A local church is urging its members to permanently remove books from the Shelby County Public Library by checking them out and never returning them. The books portray gay characters and historical figures or explore LGBTQ+ themes.

Pamela Wilson Federspiel, who has been director of the library in downtown Shelbyville for 34 years, says the action is tantamount to “stealing.”

But three leaders of the Reformation Church of Shelbyville defend what they call an “act of civil disobedience.”

      They need to change the name of the “no true Scotsman” fallacy to “no true Christian” as it makes a lot more sense these days…

            Again. I don’t care that you had a wacko creationist church when you were a kid. That’s not what most Christians believe

                1. I’m not a Christian, but thanks for revealing your bigotry against Christians.
                2. The slavery being condoned was an Old Testament thing, Jesus said those rules didn’t matter anymore
