"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Using the Bible as an implement of punishment might be something I can get behind. Seems like using it that way would never come to fruition in a way a Scripturalist would consider positive.

Suppose a Catholic priest has ever beat a small child to death with one of those big altar bibles ?? Might be worth researching for an instance . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The Bible contains a lot of neat stories about hyprocrisy, murder, rape, robbery, stealing, sex, lying, and all other assorted crimes. So a student should tell the superintendent that he wants to read about how the crazy old coot Abraham spent his life fucking his sister and ask the superintendent if he did it as well and if not, why not? After he, he believes in the Bible, doesn't he?

Pretty sure assault is assault, whether you think homosexuality is a choice or not. I wonder if people think you can beat the gay out of someone, do they also think you can beat the straight out of them?

You'd think using the bible as a moral guide would stop working once people realizes it advocates killing children at any time. Among many other things.

It is but you can get bible-thumping assholes anywhere.  That's the problem with them.  They blend in until they do something really stupid and obnoxious.

And then they whine like the fucking little babies they are.

I can see why forcing someone to read that shit would be a violation of the Geneva Convention.
