[ihaveaquestion]

I swear religion, especially "Christianity," is a symptom or major indicator of low IQ and/or mental illness.

1. Praise Jaheeesus!✋🏻

Notice I used the whitest raised hand?

[erronis]

10. And it is a right hand!

At least the thumb makes it look that way.

[Traildogbob]

12. Very observant!

[sakabatou]

2. I'll assume she's never read the books she wants to ban

4. Thank you!

[Jacson6]

6. Unbelievable. What if those two men had killed her?

I remember a Law & Order TV show where a mother hired a man to kidnap her daughter. He turned out to be a sex offender and raped a killed the teenage child.

9. Whoa, that could be a season of Fargo

[Woodwizard]

18. Thank you

I love the part where the father said she was sheltered and needed to know about evil.

Well she found it all right.

5. These people are raving lunatics, especially her mother.

[Emile]

7. Religiously insane

8. Why is it always some backward, red state? Always.

Tammi Hamby is the one with "intellectual disabilities."

Now, I could get really mean and say all this "intellectual disability" business is probably due to the inbreeding, but that's an old trope and I won't go there.

Instead, I'll posit something even more inflammatory, as I'm in a bit of an inflammatory mood this morning (my better half would say...this morning?). Fundy Xtians should have their children taken away as a matter of course. Why? Simply put, the mere act of being fundy Xitans is evidence enough that they're a danger to they're children developmentally and physically. I know the fundy conspiracy-sphere gets all hopped up and sweaty about just that, but really, it isn't a bad idea.

[erronis]

11. Keep on inflaming!

[twodogsbarking]

13. I can't watch. I already can't unsee her face.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. hem.

[barbtries]

15. great to see the Friendly Atheist on DU!

I watch him regularly.

thank you

[valleyrogue]

17. He is pretty good. The story is way more complicated than the title suggests.

Friendly Atheist does do the research on the topics.

[valleyrogue]

16. She didn't actually "ban" those books but got them put in another section of the library.

However, she is still a POS because she masterminded a kidnapping of her disabled daughter.

Disgusting.

[Ilsa]

19. There are plenty of scary movies out there about

women trusting strangers. Did she try a few of those first?

[TexasBushwhacker]

20. Sounds like the daughter isn't the only one

with intellectual disabilities. Geez! Just turn off the Internet!

[riversedge]

21. Lots of bigoted idiots in this USA!!
