That poor kid isn't being home "schooled," he's being home indoctrinated. If people are so afraid of opinions that differ with their own that they're not willing to even examine them, perhaps it's time they examine their beliefs and understand why they're so fragile.
Just teach your kids to have a mind of their own and question what they read, then you wont have any problems with books being in stride with what you belief.. Then again.. it'd make the whole bible thing a bit difficult to convey...
So... telling the truth about a fictional character is offensive? What next, will people be suing others because Harry Potter wears glasses? That Robb Stark has a wolf? That Lestat lusts for his mother?
I highly doubt the kid truly was disturbed by the book, but maybe? I think he didn't foresee any of this, and wishes he didn't try to get out of doing school work by disguising it as this load of bull. Although, he may well be so brainwashed, that he believes Jesus and the Bible to be true and and highly venerated to the point that any opposition is too much to bare...please.
at :53 talk about ironic... if they made a movie of the New Testament OH WAIT THEY DID and it was called The Passion of the Christ... and it was rated R AND their kid is too young to see that!!!!
I call the other book, "the unholy Buybull" it's no coincidence the bible is pronounced so closely to " BUY BULL", it's a like a sadistic joke against the dumb sheeple who believe this garbage- they are too stupid to catch onto that LOL.
Ive always said religion is for emotionally weak mentally ill people who need a santa claus in the sky to "save" them from himself and a crutch to lean on.
Turning water into wine and saying it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to get into heaven sure makes him sound like a wine guzzling socialist to me!
"Wine guzzling vagrant and precocious socialist"... They say it calls him a bum..have they every looked up the definition of precocious? Who gives a shit if it "slams" Jesus? High schoolers can handle it! You want evolution gone in place of your bullshit intelligent design and say in high school we have to debate this already won debate as "Presenting both sides" and you can't handle a fucking book with a couple lines talking down about Jesus? God damn people...
@FaganRoberts --Did I say that I saw something? Im quoting St Peter, an apostle of Christ; btw mainstream historians attest to one Jesus of Nazareth, and only a very recent and radical minority say Jesus was a myth.
@RepentAmerica454 Yep.You stated you saw/read heresay evidence for the historical existence of Jesus. Historians can attest to a Jesus figure, but they lack convincing evidence. Even if such a figure existed, which is possible, there is no evidence to support the faith based notion he was the son of any god. Jesus was either a lunatic or a legend. So far, he's a legend on par with Mithra or Thor or Osiris. All you have is faith. And one never gets to the truth through faith.
@RepentAmerica454 actually of the over 50 historians that lived in and around the time that Jesus supposedly walked the earth preforming miracles, not ONE documented this figure or even the name Jesus of Nazareth. There are a total of 3 credible historians that once mentioned the term "Christ" and NEVER the miracles everyone claims Jesus did or the disciples he traveled with. Christ just means annointed one, which refers to a king or another person put in charge of something.
@RepentAmerica454 Your last sentence here is an outright lie, since "Jesus" was known in the Gnostic Christian sect for thousands of years as MYTHOLOGY before the Romans passed the Christian Doctrines, choosing him as the person they wanted to sheep the masses
@RepentAmerica454 You're not up on simple language are you? Gnostic means Knowing. If you believe in one of the bronze age myth books, you're Gnostic. They're not some whole other religion, Gnostic simply claim to know about a higher power that exists, while Agnostics (No knowledge) claim to not know. I know what word you used and when you used it, which is why the first post actually examined how the historians never documented Jesus, and the "Recent minority myth" you talk of, existed long ago
@b33p3rz --Gnostic means "to have secret knowledge"; Christians have no secret knowledge concerning our faith. Why the urgency to "disprove" the existence of Jesus?
@RepentAmerica454 Simply, no. Gnostic is Knowledge, there's no secret involved, only secret in the sense that no one can ever prove it when it's related to religion. Christians claim to have knowledge and it can never be proven, that is in nature, "secret". There's no urgency..I'm watching videos on youtube, and I come across some kid who seems to think historians know of a guy once called Jesus of Nazereth. They don't, and the people who think it's a myth are not "Recent" or a minority.
You see this exact thing happen time and time again throughout the country, one "christian family" gets offended by something so small and insignificant that noone should have ever taken a second glance at it, and because "they" got offended they bitch and whine and cry until the school systems give in. The worst part, they almost always get their way. this being one of the rare exceptions where a school board stood their ground.
@ArseneIncubus5 Right sir. The constitution does not protect "feelings". There is no retribution because some pussy got offended. I pretty much get to say whatever I like, and if it offends someone..........to damn bad. ;)
he wouldn't be able to see the movie version? shows how irrelevant these people are in today's society. slamming Jesus isn't something that would get a movie censored anymore.
ooook people really?? seriously!!?? dont you all think its time to put the fairy tall of Jesus Christ to rest....im embarrassed for all the believers out there who are in desperate need of a science book.... its 2011 smarten the fuck up
THat son of the bitch sits there like he was molested or something. "Oh, I was offended, mommy and daddy. How will I be able to sleep at night now. Uh."
If you don't want your kid reading the book then don't fucking let them read it. Don't ruin it for the rest of the students because you find if offensive.
