National Bible Bee??? 
Those are much more sinister than you think. Those are examinations for these Christian women.
Reading the Bible is the only time off they get from working in the kitchen and other house chores.
So, after working for 12 hours in the kitchen and washing floors, these Christian women ask for a 20-minute break, and when they get a response like "What?! You harlot Jezebel! Did you just say you want to insult God with your laziness?"
"No, I meant a break so I can read the Bible."
"Oh, ok then. This is what we do now. Still, women today are so spoiled. I remember when I asked for a break so that I can give birth to my first child and quickly got smacked across my face. That was a lesson for me that God made women perfectly capable to give birth while standing and waving around with a wet broom. You just push it a few times and it comes out. So you better be reading the Bible for real, and not just staring at it while actually sleeping with your open eyes. I will examine you."
Anyway, they broke the record with the height of the Jesus statue again!
Quote:A new statue of Jesus is tallest in the world!
The 200-foot (61 meters) statue, called "Jesus Christ the Savior," has its arms outstretched at the tourist site on Sibeabea Hill, overlooking Toba Lake in Samosir Regency. While its posture is similar to Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, this latest version is a full 65 feet taller.
The inauguration ceremony was held by Indonesian Bishops' Conference president Antonius Subianto Bunjamin of Bandung. The prelate shared how the pope had blessed a miniature of the statue at the Vatican embassy in Jakarta while he was on his papal visit on September 6.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I suppose spending money on statues is better than spending it on indoctrination. We all know a culture that went sideways doing this.

The second photo in that article looks like Jesus is about to go all 'Wicker Man' on some motherfuckers.

You better choose between the Bible or NASA, boy, because only one of them leads to Jesus, and it ain't one of them fake Moon landin.

Quote:Pope criticizes Harris and Trump and tells US Catholics to choose ‘lesser evil’
Pope Francis on Friday criticized Donald Trump over his plan to deport millions of immigrants and Kamala Harris over her stance supporting abortion rights.
“You must choose the lesser evil,” he continued. “Who is the lesser evil? That lady, or that gentleman? I don’t know. Everyone, in conscience, [has to] think and do this.”
“Whether it is the one who is chasing away migrants, or the one that kills children,” said the pope. “Both are against life.”
Francis said abortion “is killing a human being”. He said there could be no excuses for an abortion. “It is an assassination,” he said. “On these things we must speak clearly. No ‘but’ or ‘however’.”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/s...n-abortion
But there isn't anything in the Bible that says that you must prevent a death by implementing state level or federal level or global level laws.
There isn't anything about abortions in the Bible, nothing about storing semen with cryogenics, nothing about storing or destroying fertilized eggs with cryogenics.
There is just a line that says "do not murder".
Do not murder who? It doesn't tell us.
Quote:The pope called immigration “a right”, citing Bible passages that call orphans, widows and foreigners three kinds of people that society must care for. “Not giving welcome to migrants is a sin,” said the pope. “It is grave.”
I doubt that anyone in this world wants to have open borders. If western countries did that, half of the rest of the world would move to western countries.
I doubt that anyone wants to not use birth control and end up with 60 children.
Welcome to the real world. A world with science and engineering and a population that is skyrocketing.
The lesser of 2 evils? Which one would a catholic choose:
the jewish god or
the satan guy

See how long it takes to clear pilgrims out of the Vatican, when they start to squat.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

That's disturbing.
