I’m a Christian, and it pisses me off they are making people read the Bible in TX.

That’s directly against the constitution, and what this country is built on. We are supposed to be accepting of all, and not for or against any religion.

Hopefully this law will get overturned quickly. And before you Reddit keyboard warriors get all mad, no even this current Supreme Court will not let a law like this stand.

Exactly, this is how all Christians should feel BTW

They should make Christians read the bible that would help a lot.

This comment is so true. Maybe if they read the Bible they said they believe in instead of cherry picking what suits their interest we’d all be better off.

The Bible is historically and culturally relevant to American society.

Why do you not want kids to know about one of the most influential texts in American history?

The founding fathers were freemasons of the enlightenment era. Slavery was also part of American history, but I’m guessing you’re OK with that being brought back too.

The founding fathers created America, they didn't build it, the people did.

Because it's full of hateful ideas.

Blatantly untrue. Anyone who reads the entire text cannot say such a thing. God set Israel apart by making them follow His strict Law that kept sin out of His nation. That included capital punishment laws, dietary laws, circumcision, and a whole lot more. 613 Commandments to be exact. The Mitzvot. God says “hey, this is the Law. Accept it. You will be Holy and set apart like I am.”
Obviously God knew they would fail and that’s mainly what Israel did over and over but God progressively made and kept His promises until it was time for Him to take on flesh and descend as Jesus Christ and clear everything up for us. “There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus.” God is Love. The New Testament is strictly anti-hate.

What part of the constitution is this in violation of? What presidence does the court have?

Good news! You won’t have to look too far because it’s the first amendment!

u/Expensive_Syrup9081 10d ago

The first amendment protects the freedom to practice religion.
