Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Solomon 4:5-6
It's aboutta get spicy in Oklahoma
Damn I didn't know it said I come in the bible
I grew up pretty Christian. That particular section (or book) has some pretty spicy stuff in it. There's also other questionable sexual stuff in other areas. Like you're supposed to impregnate your brother's widow if they die without an heir, polygamy etc ... It's a book that's incredible forward thinking for it's time, but it's time was like 6,000 years ago.
Oh man there is a ton of crazy sex in the Bible.
King David getting wood looking at one of his general's wives bathing on the rooftop and starts an affair that would eventually split the kingdom of Israel in half and start a war between brothers.
Onan refusing to impregnante his dead brother's widow and being struck dead for pulling out.
And don't even get me started on the incest...
I'm sure there are not many PG ways to interpret this passage but if there was it's not going to come from a teacher with no background in theology. The best part of this silly mandate is that teachers apparently have free reign to make the Bible say whatever they want. Make Jesus sound like the compassionate socialist he actually is.
I'd teach all the raping and incest and send homework in which parents need to participate finding the answers.
A statistics class where your grade is determined by "drawing lots" as it shows God's desired grade....
pretty sure oklahoma will be nonplussed regarding incest.
Do you think the repugnicunts that pushed this through want anyone learning about the_real_ Jesus?
Nope, it's Supply Side Jesus they'll be teaching.

It has come to our attention that some of our staff have been teaching Bible verses out of context. This has made some parents, particularly our esteemed LEOs, uncomfortable.
I hereby remind you that your contract binds you to a strict adherence to the Chart of Christian Values of Springfield and the Glorious State of Oklahoma.
For your next mandatory Bible Reading Session, please make sure to select passages that are in-line with those values.
Kind Regards,
LOL, wait till you read Ezekial 23:20 - There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
check out all the different ways they paraphrase donkey dick:

Oh yes, the Bible says Big Dicks are the Best!
the bible endorses donkey junk literacy :D
What we need are drag queens reciting these verses to children instead of that smut like Charlotte's Web. That should make conservatives rejoice.
That might be a little bit too much"on the nose". But maybe the slaughtering of a live animal as a sacrifice would be more fun.
Let's be real, conservatives don't actually do "Bible stuff."
Unfortunately true too often.
