Obey the Ten Commandments, except when you're lying and stealing for Jesus. Pastor Keeler: How many LGBTQ adults are there in Shelbeyville, Murfreesboro, or the entire Nashville region that became gay or trans due to children's books that gave them representation? How many grew up without that representation? How many straight relationships in books did you read that made you straight? The answer to all of those questions is zero. It didn't happen before there were books representing LGBTQ kids, it won't happen now that there are those books.
Quit burning books. That's some straight up Nazi shit.
Throughout history, βbook burnersβ have not fared well. The act itself is driven by fear and ignorance.
βThe unifying factor between all types of purposeful book-burners in the 20th century is that the perpetrators feel like victims, even if theyβre the ones in power.β
Books may get burned, but the IDEAS are still out there ... and I've yet to discover so much as one way to utterly destroy an idea, whether good or bad.
This reminds me of my college student days back in the 1980's in northwestern Louisiana. Practically all the nearby towns with libraries & the university library as well had ALL books on human sexuality missing, plus a lot of the science books. I assumed it was churchlings trying to suppress knowledge. I decided to test this theory spending every weekend during a summer at the local town library during open hours. My procedure involved verifying the location the specific books before library opening & again the next day. For this I got the cooperation of the nice librarian lady who like me was mystified at the loses. And I got to determine human sexuality books tended to get disappeared on Saturdays, which was the days when a group of Southern Baptshits came to the library every week. We never caught them taking the books, but its an uncanny coincidence that every time the Baptshits came books disappeared. The librarian lady took the matter to her superiors. Nothing happened & weeks later she was fired. The next librarian was a Baptshit himself & not friendly to me. For 4yrs I donated books to replace the losses, but as a poor student I couldn't donate enough - they got disappeared faster than I could donate. The last book I donated disappeared the day after I donated it. With that I gave up. Churchlings are a PITA to deal with. They're full of Assholiness.
As if the world needed another example of why no one should ever delegate their thinking to the clergy. He would steal these books from public libraries, yet expose children to the grotesque stories of the Old Testament presented as fact. Nothing terrifies a religious extremist quite like critical thinking.
I bet their libraries have plenty of Christian themed books. You donβt see atheists running around trying to tell the library to pull those off the shelves because the library is indoctrinating children, pushing an agenda, or grooming children. Why? Because we have critical thinking skills and know that books being available in the library is just having books available and not pushing them on people. The libraryβs only agenda is to provide access to knowledge. Which is what these preachers are really afraid of. The entire idea of religion is based on peopleβs need for explanations for the world around them, and religion came up with an answer to the questions that the folks running religion found profitable. But they know that if people keep learning they canβt continue to profit from their facile answers. Profit and power are mutually inclusive.
"Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and tortuous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel"
Projection is their reality. They are grooming children to believe wild stories about talking snakes, stoning women for not bleeding on their wedding night, condoning slavery, genocide of neighboring tribes, believing that the Earth is only 6,000 years old and worst of all to believe things on βfaithβ without evidence or good reason because it is in some ancient book or some man in a robe says its true.
Yeah, the βearth is 6000 years oldβ thing requires heavy duty willful ignorance to be considered true, no matter what a personβs views on religion are.
They really believe Iron-Age/Bronze-Age science. Nothing about brain wiring. No book can turn someone who is truly Straight Gay and no book can turn someone who is truly Gay Straight. The only people who can truly choose to be one or the other are Bi people... and there are a lot of frustrated Bi people who forced themselves into the Straight mold in compliance with these authoritarian religions - including a lot of these F***ed up preachers.
I tried to be straight because thanks to the mindset I was raised in I just assumed it wasn't optional. That everyone automatically got married to someone of the opposite gender and then had kids. My attempts at dating made me absolutely miserable and anxious. If, as a kid, I had had access to media explaining what asexuality is, I never would have gone through that ordeal.
Hope and faith are both based on wishful thinking. Hope is when you wish something were true and you know it isnβt, but maybe, some day, just possibly, it MIGHT be. Faith is when you want something to be true and, despite the complete absence of evidence, you believe that it already IS.
Hope is useful. It can help you strive to get the thing hoped for. Faith is harmful. It can undermine critical thinking and get you to think unreal things to be the Truth.
"These books are written for children, and if you have the Holy Spirit of God in you, you ought to be filled with righteous indignation that books like these are being pushed through your library. "
You don't say? Shocking. Children should read something wholesome like the bible, right?
Genesis 19:30-38
βBehold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.β So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father."
Ezekiel 23:20
"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."
Iβm not a reader of whatever Bible version is currently circulating in crappy hotel nightstands, BUT JFC! That lay with my father shit is really in there? Unfathomable!
In the Genese Eve is the transgender clone of Adam and they were the first humans. With whom their sons fathered children ? And, I will have to invoke NOGODZPEDIA for confirmation, aren't Abraham and Sarah half-siblings ?
Not to mention which Eve's own son Cain supposedly fathered the next generation of humans. With whom, do you suppose? Well, who all was available to choose from?
Pretty sure neither clone nor trans is the intended reading by the authors. That's trying to force a description of a divine miracle to be a description of some 21st century genetic experiment.
I like to travel and hadn't seen a gideon bible in hotel rooms for years, but there was one in german and english in my hotel in Austria not long ago. As an ex-fundy, a recovering-fundy, it freaked me out so, shall we say, a public litter bin nearby got heavier that day. Then I had a conscience about it, so when on my first cruise trip, I found a bible in my cabin, and my steward asking me if I needed anything. I handed it to him and said I couldn't have it in my cabin for 10 days. He must have been used to passengers making strange requests, but wonder if he'd ever had that one before, especially from a very conventional-looking elderly, grey-haired brit! (He was from Mumbai.)
