In a previous post I noted about how the ACLU went after the Gideons and a judge said that the bible is an "instrument of religion" which is why she thinks the bible should be banned from distribution. And as I was thinking about the reason the bible is being "banned from distribution" I had a few thoughts concerning what else we should "ban" because the item is an "instrument of religion".
How about we ban every single religious book ever written for starters. We can ban the book of Mormon, all of the Jehovah's Witnesses books and magazines, the Koran, all New Age writings, as well as everything that is used within religious services, including all of those hymn books.
We can ban grape juice and wine, bread wafers and all crackers. We should also ban rosary beads and kleenex for when people cry at religious funerals. Afterall, that kleenex is being used in a religious ceremony and is therefore "an instrument of religion".
OH, and let us not forget to ban the bombing materials of the militant Muslims, Hindus and others. As well as their swords they use for beheading Christians. We also cannot forget to ban the headscarves of the women or the belts that hold on the bombs these religious people use as their "instruments of religion".
In fact, why don't we just ban whole nations altogether and wipe them off the face of the earth...OH wait, sorry some people actually want to do that with Israel because they are God's people.
And of course, as you may guess, I'm poking at the ludicriousness of this idea of banning the bible as an "instrument of religion" because you bet that if it was anything I mentioned above, the media would be tripping over their spilt milk on their way to their computers and television prompters to decry and denouce the idiocy of the ban.
Afterall, grape juice is good for the heart isn't it? And we need those big swords to chop down trees. It wouldn't be fair to ban these things. Yet, when one nutty judge says that the bible should be banned because it's an instrument of religion - people actually want to do it! There is something seriously wrong with this picture...don't ya think?
