A local church is urging its members to permanently remove books from the Shelby County Public Library by checking them out and never returning them. The books portray gay characters and historical figures or explore LGBTQ+ themes.

Pamela Wilson Federspiel, who has been director of the library in downtown Shelbyville for 34 years, says the action is tantamount to “stealing.”

But three leaders of the Reformation Church of Shelbyville defend what they call an “act of civil disobedience.”

    If it’s religious, yeah, it’s theft. These assholes happily break every commandments they have “in the name of Christ”

    Why is it always always the religious that really truly fuck everyone else over?

    I’m at the point where if someone claims to be religious that I’m just assuming they’ll rape their children because chances are big that they do.

    It takes religion to make a good man do terrible deeds.

    Mankind will never be free until the last politician is strangled with the robes of the last priest
