39 responses to MS lawmakers want to make Bible ‘official book’
Gina Bousquet February 16th, 2016 at 16:01
Mississippi lawmakers apparently ignore the Constitution. The bible is the official book of Christianity. Period. What kind of Democratic representatives are these?
Great Idea….let’s add the Talmud, Koran, Teachings of the Buddha and Krishna, Greek and Roman Mythology, and something Zen….it would be a great collection…we could call it a library…..
Well that state scores as one of the lowest in yearly tests. If you want any sensible legislation to be debated in that state, they would have to outsource their politicians from another state, otherwise this is the type of laws we should expect.
“believes the Bible promotes compassion.”
Uh huh, all those passages about killing all the men and boys and women (except virgins to keep as sex slaves); destroying the world with a flood; fire and brimstone on a couple of cities; etc.
Funny definition of compassion, don’t ya thunk?
It was also the motto of early christianity. During the ‘conversion’ of Roman Empire into the ‘Holy’ Roman Empire, Charlemagne used that tactic to convert the Pagans to the Catholic Church.
And it’s why a lot of pagan deities and holidays were given new names (or traditional Christian holidays were moved to around the same time as Pagan ones and given Pagan symbols) to encourage said Pagans to convert… which may have been a better alternative to what awaited them if they didn’t: rape, torture, and (inevitably) death.
there were no original writers of what you refer to as the bible – it’s a collection of folk tales from a wandering group of marauders who are still marauding.
the benign glow on the faces of xians is disturbing – it’s as if they live in a bubble bath and do nothing but fondle themselves. What else could produce such bland irrelevance?

Good possibility all the books you mentioned are hidden behind “modesty curtains” like some grocery stores do with Cosmopolitan.

Have they been listening to themselves lately? There form of christian compassion is to condem and kill “non-believers.
TiredOldGuy February 16th, 2016 at 17:15
Convert or be killed.
Isn’t that the motto of some group already over there?

And you are being very gentle with that post.

This is a fetishistic treatment of the Bible that the original writers surely didn’t intend.
fahvel February 17th, 2016 at 04:22

Dwendt44 February 17th, 2016 at 11:37
AND most of those tales, fables and myths were copied from other older religions.
