Rightwing groups across US push new bans to limit ‘obscene’ books in libraries
I heard there’s one book in there that talks about a pair of sisters who get their father drunk so they can take turns raping him. Are they banning that one?
wow, the bible is fucked up.
The Bible doesn't portray it as a good thing, and considers their descendants cursed.
A large portion of the Bible is: "here's all the ways people can be nasty, don't be like them".
edit: I seem to have missed the context of book bannings...
Have you read that steamy story about how Lot’s two daughters drugged him and rode their father’s cock?
So appropriate for kids.
Exactly the one I'm taking about.
So which of the banned books are you saying should be banned?
I'm not supporting banning books, just pointing that the Bible itself considers the events of that story bad.
Well, that depends on how you interpret it. I’d say quite a number of people interpret it incorrectly.
Within the story itself it doesn't show judgement, just "it happened", but later on the descendents of Lot's daughters are considered cursed peoples.
If there's criticism to be made to the story is that it may have been written this way to justify the Israelites being racist against their cousins.
I think more likely it was that fucking your dad got retarded kids who were cursed, so don’t fuck your daddy.
Leave it to the religious morons to interpret this as a way to kill someone. Trash.
A single generation of incest is usually not enough to cause bad effects, and anyway it's an at least 3000 years old story, that's what people "knew" at the time.
And this behavior is not exclusive to "religious" people, the nominally atheist USSR did very similar.
wtf are you on about? USSR? What on earth do they have anything to do with this?
Either way, this 3000 year old book needs to be put to pasture.
Just an example of not needing to be religious to create stupid justifications to kill people.
And what was the USSR’s stupid reason to kill people that relates to people using a book of fiction stories as a way to justify killing whomever they want?
So which books on that list do you think should be banned from libraries? The gay ones? The trans ones? Harry Potter?
My point is that people do it because they are people, not because they are religious.
I don't support banning any books.
It doesn’t matter to book-banners whether or not the thing they don’t like is portrayed as positive or negative. Just the fact that it’s there is enough for them.
