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...
But do you know what it does portray as a good thing? Slavery!
Also no. It allowed servitude to pay off debts, but all debts were supposed to be forgiven after 7 years, and so it was strictly limited.
Where do you think the ideas that all humans are equal and deserve equal rights that reduced slavery in modern times come from?
- It allowed servitude to pay off debts
so, debt slavery?
Technically servitude is not the same as slavery, but still bad.
Considering that until 300 years ago most people considered slavery to be a natural right, a 3000 years old law limiting it to at most 7 years was VERY progressive.
but its practically the same thing. how progressive of the bible.
In that temporal and geographic context, yes, very much.