We should have no qualm about ridiculing the self deluded, irrational, parasitic religious. They deserve no respect, only ridicule, disdain, and contempt. It is of the utmost importance for the health of civilization to eradicate the god virus.
okay, so they pull the kid out of school and homeschool him to get him out of the school's influence. but apparently the problem isn't solved,,, now they want to regulate the teachings going on in the school when their kid is not even a student there anymore?! are you kidding me???
Frankly speaking, I think the book should be reviewed because it speaks of Jesus as if he was certainly a real person. That's probably it's biggest short-coming...
strange how we can talk smack all day about the other 1000 gods of myth, but if we talk about jesus, it should be banned.. more neo-con fanatical christian discrimination and hate..
Its a book. Retards one and all. Again, its a book. With words in it. When you are young you should read as much as possible to widen your mind before it is to late.
Mat 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.'
Mat 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Christians need to get over it
The bible is the most immoral and hateful book ever written. Deutoronomy 22: If a man is married to a woman and he discovers that she is not a virgin, she is to be taken to her fathers door and stoned to death. There are many such barbaric and discusting passages being taught to our children.
If we are ever to advance as a viable and moral civilization we must stop teaching the ancient myths and superstitions of our early ancestors to our youth.
This is why we don't want religion expressed in public places like schools. Christians have the right to call homosexuals "sinful faggots", they want to be able to pray in school out loud, they want their religion taught in school even though they already have churches,...but when a person speaks against their religion they're offended, they're "suppressed".
@LegionIscariot It is NOT true that Christians want their religion taught in pubic schools. We certainly do have the right to call something sinful and pray out loud in the public square just like you have the right to express opposing views (although I strongly do not approve of the word "faggot" towards gay people or anyone else) This whole problem could be easily resolved by giving parents the option of opting-out their kids from reading the book.
When I was in high school, my english teacher gave us a book that my mother found quite offensive so they gave me a different book to study. That's the right way to handle something like this.
How's this for "Anti-Capitalism": "It is easier for a camel to get into the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god."- Jesus of flippin' Nazareth!
The fact that they were offended by the book calling Jesus a socialist, just goes to show they don't know that much about their religion. They probably blindly follow Rush Limpdick's show or something
@entwistlemoon Jesus is talking about how wealth can effect a person spiritually. He's NOT challenging your right to make and hold wealth. Also keep in mind that the power of God can get ANYTHING through the eye of a needle.
it quite frankly doesnt matter who it offends, im offended by the bibles notion that all human beings are worthy of eternal torture but i aint gonna try and ban the stupid fairytale
its been a few of months since this happened,these parents kid was in my personal finance class and when he stopped coming we all just assumed he drpped the class,but no his parents pulled him out of school. our class never focused on the religion in this book,we never focused on the swears.my entire class,and almost evryone in our school was outraged that they pulled this book off the shelves,don't think that just because we have one family in bedford who beleives in censorship we all do
i love how no one can study the poor working class of this country in a holistic manner without being labeled as "anti-capitalists". It's like when kids have the dogmatic argument "you're an idiot, no you are". As for the language... or whatever... yes that may be appropriate reason not to teach it in a high school. "we cant teach the kids anything that questions the status quo because obtaining critical reason is a baaaaad thing." pfffffff
What they fail to realize is that Jesus was a communist, probably the first communist. If you read the sermon on the mount and the moral code of the founder of Communism, you would find they are identical. Also if you read the book of Acts, you would find that Paul and the apostles created a communistic community where private ownership was abolished and wealth was shared and money was distributed to each according to their deeds.
Since when is 'precocious socialist' synonymous with being a bum? I read Nickel and Dimed when I was in BHS's Personal Finance class and I have yet to burn any churches
@Ironfistconsumerist The bible is not a book I would place in child's hands. In fact, if I had my way, I would prosecute anyone who handed it to them as severely as you would for handing a child porn. Neither of which are even close to the severity of buying kids cigarettes.....lol?
only in america.. get a f*cking grip, theres no reason to believe jesus did anything else but drink , theres no evidence to support that jesus was even a man! that is how stupid this belief is. taking people to court over a book because it states things that simply cannot be refuted by evidence. hesus may have been a nice person or a drunk , the only way to find out is to go into the past and to ask her
@JRSnodgrassOfficial " In fairness, Jesus was a socialist. Christians would know that if they ever read the bible. "
xtians are not known for their fairness nor their ability to read AND understand. They are historically and presently, to be fair, known for their savagery. E.g., xtians keep telling our children that they are born really really bad and have only a 5% chance of fixing the problem. Yeah, that's the ticket to a healthy society. Thanks for your comment.
