Recently, [my 15 year old son]had asked me to get him some books at the library to read and so I did. About a week later I was going back to the library to return some books of my own and he came out to the car with the books that I had checked out for him. I said "Why are you returning them? You couldn't have finished them in such a short time" He said "Mom, I don't have time to read these books. I'm so excited about the Bible and what I'm learning, I just want to read the scriptures." We got in the car and drove to the library.
I am so excited! It was music to my ears. This is what it's all about. To have your child desire the word of God and tell you that of all the books in the world, the Bible is the most important and exciting book of all.

"Mom, none of these books had pictures of naked women like I was hoping. Until I find some, just keep thinking I'm all up in that bible thing. When I do find some naked women books.... I'll be in my room."
Sounds like a smart kid: "I'll just tell mom I'm busy reading the Bible, and she'll leave me alone to play video games, surf for online porn, jerk off, steal cars ... she'll never suspect a thing!"
DAMN. Fundie kids are so good at pulling the wool over parents' eyes. I should know, I was one for 18 years.
Yeah.. all those "bible studies" with the hotties in youth group... mmm hmmm
And all those "bike rides" that I went on for four hours...
And most of all, all those times I was in my room "reading my bible"... HAHA!

"I never have read a more sexist, homophobic, bigoted piece of text with as much sex and violence as the bible. I can understand why a male teen would eat it up. "
as a member of that demographic, I take offense at that
When I was younger, I had one of these bibles:
http://www.psalty.com/
Among the regular text, there were full-color pages where "Psalty" and his spawn talk about topics of preteen interest. Naturally, this included sex. Despite being a Christian at the time, I was far more interested in rereading that one page over and over again that I was in reading any of the rest of the book, all for the simple reason that it put the idea of sex in my mind.
At that age, it was the very idea that sex before marriage was inherently wrong and immoral that made me want to have it so badly.
*knock knock
"I'm...uh uh...reading...ah ahh ahh...The Bible! Yes, yes...The Bible! OOHHHHHHHH!"
hahahahahahahaha
Liar is my first thought. But since I'm bored...
You checked out the books for him? No wonder he doesn't want to read them. The Bible has more sex and violence than anything you could check out at the library.
don't jump to conclusion people there are 4 possibility's
1) the kid is completely brainwashed and actually reads the bible thinking it's all real ->burger flipper in the making
2)he's lying trough his teeth and has a large stash of porn hidden in his room, he needed to get the books back to the library fast cause they're covered with something...
3)he's using what he knows about his parents to get that car for his sixteenth birthday
4)he's reading the bible for the same reason one would read the silmarillion, cultural enrichment and expansion of lore-knowledge.
He said "Mom, I don't have time to read these books. I'm so excited about the Bible and what I'm learning, I just want to read the scriptures."
Please vote on the option you believe is the real truth.
[ ] 1. Lying for Jesus
[ ] 2. Son said this sarcastically, mom doesn't know what sarcasm is
[ ] 3. Child is completely fucked up.
Frankly with all the sex, violence, incest, rape, genocide, and horrible displays of amoral drunken bi-polar behavior by its central character, I find the Bible to be both a terrible work of fiction and utterly unethical to give to children.
I hope he scores the car - lots smarter than me, when I first read it I thought' 'Hm, getting out of homework, eh?'
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
