    Ezekiel 23:20-21

    She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey’s and emissions like those of a horse. And so, Oholibah, you relived your former days as a young girl in Egypt, when you first allowed your breasts to be fondled.

    Good thing they have clear standards!

    Religious texts, such as the Bible, will be allowed on the shelves.

    … as most of the books Nicolaides said he was looking to take off shelves deal with 2SLGBTQ+ subject matter.

    Have the Satanic Temple republish those books so they remain accessible.

      I’m actually surprised they haven’t done something like that.

      We’re republishing Looking For Alaska, as it’s now a holy text that teaches our disciples about loss and grief.

    The Bible contains stories of rape, incest, murder, torture, dashing babies heads on rocks, prostitution, and more. Ban the Bible.

      How did it go again… “I know pornography when I see it.”, wasn’t it?

      Which, honestly, is actually rather impressive as far as non-answers to things in general go in that it not only made the speaker simultaneously sound both like a condescending prick AND some sort-of super creepy dude who is waaaay too into porn, all while assuring us that these qualities gave them the necessary authority to… Identify porn, I guess? Ya know, like that wood book fellow
