No state would ever convict a child. Except maybe Texas.
- Clancy Wiggum, circa 1996
Ahhh yes, Genesis 19:33-36, Genesis 38:2, Ezekiel 23:20… lots of classics for the kids to enjoy!
There’s an old saying: “If I owned Hell and Texas, I’d rent out Texas and live in Hell.”
It’d be cooler anyway.
Still think yall are the land of the free?
Starting with elementary school children is quite literally the fear-mongering indoctrination that the far right always bitches about Democrats doing.
It’s always projection.
Of course it’s Texas. It’s a shithole state.
I’m sure that having it assigned in school will make religion cool again for the next generation ;P
There’s Freedom …and then there’s Texas.
And to think that some of my family firmly and fully believes that Christians are the most persecuted people in the entire country.
Of course they are super persecuted. Just look at how so many people have a problem with them putting bible studies in public school! No one else suffers like that! /s
I hope the smart kids will pick out the passages that will contradict texas mores.
It would seem that Texas wants to tell the world what complete backward small minded fucks they are.
Passages, mind you, not the book itself.
If they read the whole thing kids might figure out that “Christian Nationalists” are everything Jesus was against.
When I was a kid I was forced into church and Christian school. I was required to read the Bible every day of the week.
This was how I realized it was all bullshit. I believed fully in God until about age 12 or so, when I completed my first pass of the Bible.
It really is the fastest way to make average intelligence or higher Christians shed their faith.
Thats why they will only memorise a few passages and not actually study it academically.
You could also just go with some of the teachings of Jesus. Like love thy neighbour, that was a pretty big one. Pretty sure he said not to be a judgemental belled too, probably paraphrasing a bit with that one.
Those aren’t the values conservatives are talking about
Well then they are not very good Christians
Generally wouldn’t consider mass delusion good either way.
Yeah, I really think promoting Christianity by leadership living Christian values by example would work. Unfortunately for them their conservative brainrot is really far from Christianity…
To be fair, having a cross as your religious symbol tends to attract a death cult
I live over in Arkansas where they’ve mandated 12 commandments (and I get to see them every day, working in a school) and let me tell you, they don’t have the intended effect, unless the intended effect is driving people further away from Christianity in droves by making a show of forcing it down everyone’s throat. So, sure, whatever Texas, breed us some angry atheists in a generation.
edit: We did away with all the woke commandments and added Stand your Ground, Prosperity Gospel, Hungry Kids Are Just Lazy, and Charter Schools as White as Snow
Wait, what are the two that they added?
Freedom is slavery.
War is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
God is power.
God’s lost commandments
(go watch moral orel)
The Table of Commandments has expanded over the years, as new commandments have been found, and also made up.
Maybe the poophole loophole
I’m fuckin’ dyin’ here lol.
I read the bible a bit in my youth. Wasn’t Christian before, wasn’t Christian after. If anything it left me wonder about the sanity of the authors…
U see ur not the target audience it’d about indoctrination of children before they know what they are doing. Same as the pledge of allegiance.
Ah yes, cause everything I was forced to do against my will in school totally became cool and fun once I grew up. /s
Surely not long now, until they add the Book of Trump to the Bible.
