As more and more states pass laws targeting “pornographic material” in books and online, they are repeatedly running up against a problem: The Bible has not just a few passages that could be considered indecent

      my public highschool library did not feature any religious texts, the regular library has plenty though.

        When I was a kid I remember checking out a book from my elementary school library. My brain tells me it was called “Tales of Terror” but I haven’t found anything close with that title. It had butterflies killing people in swarms, rats eating human flesh. It was nuts.

        Well, my people found the book. They claimed they could “feel the demons crawling from the book” when they opened it. Half my damn family went to the school and went off about it.

        This comment brought that memory back for me because I remember one of them saying, “you got this filth in here but ya ain’t got the bi-buhl?!?”

        I’d love to see that book again, if only to see if it was truly as horrible as I remember.
