Is it the same reason that Harry-Potter books are banned from some US libraries and schools, and all private education facilities in United Arab Emirates?
I’m just asking.
Viagra is for the treatment of inability to get or keep an erection and similar states when erection is of low quality. When you buy remedies like cialis from canada you should know about cialis online canada. It may have a lot of brands, but only one ATC Code. Erectile disfunction, defined as the persistent impossibility to maintain a satisfactory hard-on, affects an estimated 15 to 30 millions men in the America alone. Sexual heartiness is an substantial part of a man’s life, no question his age etc.
Logic fail.
LOL! Love it!
yeah, all you have to google is things countries ban and you get a list of video games, movies, etc.nice try, sad, but nice try.
Well, a “myth” generally has quite a bit more weight to it than just any old “made up story”.
These folks obviously haven’t read much Joseph Campbell.
LOL! Another good point!
Good point! But when the brain is in the off position it doesn’t check facts, sources, or ifit’s making a good argument!
Sadly, most people see nothing wrong with this…and they VOTE!
Hmm. Interesting question. I am guessing, mind you, that it has something to do with Islam?

Perhaps these books are banned for reasons other than religious ones, yes? Not all of them have something to do with witchcraft or some other topic that can be used to mock the Fundies. There’s more to this than knee-jerk reasoning.
That’s kind of the point, though.
The sign creators here want to use the fact that the Bible has been banned in a lot of places as proof of its power, or evidence that it must not be “just a myth”, if you like.
However, lots of other less-powerful books have been banned in lots of places, so this argument just doesn’t make logical sense–I mean, they’re probably not using this line of reasoning to argue that Captain Underpants is real, right?
This isn’t a “mock the fundies” thing, this is a “pointing out faulty logic” thing.
@Abby,
I came back and read your comments. Then looked again at the sign. Then read all the other comments. Then looked again at the sign. Then it hit me-
You’re right. I am accustomed to coming here to JNNPR and seeing Mr. Turner point out something regarding the Fundamentalist folks with an accompanying picture and then the pile-up begins of people laughing and all agreeing that Fundies, especially IFB types, are silly and mock-worthy.
So when I saw it was a Baptist church in the picture, my mind shut-off to other possibilities and I presumed Mr. Turner was again seeking to simply be satirically clever and have a good laugh. I simpler terms, I jumped the gun and made an erroneous presumption. I read what the sign said, but I didn’t ‘see’ it. Does that make sense?
Like I said, you’re right. Next time I will more patiently consider m words. Thanks for pointing it out to me, Abby.
Solid!
Very telling that the Baptists have fallen into the very common and prevalent lexical trap of equating “myth” with “lie”.
When did it become the job of people who follow Jesus the Christ to judge other Christians? IDK, something about a “plank” and a “speck” comes to mind.
It is certainly right