It's one book on a reading list. Here in Canada, we have a book by Timothy Findley in which the main character gets raped. Yes, it's graphic, but it's just literature.
Lol they want it gone even though the merit outweighs the bad. Is funny the christians are against that considering they use that same logic to promote the bible. They ignore or omit all the murder, genocide, slavery, honor rape, animal sacrifice, and pagan rituals because they say the general message of love outweighs the bad. They don't have the right to reject it on that principle. People like this make my head hurt.
When someone works for less pay than she can live on she has made a great sacrifice for you The working poor are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone
The book is about Orwellian economics which keep people dumb and poor. The criticism of religion is how faith is used. Now I think they are making something out of nothing. If you have a problem read the book if you don't like it read something else. I mean kids need to be exposed to lots of ideas and they should question the world they're being raised in. I hate how Fox News doesn't even go into the details of what the book is about but focus on 2 lines on Jesus when the message is so much more
I read this book awhile ago and don't recall Jesus even being mentioned. So they found one line where she was being sarcastic and now they want to ban the book? I think that's an excuse, and they want to ban it because it might make their kids realize that it's hard being poor and hey maybe welfare isn't so bad.
Jesus was gay and he hung out with his 12 boyfriends, and one chick (who was known for her "pegging" abilities).The group paraded themselves in sandals and dresses. with long hair, from city to city. They liked to oil their feet, and kissed each other and dined on fish, artisan bread, and wine...I think the devil was Jesus' ex-boyfriend who was a little jealous Jesus could move on so fast with so many.
I the story of Jesus is so weak that you can't question it? Religion all religion should be questioned. Sencership is wrong and you don't have a right not to be offended. How will this kid make it in life if he is alowed to run anytime someone has the opposite opinion.
I thought Atheists didn't want religion taught in their schools? Or is religion as a topic only acceptable when it is mocked, or when religious people are offended?
Sounds like you guys have some serious personal problems.
Most of you radical atheists are no different from radical Christians who need to offend somebody in the name of your beliefs.
Why are Christians responsible for defending Muhammad and Islam? Using your logic, maybe you should be defending these Christians. But being the moron you are, you probably didn't think about that.
Speaking of Muhammad in a negative way or depicting him has caused violent protests and even murders by outraged Muslims. This is what you want Christians defending? Seriously, you are a douchebag.
@OCPRS I was merely stating that if you want someone to respect your belief in a deity they you should respect other people's beliefs in other deities. I don't care either way. Christians are responsible for many wars and other atrocities which by comparison are incredibly worse than anything the muslims have pretty much ever done.
yeah, I'm sorry but if you make a movie based on the bible... quoting it, it would most certainly be rated mature... anyway, even christians must learn to live with other people criticising them and their religion since they often turn to such means towards atheists or muslims. hopefully not all christians are as hypocritic as Fox News and their fucktard friends...
So if you're offended by a book, can't you just...not read the book? Why do these people ALWAYS insist on regulating what everyone else can do because of their own personal feelings? I'm offended by Glenn Beck. Can I get him banned?
@AceSkepTik This is a book apparently being taught in a school. Obviously, it is impractical to simply not read it, since that would result in a failing grade.
Well, the book is obviously not worth the paper its printed on, if you can't get by in America, you fail at life. Ripping on jesus is probably the only good line in the whole book.
You definitely shouldn't take finance lessons from anyone on a public salary.
There needs to be an immigration exchange program. All these people who "can't get by in America" sign up, and they trade places with people from other countries who want to come here. Then everybody will be happy. :)
That's actually a really good book. The religious references are extremely tangential to the point, and if we take the Bible as an accurate depiction of Jesus' life, he was obviously a socialist and a vagrant. The bible even has him drinking wine, though he was apparently not any kind of alcoholic. The one line they quote and object to seems to be pretty accurate.
But that wasn't the point of the book at all. It is about an american system that keeps the poor from any chance of success.
See? It's not good enough for these people just to home school their own kid because of their narrow-minded nonsense; they have to try and make sure that NO students can read the book. Knowledge naturally expands; the days of "See Jane Run" are over. We're going to either have to become more sophisticated than this, or start wearing swastika armbands...
Screw them these people are freaks. They should be taking out to sea and drowned for the betterment of all mankind. I don't want to know that that whining baby retard is wondering the streets of my world looking to be offended by everything that touches his precious jes, and his parents ought to be ashamed of themselves. They would be if they weren't cretins. Fuck these christains.
I read Nickel and Dimed a few years ago and don't even remember the line about Jesus. The book is about low income jobs, not religion. These right wing creationists cannot stand to hear about the need for labor reform in this country. They do not care about the poor.
oh wah, the kid probably didn't even give a shit.
and yet we still have under god in the pledge, and bible club meetings in school being shoved down out throats. cry me a river.

