I was forced to actually read the bible in school. It successfully converted me to atheism.
To be fair, the story of the three daughters that get their geriatric father drunk and repeatedly gang rape him until they are all pregnant was particularly enlightening.
Same but the priest was actively telling us which chapter to read and which to jump. I never remembered which to jump or read so i just read everything, and i became an atheist… My mother kept telling me that to ask the priest when noting anomalies or having questions. The priest finally told me that the bible was written by humains so it doesn’t have to be read exactly and is full of mistakes. My great mother told my mother that if you don’t teach the bible properly you become an atheist like me…
I think she mean that the priest not hitting me when asking question was a mistake XD
I also had to read the bible in school, although importantly this was highschool english class, we read basically the whole thing, and it was treated similarly to other literature, it was overall very educational and important context for understanding western society. From the article it sounds like a lot of what they’re planning in Texas is to show kindergartners religious propaganda about the bible and small passages rather than giving students an unfiltered look at the full text, which seems less useful.
i like the part with balaam hitching his ass to a tree and walking a mile. also old baldy elisha and his mastery of the spell summon bear swarm. poor guy could never figure out how to cast

I prefer when a man calls bears to kill all the first sons in a village because he was called bald.
Totally normal reaction though, how dare they? He was not bald, he was temporarily optimizing for vitamin d production.
The Song of Solomon is also pretty well naughty.
Lotsa porny sex talk in that.

Where is that in the bible?
It’s the second story of Lot and his daughters, Genesis 19:30-38
The first one is in Sodom where Lot offers the selfsame daughters to people who want to rape two angels that are visiting at the time.
That family was REALLY not big on consent…
Pretty early into Genesis.
