But those book bans...
(lemmy.world)
In case anyone is wondering what the book is!
Oh, I see, good idea for a book!
It’s one of the weird cognitive dissonances that I grew up with from the Christian church as a kid. They would say these things so casually, but then refuse to talk about sex or bodies. It’s just… bizarre. And took some unpacking and unlearning to get to a healthy place about bodies.
Why is body related violence so casually referred to, even in children’s books, but then they try to breeze past the weird sex stories in there at the same time.
It was just… weird. It’s still weird. I can’t help but shake my head and thank my lucky stars I got out of there when I did, right at the beginning of adulthood.
Same reason that jokes about prison rape is acceptable to virtually everyone: it's happening to someone who "deserves" it.
Pretty fucked up.

I always thought it was weird that they temporarily cut the skin off of their forehead until I was nineteen and wondered why I had a line on my genitals where the color suddenly changed. Turns out I had been circumcized as an infant.

Sorta like how everybody in America is totally fine showing kids movies where the characters violently fight and die, but God forbid they see a bare breast (like they fed on as babies).

I wonder if this book has the one about the dad who gets drunk with his two daughters and fucks them
The two daughters who PURPOSEFULLY get their dad drunk and then have sex with him so that they get pregnant. If I recall correctly. Which I hope I do not.
Yeah the daughters are the rapists in that story. Unlike the other one where the father hands over his daughters to be raped
Okay I’m familiar with the story already, but I have several questions about the images here

I think that's the same story...
No, in the other story some angels visited a guy, and they were so pretty that the townspeople wanted to duck them. He gave the mob his daughters to be raped instead of the angels.
The book is messed up.
Yes, Lot was that guy.
He offered up his "virgin daughters" but the crowd wanted some of that sweet angel man meat instead. Lot, was a resident of Sodom.
The crowd of men wanting to fuck a male angel rather than Lot's daughters is why Sodomy was named such. Note that that wasn't the crime that doomed Sodom and Gomorrah. That was Abraham (Lot's Uncle) deciding that both cities were wicked.
Lot and two of his daughters fled the city, his wife didn't make it on account of being turned into a pillar of salt for the crime of looking back at the city being destroyed.
Then his daughters suddenly decided that their grieving father should have a male heir and that they have to provide, seeing as how their mother was dead.
The resulting sons would then go on to found the kingdoms of Moab and Ammon. (in what's now modern day Jordan).
The bible has some fucked up shit.

Also, he realized what was happening and pulled out, spilling his seed on the ground and so God punished him for not inseminating his daughters
That's a different dude. Onan.
Lot didn't pull out and the daughters got pregnant.

You know, I always have been suspicious of that history, I mean he was so "drunk" that he didn't know what happened?, but have you ever tried having sex drunk? Shit is impossible!, why do you think the term whiskey dick exist?
So I'm suspicious of this Lot "I want to fuck my daughters and I will use the most flimsy excuse in this bronze era shithole" of Haram
David is on that foreskillionaire grindset
If you grind foreskins, they become worthless. You have to polish them, by hand.
Just don't polish each one more than 3 times, or else you're playing with them.

Gotta love corpse genital mutilation to be awarded a human being
No fewer than*
I can accept children being taught about collecting foreskins, but I will not abide poor grammar!

This seems like the kind of book to finally have an appropriate number of animal and human corpses bobbing around in the water around Noah’s ark. Such a great story to decorate baby’s bedroom with!
Why did he need to kill them to get their foreskins?
In a sense, he didn't! In fact the context of the story is that they couldn't be converted (which is why they still had foreskins), and had he successfully converted them, they would have given up their foreskins as part of the process. But since they refused to convert, he "converted" them anyway. Either way, a W for daddy king over there, and also a partial genocide for David. The guy really fell off after the thing with the giant.

Awarded the princess, that is some very disconcerting and objectifying wording
Women used to be considered chattel.
Are you suggesting we rewrite the bible? Surely god would be PC if he wanted to be.

Does it have the one where the guy chopped up his dead concubine and sent pieces to the tribes of Israel, who then wipe out the tribe of Benjamin and made men marry the women so the tribe wouldn't be gone?
For going above and beyond in his foreskin collection duties, King Saul rewarded David not only with his daughters hand in marriage, but also with no less than 500 chopped up hot dog weiners! David was so overcome with gratitude that he tripped and spilled them all over the floor, and everyone in the throne room awkwardly pretended not to notice as he scooped them up off the dirty ground... for to waste the Kings Weiners was considered an insult punishable by death
The context being that Saul thought David would be killed by the Philistines, because he didn't want David to marry any of his daughters and thought David was poor.
Ah yes the ol' Penis Chopping King, everyone loved him
