FOX News: Cancel Culture is Coming for Bible Characters

So they admit they're "characters"...?

• You’d think Saints Peter and Paul’s Church in San Francisco, California would have learned their lesson after hosting an indoor wedding that led to the bride, groom, and eight other guests testing positive for COVID—but they didn’t. The same church had another COVID outbreak a few weeks ago among the clergy members, resulting in the death of Father Bob Stein on Tuesday.

• Speaking of “cancel culture” and Bible characters, remember when God cancelled all but one family with a global flood…?

• The city of Versailles, Kentucky received about $1.2 million in FEMA money to build a public storm shelter, which they plan to instead use to build a church that can house people in the rare event of a storm. If your church/state-dar is going off, you’d be right—and the Freedom From Religion Foundation agrees.

  “We understand the city’s desire to build a severe weather shelter, but this purported secular goal does not excuse the fact that the government is building a new church building that will be used for religious worship, which violates taxpayers’ right to secular use of government funds,” FFRF Staff Attorney Chris Line has written to Versailles Mayor Brian Traugott. “It is also unconstitutional to use federal grant funds for this purpose, given that the severe weather shelter would also serve as the church’s sanctuary, directing federal funds directly to support religious worship.”

  …

  “The Kentucky Constitution states outright that no person may ‘be compelled to attend any place of worship, to contribute to the erection or maintenance of any such place,’” comments FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. “This unconstitutional boondoggle must be deep-sixed.”

• A reminder that “Mercury retrograde” has no bearing on your life.

  “Retrograde” is the recurring illusion of a planet moving backward across the sky, which clueless ancients thought the planets were actually doing in the firmament, as the Universe revolved around Earth.

• Evangelist Mario Murillo is very slowly working out the realization that “America is stupid,” but is still only rounding the first peak on the Dunning-Kruger scale.

• Georgia has a state law that requires public schools to begin each school day with a moment of silence of up to one minute. Weird, but okay. But if Georgia State Rep. Sharon Henderson, a Democrat, has her way, it’ll get much worse. Henderson has introduced legislation that would replace this vaguely secular quiet time with a very specific Christian prayer.

  We pray for all students, teachers, and staff who work here.
  We give You all the children who study here.
  We pray our school will be a safe place to learn great skills and talents.
  May this be a place where we love to learn and a place where we learn to love,
  A place where everyone is respected and all are deeply valued.
  Bless us to maintain good health and protect us from evil.
  We ask these blessings through Jesus Christ our Lord.
  Amen.

  The litmus test for how outrageous this bill is can easily be demonstrated to any Christian by swapping out “Jesus Christ our Lord” for “Allah.”

  Can someone please explain Christianity to me?
