealing with emotions and that everyone is welcome regardless of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation.
It would seem that Texas wants to tell the world what complete backward small minded fucks they are.