Why should someone not read a book, only because he does not agree with it.
It always is interesting to hear/read a new opinion, even, if i do not agree with it ...
"Always listen to the other side" once was said by cato. "Test everything. " is said in the bible itself ( 1. thess 5:21).

Frankly speaking, I think the book should be reviewed because it speaks of Jesus as if he was certainly a real person. That's probably it's biggest short-coming...

The bible is the most immoral and hateful book ever written. Deutoronomy 22: If a man is married to a woman and he discovers that she is not a virgin, she is to be taken to her fathers door and stoned to death. There are many such barbaric and discusting passages being taught to our children.
If we are ever to advance as a viable and moral civilization we must stop teaching the ancient myths and superstitions of our early ancestors to our youth.

This is why we don't want religion expressed in public places like schools. Christians have the right to call homosexuals "sinful faggots", they want to be able to pray in school out loud, they want their religion taught in school even though they already have churches,...but when a person speaks against their religion they're offended, they're "suppressed".

@LegionIscariot It is NOT true that Christians want their religion taught in pubic schools. We certainly do have the right to call something sinful and pray out loud in the public square just like you have the right to express opposing views (although I strongly do not approve of the word "faggot" towards gay people or anyone else) This whole problem could be easily resolved by giving parents the option of opting-out their kids from reading the book.

How's this for "Anti-Capitalism": "It is easier for a camel to get into the eye of a needle, than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god."- Jesus of flippin' Nazareth!
The fact that they were offended by the book calling Jesus a socialist, just goes to show they don't know that much about their religion. They probably blindly follow Rush Limpdick's show or something

What they fail to realize is that Jesus was a communist, probably the first communist. If you read the sermon on the mount and the moral code of the founder of Communism, you would find they are identical. Also if you read the book of Acts, you would find that Paul and the apostles created a communistic community where private ownership was abolished and wealth was shared and money was distributed to each according to their deeds.

When someone works for less pay than she can live on she has made a great sacrifice for you The working poor are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone
DarkMagus1985 11 months ago
The book is about Orwellian economics which keep people dumb and poor. The criticism of religion is how faith is used. Now I think they are making something out of nothing. If you have a problem read the book if you don't like it read something else. I mean kids need to be exposed to lots of ideas and they should question the world they're being raised in. I hate how Fox News doesn't even go into the details of what the book is about but focus on 2 lines on Jesus when the message is so much more

Jesus was gay and he hung out with his 12 boyfriends, and one chick (who was known for her "pegging" abilities).The group paraded themselves in sandals and dresses. with long hair, from city to city. They liked to oil their feet, and kissed each other and dined on fish, artisan bread, and wine...I think the devil was Jesus' ex-boyfriend who was a little jealous Jesus could move on so fast with so many.

Why are Christians responsible for defending Muhammad and Islam? Using your logic, maybe you should be defending these Christians. But being the moron you are, you probably didn't think about that.
Speaking of Muhammad in a negative way or depicting him has caused violent protests and even murders by outraged Muslims. This is what you want Christians defending? Seriously, you are a douchebag.

That's actually a really good book. The religious references are extremely tangential to the point, and if we take the Bible as an accurate depiction of Jesus' life, he was obviously a socialist and a vagrant. The bible even has him drinking wine, though he was apparently not any kind of alcoholic. The one line they quote and object to seems to be pretty accurate.
But that wasn't the point of the book at all. It is about an american system that keeps the poor from any chance of success.
