Let me preface by saying I believe in God and speak to Him or Her on a fairly regular basis...

that said, if those evil hags at Moms For Liberty want to start banning books due to being sexually offensive or age inappropriate, then the book known as The Old Testament better be on that list. Here are some highlights--

--David perving and watching Bathsheba bathe and then successfully plotting the death of her husband because, as the kids say, he had to get up in dat...

--Lot's daughters apparently got dear old Dad drunk AF and decided to, as the kids say, ride that thang...

--David and Jonathan, heir to King Saul of Judea, had an extremely ambiguous relationship (remember the part when Prince J strips down M'er-F'ing naked in front of David and gave him all his stuff?). Additionally, there was a roughly 10 year age gap between the 2 [about 30 for D & 18/19 for J]--David being the older. (Huh? What was that? Did one of you just whisper "groomer"?)

So, if Hags For Authoritarianism want to encourage book banning and possibly book burning, then fine. However, like I said, the OT better be on the list because by HFA's own criteria, the Old Testament is both extremely offensive to children & super inappropriate for them to be reading.

Just saying...

You know, Ms Eva...now that I go back & read what I wrote, King David sounds like a bit of a ho.
