GOP lawmaker very sad Utah parent used his law to request sex-ridden Bible be removed from school
Responding to a new law allowing for "pornographic" books to be removed from school libraries, a Utah parent has moved to have "one of the most sex-ridden books around" removed as well, namely, the Bible.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the parent, who remains unidentified for privacy reasons, submitted their challenge on Dec. 11 along with an eight-page list of passages from the Bible that they found to be offensive and worth reviewing.
Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide, the parent wrote in their request. Youll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has no serious values for minors because its pornographic by our new definition.

Reason's logic restores. Reason is freedom.
Delusional diatribes destroy.
Delusion is death.
Malice and Delusion are mankind's eternal foes.
May reason rule.

(11,098 posts)It's a reach, but see Ezekiel 16:17.
"You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them."

(9,893 posts)you make the male idol and then rent it out for use. Maybe that's what the parent had in mind who got the teacher fired for showing the kids David.

Why didn't Mary just come clean and say that she was raped? That would have saved this world 2,000 years+ of mayhem and murder.

(50,557 posts)76-10-1227. Indecent public displays -- Definitions.
//removed the specific definitions which would turn this into a disallowed Sex Thread//
(2)
(a) Subject to Subsection (2)(c), this section and Section 76-10-1228 do not apply to any material which, when taken as a whole, has serious value for minors.
(b) As used in Subsection (2)(a), "serious value" means having serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors, taking into consideration the ages of all minors who could be exposed to the material.
(c) A description or depiction of illicit sex or sexual immorality as defined in Subsection (1)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) has no serious value for minors.
Please note (2)(c). The Bible is FULL of that kind of stuff - Lot's daughters getting him drunk and raping him two nights in a row certainly qualifies - so yeah, under this definition the Bible is a smut book.
