Lmao at C.S Lewis “promoting mysticism” he was so fucking Christian literally every book he ever wrote is about being Christian and shit
Idk how A Wrinkle in Time is “occult” or whatever I seem to remember it being kind of Christian actually 🤔
And Where the Sidewalk Ends has got to be one of the most charming and harmless books there is
“Encouraging children to use violence against their fathers” okay that’s fucking hilarious
Damn Where the Sidewalk Ends is a lot more hardcore than I remember
banning the lion the witch and the wardrobe is literally like banning the bible
fuckin hilarious
This Christian book contains mysticism!
Early Christians: :side-eye-1: :side-eye-2:
They said it couldn’t be done, that without organized religion we would leave all that silliness behind.
Continuing our national tradition of moral panics, synthesizing it with edgy internet atheism;
I humbly present to you
Secular Satanic Panic:amerikkka-clap:
It’s almost like religion isn’t the cause of the problem, but an interwoven aspect of society which has been affected by and caused problems as a result of cultural ideas and practices which it can sustain but is also largely affected by.
:surprised-pika:
being disrespectful to god by having talking animals
:floppy-parrot:
The Bible is full of weird shit that talks. Lest they forget the talking snake that kickstarts the whole shebang, regardless of it being Satan’s vent doll.
vent
:among-drip:
remember when ventrilo was a thing?
:chomsky-yes-honey: i remember arguing over whether vent was better than teamspeak
At least some of those reasons are likely fake. “Depicting women in strong leadership positions” is a little too on the nose, but it could still be real. But “being anti-logging” is silly and “encouraging violence against fathers” for Hop on Pop is downright parody. And the one for I am Jazz reads like someone transitioning from parody to just plain criticism (of the book banners, that is).
"Encouraging violence against fathers” for Hop on Pop
As a father of kids who do in fact like to hop on pop, I get this one.
