There is coming a day, maybe before the tribulation, where Churches will be closed and the Bible declared illegal as a "hate document".
Satan is predictable.

Would the day come after the tribulation? Cause, you know, if it did...that would be kinda pointless, innit? And, considering, at least biblically, that Satan only ever follows orders from your skydaddy, then yeah, he is fairly predictable!
Well, it IS technically a hate document, but I wouldn't want it banned. The lesson from history is that banning books only works as an endorsement of their contents.
As for the Satan comment, I'm not quite sure where the link between your first statement and that one fits. Apart from the fact that both are entirely incorrect, I'm completely confused as to what your point is.
If we banned the bibble, how could we demonstrate the contradictions and mistakes and outright viciousness of the bibble gawd? I mean, it's not like fundies ever bother to read the thing, is it?
In my country, we have that nasty old First Amendment, defended by the Christ-hating liberals at the ACLU, so that you can go to church and read the Bible. Maybe Satan isn't quite so predictable as you thought.
In fact, I highly recommend that you exercise your right to read the Bible. It worked for me (insert EAC-approved villain laugh here).
I don't want churches closed, I just want them to stop trying to rule our countries.
I don't want the bible banned, on the contrary, we should discuss it openly and understand how ordinary it is as a fairy tale.
In the US, we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, both of which are protected wholeheartedly by *gasp!* those ebil libruls at the ACLU.
Anyone who would actually WANT to ban any religion or book is just as bad as anyone who would want to enforce a state religion.
Ban the Bible? No. Just bar those who espouse strong beliefs that an invisible man whispers into their ear at all times from any position requiring psychiatric stability. I'd be as happy about handing a schizophrenic a firearm as I would be someone who believes that death sends them to the happy place and their enemies to the hot place. Both of them are about as liable to make poor trigger decisions. And really, I'm all for churches closing on their own poor business merits; What exactly do they produce that's of value to the economy? In an ideal world, they would be taxed on the same level as any other home or business.

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
