Vulgar and violent?
What part of instructions for killing gays, silencing women and owning people under the threat of eternal torture is violent or vulgar!?
Oh…

I’m convinced people are just parroting their peers and haven’t read the Bible. I know I only read the parts that told me morals came from being Christian.
We don’t want to teach morals from this book, dare I say even respect it, we have nukes… why does our instruction manual have so many bad examples and information that could get us killed?

Wow, looks like Utah finally realized that “Thou shalt not kill” isn’t exactly PG-rated material. Who knew?
