    “It just makes sense to have the Word of God in our school library,” she continued. “After all, it is the book of wisdom. It is the bestselling book of all time; it is historically accurate, scientifically sound, and most importantly, life-changing.”

    Fuck me, that’s hilarious. It’s like she took a list of common criticisms of the Bible and then went, actually, it is exactly that which you guys say it’s not.

      Meaningless word salad for “my team is better than your team”. Until we stop playing team sports, this never resolves. They’re going to redefine everything so that it all adds up to “my team is best”.

      I wonder - has she never learned anything about science, or, is she completely ignorant to what her favorite book contains?

        I feel like she’d say anything, if it’s just positively connoted. If the young generation decided that books are great when they’re deep-fried, she’d hold up a bible that’s very clearly not deep-fried and tell you that it is.