You should have just gotten rid of it. For years I replaced Gideon bibles with copies of "Letter to a Christian Nation", "The End of Faith", "The Missionary Position: Mother Theresa in Theory & Practice", "god is Not Great", "The god Delusion", "Outgrowing god", "Why I am Not a Christian", or "Does god Get Diarrhea?". Unfortunately, I don't have the DEEP POCKETS religionites have, so I stopped. After all, I get heavily taxed because I'm not a gazillionaires, nor am tax exempt as churche$ are.
Yeah, that was unbelievable, talk about blaming the victims. (Who he kept in a cave telling them civilization was gone and they were the only survivors. When they were not, the lying pos.)
One look at that guy and his porn mustache, and I can hear a tape going on in his head: reject! Deflect! Project!
Letβs get rid of uncle Tomβs cabin! in it, good Christians are described as owning people and defending the owning of people. Surely, good Christians wouldnβt own other people?
I donβt have much this morning. These people just wear me out with their never-ending moral panics. They get panicked about everything except whatβs important.
SIX news stories from the last two days:
Evan Alexander Geeslin of Indiana: huge Trump supporter and anti-pedophilia warrior. Youβll never guess what he was arrested for.
Bryan Crabtree, youth pastor at sulphur spring christian church. He wasnβt arrested this year, but last year. He was sentenced this year. Go Bryan! Oh, wait. You are!
Ross Denzer-Johnson of minnesota: teacher and youth pastor, he was arrested iand charged with three counts of molesting in a kid under 14. He admits there may have been more,, but he really canβt remember how many there were. I can answer that question: MORE.
Neal Harrison Creecy: arrested in Las Vegas as part of a child sex thing. Pastor at Redemption Church.
David Daniels, lead pastor of Central Bible church in Texas: resigned for reasons of moral failures. One hint is that itβs all about his alleged porn addiction. But there are intimations of even darker sexual sin questions, but who knows if itβs a live boy or a dead girl they were talking about, or simply watching pictures that he shouldnβt.
Mid-America Reformed Seminary Vice President for Advancement Michael Deckinga, 41, is being held at the Hammond, Indiana, city jail: and what is this Sterling example of moral rectitude being held for? Distribution of child pornography.
So, as far as I can tell, the current score for just the last two days is Christians five, drag queens zero.
And also meanwhile: Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein. And Epstein Epsteining Epsteinly.
I've been following daily news about pedophiles since 1987. I guesstimate in about 95% of cases it involves religionites and/or Republikan$. The correlation is so strong its become a kind of joke to me:
"Once AGAIN, yet ANOTHER pedophile is caught. Is the pedophile ___?
A- RELIGIOU$
B- REPUBLIKAN
C- BOTH
Hint: Only 1 answer is correct, all others only half correct."
I use this joke to taunt churchlings & Trumplings. To the point its been a moneymaker in bets. So far I've won about $700 betting with Trumpling/churchling relatives, co-workers & once even with a fellow train rider -- that any random pedophile in the newspaper is Republikan and/or religiou$. So far I have not lost a bet.
Not surprisingly, it doesnβt surprise me. I think in 2023, there were something like 300 in the new stories I came across: arrested, convicted, or sentenced.
Personally I think the answer is more along the lines of authoritarians and hyper conservative Christians. Both seem to me to be very tightly wound.
Before this pathetic kkkrister stunt, how many folks in that community had any idea these books even existed, let alone were in their public library? Streisand anyone?
Back in the 80's, Lake City Florida banned a textbook that had excerpts from Lysistrata. Suddenly a play no one had likely heard of before was the most sought-after reading material in town.
I hope something similar happens in Shelbyville and the popularity of LGBTQ books goes through the roof.
Commandment 8. You shall not steal, unless it is literature about a subject you are in denial about.
Commandment 9. You shall not bear false witness, unless it is about someone you don't like. And if you are a Republican President, you get up to 50 free lies a day.
I went down to the library yesterday and met with the director. I gave her $500 to cover the cost of the books, which they had already ordered. They have a board meeting (non public) in the next several days to discuss remedies with an attorney.
I've been keeping an eye on this group for at least three years on Facebook because I have been concerned about their activities. They have been active protestors at women's clinic, drag shows and even at the fall fest in Cynthiana where there is a "Witches Day Out" dance, which the community loves. In this current political environment, these church members feel quite emboldened to break the law and use their god as a defense. They are just bullies.
One possible remedy to consider is some e-library partnership whereby your library members get free access to these books online. Online libraries exist, which allow temporary downloads, I'm just not sure of their rules for membership. But if you can make access simple/easy through a partnership, then they have the huge advantage that one person checking out a book doesn't prevent another person from checking it out at the same time.
From what I remember of the library I went to, the borrower or the librarian had to enter the name and the library card number. Only 5 virtual copies of a same book could be borrowed and you could borrow from any library who was part of the same web. The rest of the conditions were the same as those for physical books, except the book was automatically erased from.your device once the time to give it back had expired.
Isn't that the same book that says it's a good thing to get your dad drunk and get pregnant from him? With the long form erotic poem in the middle? And the ghost sex?
Can you please find some other spokespeople. Every time, one of you complains about how the gays are coming after the kids, the person speaking looks like they have to legally stay at least 500 yards away from any school, playground or library. It's distracting. I want to point out how hypocritical this stance is, when the bible openly advocates selling your daughter to into sexual slavery, but his sex-dungeon from IKEA office is too distracting. I want to comment that 'abstinence-only sex' education doesn't lower the teen pregnancy rate, and often leads to situations were sexual assault victims are shamed into silence, but then I see his mustache. And then I have to waste my time, by pointing out that that mustache alone, is on the sexual offenders registry. So please, Christians, next time you want to complain about drag queens, or the gays or anything like that, don't select someone who looks like they have been kicked out of every petting zoo in a tri-state area. I want to actually talk about the damages your ideology causes and not the fact that your spokespeople look like they would be on a poor man's Epstein list.

