RE: A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn & should be removed from school libraries - Nately120 - 03-27-2023 Was it Pat Benetar or Joan Jett that said hell is for children? RE: A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn & should be removed from school libraries - basballguy - 03-27-2023 Doesn't this happen like every decade? Someone says the bible has porn in it, everyone mocks that person, then we move on? Quote:por·nog·ra·phy I feel pretty confident in saying this..... The bible was not written with the intent of "stimulating" a person's erotic feelings. I don't know which side of the political spectrum the person(s) claiming this is...but they're pretty stupid. If I get off on watching dogs die, that doesn't immediately make Where the Red Fern Grows pornographic material.

Love the Lord God with all your heart is the greatest. I knew you were blowing smoke. You don't love him, you fear him. You said it already, if it wasn't for the fear of God, you would be another person. You don't fear what you love.

It just says if it has anything a parent would consider unacceptable for their child. Do you want you child reading about a man offering his daughters up for rape? Or a woman who lusted after men who were hung like donkeys and ejaculated like horses? Secondly if you did get off on watching dogs die then everything that has a dog die would get you off...that makes it sexual. Just like folks in the old days used the Sears catalog to see scantily dressed women (and men, I assume). The initial product wasn't intended for that use but that's not what the law considers. For sexual descriptions and violent acts very few books would equal the bible. And that is what the good people of Utah are trying to protect their progeny from!

Just because someone CAN use it for erotic feelings doesn't make it porn (per the definition of the word). As for the law, can't speak to that...i was just going with the actual definition of the word. Not liking the contents is one thing, but claiming it to be porn is another. This is one of those things where common sense always prevails.

Song of Songs most certainly is written with the goal of promoting sexual enjoyment. You can say god had an agenda with the "MAN AND A WOMAN" and "MARRIED" aspect of it, but it's about the joy of sex.

Pffft, from a country that promotes gambling and alcohol but demonized other drugs, including a certain lovely plant? Common sense ain't so common. Don't even get me started on how I can buy a lady dinner and leverage sex, but if I cut to the chase and take Ruby Tuesday's out of it I'm suddenly breaking the law.

The bible itself was not written to induce erotic feelings. I don't know why y'all like picking up on a tiny piece of things and blowing it way out of context.

Another thing to remember is that the dictionary "definition" doesn't affect the legality of it. https://dictionary.law.com/Default.aspx?selected=1551#:~:text=pornography,all%20types%20of%20sexual%20intercourse. Quote:pornography[/url] But again this is moot because of the law. Quote:117 Section 3. Section 53G-10-103 is enacted to read: The bible is not being used for instructions as within this law so it is fair game to have pulled and examined. Of course it will pass and be put back because...religion. But it's still pretty filthy and violent.

Let's call a spade a spade and admit the Bible being "porn" is a response to the conservative drive to declare anything they want to regulate or ban as "porn" themselves. But sure, in theory liberals focusing on specific filthy aspects of the Bible is as valid as conservatives placing one line from Leviticus above damn near 9 of the 10 commandments, nay? "America First" and "protect the children" are dogwhistles that have been used for centuries to do all sorts of fake-good from giving people an excuse to ignore Hitler to demonizing the prospects of giving women the right to vote. Alas, in this country we are free to live and learn nothing.

Oh..ya for sure...my comments are purely separate from the law. RE: A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn & should be removed from school libraries - Synric - 03-27-2023 The Bible is the most easily found book for anyone who wants to read it. It doesn't need to take up space in a public school library. |
