Bible now on "Banned Books List" in Canada

#1

… they don’t really have a “Banned Books List” in Canada. Actually this case is more interesting than simply being a “Banned Book” … One can sell the book, purchase the book, read the book, think about the book but can not “speak” (is quoting in print ‘speaking’?) about the book. Can one “talk” about the book under certain circumstances … say at Church? What is apparently “banned” is/are certain kinds/types of expressions about what one has read. This is indeed a strange kind of “censorship”.

think about this situation for a moment … If one writes a certain bible verse or verses on a piece of poster board and simply stands outside a church is one in violation of the “law”? … standing outside a school? … standing outside a grocery store? … standing in a public park? … standing outside a known gathering place for LGBTQ xyz abc 123s? Hmmmmm. Under this “law” is meaning (and offence) totally determined by some public social machine context? Looking like a slippery slope …

The goal to stamp out ‘superstition’ that contradicts rational thinking was launched long ago…it just takes time. Maybe a UFO with an alien will do the trick.

… Wow! … it is so obvious we must eliminate any “religious” or “spiritual” speech in the name of, as you say, stamping out “superstition” in all forms. No Christianity, no Islam, no Judaism, no Anthroposophy, no Caseyism, no New Ageism, … All religious and spiritual buildings, publishers, bookstores must be razed. … Esalen must go … any kind of religious “hardware” can no longer be manufactured … museums must be purged of any thing even resembling representations that could conceivably be perceived as anything “religious” or “spiritual” … oh hell, lets just do away with all art … a much easier task than determining whether or not there is anything “religious” or “spiritual” about an artwork, all literature and poetry must be subjected to Fahrenheit 451, … there is so much to do to cleanse the world of all this superstition … yes, yes, you are correct this must be done as soon as possible for the good of Personkind or Selveskind. Can I say Personkind or Selveskind? Apologies if those terms are offensive to anyone.