Yeah, the βearth is 6000 years oldβ thing requires heavy duty willful ignorance to be considered true, no matter what a personβs views on religion are.
It also requires complete denial of credible evidence that confirms the world to be billions of years old.
When will you get it ? The absence of a fossile of the breeding between a T-Rex and a Chihuahua is the proof that evolution is fake news !!!

Not to mention which Eve's own son Cain supposedly fathered the next generation of humans. With whom, do you suppose? Well, who all was available to choose from?

"Books containing stories of six-year-olds performing oral sex."
That's the real reason a pastor would want these books.
Sounds like ecclesiastical fapping material to me!
The library has one book that talks about the emissions of donkeys.
Isn't that the same book that says it's a good thing to get your dad drunk and get pregnant from him? With the long form erotic poem in the middle? And the ghost sex?

So please, Christians, next time you want to complain about drag queens, or the gays or anything like that, don't select someone who looks like they have been kicked out of every petting zoo in a tri-state area. I want to actually talk about the damages your ideology causes and not the fact that your spokespeople look like they would be on a poor man's Epstein list.
Thank you for your time,
Holytape.
I'm still waiting on genuine evidence of THE FIRST TIME the "gays are coming after the kids." And my suspicion is that I will be waiting a while...
If girls didn't try to take underpaid jobs men don't want, good christians wouldn't have to keep them pregnant and chained to the stove.
You can't expect a good Christian man to make a sandwich, can you?
Or a bigot catholic woman, aka paternal grandmother.
Jesus' words are an okay spokesperson. It's just that the rules they want to impose don't follow those words.

Ex-priest found guilty of 17 indecent assaults. This is from the scandal that broke here in the UK in 1995. It took 30 years for justice to arrive.
And I'm betting that ex-priest is not a drag queen. Do I win?
