Links provided - and ignored by delusional conservatives - dozens of times; you're on your own now.
Pointing out that you're a homophobe, or that many conservatives are delusional, is a factual observation, not name-calling.
Be sure to tell us when you find someone saying these books should be forbidden for everyone and all existing copies destroyed. THEN you can complain about a ban. Until then, all you have is parents wanting some control over what their young children are exposed to. That's not banning.play games all you want.
Its about controlling people, just as the woman's choice issue is. No one is advocating porn in libraries or schools for children.
Of course parents should be concerned what children are exposed to, but the banning shit is about ideas. Uncomfortable ideas. and when these new generations of children become adults, there will be hell to pay when they get exposed to the world outside the rightwing bubbles.

Words mean things.
Numerous cites, references and links posted here by several posters:I just looked through all 5 pages of this topic and you didn't post 1 single link to your proof the bible encourages children being raped and murdered and tortured.

Did I say you were?How do you know I'm a homophobe?
Did I say you were?And delusional how so?
Opinions?Those are opinions, not proveable facts.
Holy crap dude.If they are facts then provide your imperical evidence that proves it as a fact.
You're right - from now on I'm going to say Taliban.Be sure to tell us when you find someone saying these books should be forbidden for everyone and all existing copies destroyed. THEN you can complain about a ban. Until then, all you have is parents wanting some control over what their young children are exposed to. That's not banning.

Talibanned then.When "banned" books can be delivered to your house, in many cases in less than a day, they are not banned books.
I demanded he offer proof of it Book, chapter and verse. He's just talking like any unregenerate sinner would.Where is that glorified in the Bible?
^ Another conservative Christian who doesn't know what's in the Bible, and wouldn't read any of the dozen of cites, links, and references provided.I demanded he offer proof of it Book, chapter and verse. He's just talking like any unregenerate sinner would.
IOW, you're still trying to say somebody's banning books when they're not. That's dishonest.You're right - from now on I'm going to say Taliban.
Taliban yourself all you want.
Stop Talibanning books that trigger your same sex feels.
The question to ask them is, do history books glorify the deaths of thousands of men, women and children when they talk about how the US destroyed Germany and Japan in WWII? They hate context.I demanded he offer proof of it Book, chapter and verse. He's just talking like any unregenerate sinner would.
Boy, I'm glad that's not going on. That would be bad.The authoritarian right’s efforts to ban books will ultimately fail – the same is true of the right’s war on facts and the truth.

Listen to the exact words in the exact books Democrats want in our public school libraries
No elected Democrat has spoken out about this, which can only lead to the assumption that they approve of it.
Or you can read numerous other threads here, this thread, or Google, or read the Bible for more info.
But you won't do any of these things because you're choosing to remain in denial.
And that's fine - Taliban yourself all you want.
Just stop trying to Taliban the rest of us.
Did I say you were?
I've lost track...
Maybe you're confusing the use of "you."
Did I say you were?
Again, lost track.
Maybe you're confusing the use of "you."
Opinions?
On a chatboard?
Holy crap dude.
Just readja Bible & calm down.
If their standard was valid, we wouldn't have history books about WWII.The Bible speaks of a lot of terrible things as lessons on what not to do. You can't teach morality without giving examples of what is immoral, such as doing bad things to children.
But the bible certainly doesn't condone those things or encourage it as you suggest. There is a reason why multiple times in the Bible it specifically says not to do bad things to children.
11 Bible Verses about Harming Children
11 Top bible verses about Harming Children, with videos, images and related topics. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.bibleportal.com
Everything else you said is just dismissive and doesn't actually say anything in direct response to what I said. You spent a lot of time and effort to not actually say anything.
Banning as described.IOW, you're still trying to say somebody's banning books when they're not.
You're driven by delusion, so I understand.That's dishonest.
Yes.The Bible speaks of a lot of terrible things as lessons on what not to do.
Sadly, the Bible glories these things, and makes the perpetrators heroes.You can't teach morality without giving examples of what is immoral, such as doing bad things to children.
It normalizes and glorifies the rape, torture and murder of children.But the bible certainly doesn't condone those things or encourage it as you suggest.
The Bible can be at odds with itself.There is a reason why multiple times in the Bible it specifically says not to do bad things to children.

So here's the thing, Res...Everything else you said is just dismissive and doesn't actually say anything in direct response to what I said.
See above, and have the courage to look at your own behavior.You spent a lot of time and effort to not actually say anything.
Can you link to a currently respected history book which glorifies the rape, torture and murder of children?If their standard was valid, we wouldn't have history books about WWII.
Yes.
Sadly, the Bible glories these things, and makes the perpetrators heroes.
It normalizes and glorifies the rape, torture and murder of children.
Adults may be able to cope with this, but it's not for under 12s.
The Bible can be at odds with itself.
But I don't want it, and its glorification of the rape, torture and murder of children banned.
I just don't think it's appropriate for under 12s.
So here's the thing, Res...
You've called me out for stating the obvious, which is that these bans - or Talibans - are based in homophobic delusion.
What you have NOT done is call out your fellow conservatives for saying HUNDREDS of times that anyone who opposes their Talibanic homophobia is a pedophile/groomer.
This conservative behavior is leaps and bounds worse, but not a peep out of you.
Your selective outrage thus destroys your credibility and feigned reason.
I hope you appreciate my direct response, but something tells me you won't.
See above, and have the courage to look at your own behavior.
It does; I thought you knew the Bible...?No the Bible doesn't make rapists and murders into heroes.
You don't own a Bible?You need to provide direct links to all of these raping murdering heroes the bibles praises so much.
See above.Linking to a thread with over 2000 posts in it isn't providing evidence
Massively.No they aren't influenced by homophobia at all.
So no Bible, etc. for under 12s?They are purely based on the idea children don't need to know about these things yet and it's the parents decision on when to introduce them to it.
Selective outrage.I have yet to express outrage. I didn't curse, didn't call names, didn't resort to immature anything, didn't even type in all caps.
What you do in your own home is your business.The Bible can be for people under 12.
Sunday School.Has been for a very very long time. It's called Sunday school where the children learn about the Bible in ways they can understand and appreciate due to their immaturity of being children.
Books like the Bible - and many others - are not appropriate for under 12s, agreed.The same immaturity that should be kept in consideration when putting books in front of them about gay sex
Explain how parents not wanting their kids exposed to certain books while they're young means the books are banned.Banning as described.
You're driven by delusion, so I understand.
I hope you'll stop Talibanning - maybe actually read one of the books you want banned?.
It does; I thought you knew the Bible...?
You don't own a Bible?
See above.
Massively.
So no Bible, etc. for under 12s?
Agreed.
Selective outrage.
You call me out, but not those engaging in vastly more outrageous behavior.
Your selective outrage is showing, Res.
What you do in your own home is your business.
But a book which glorifies the rape, torture and murder of children is, IMHO, not appropriate for under 12s.
Sunday School.
Can be a very scary place.
Books like the Bible - and many others - are not appropriate for under 12s, agreed.
