Alright, it’s pretty clear that we’re just going in circles here and arguing with you is pointless to say the least.
Yo DO know that the books they are trying to ban are basically fetish porn in comic format, right? If you can’t tell the difference between that and a Bible, I really can’t help you.
It’s clearly a reference to the previous sentence. Basically, if you violate the statue without the presence of minors, you are barred from public events for two years, if minors are present, you are barred for five.
Again, read the article.
Anyone who violates the new ordinance is barred from hosting public events or selling goods and services at public events for two years. Anyone who violates the ordinance “in the presence of minors” is barred for five years.
They don’t kick you out of town. They just ban you from hosting public events or selling goods and services at public events. You’re acting like they’re planning to send gay people to the camps.
Are there graphic pictures of sexual behavior in any Bibles? We’re talking about a single verse in a 1000+ page book. Assuming any child would even read that far is quite a stretch.
Murfreesboro passed an ordinance in June banning “indecent behavior,” including “indecent exposure, public indecency, lewd behavior, nudity or sexual conduct.” […] The city code states that sexual conduct includes homosexuality.
Read the article. The law is not limited to homosexual displays.
Are you saying there is no difference at all between a book that praises and encourages such things and one that reprimands it?
“Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you, From whom you have alienated yourself, And I will bring them against you from every side: The Babylonians, All the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, All the Assyrians with them, All of them desirable young men, Governors and rulers, Captains and men of renown, All of them riding on horses. And they shall come against you With chariots, wagons, and war-horses, With a horde of people. They shall array against you Buckler, shield, and helmet all around. ‘I will delegate judgment to them, And they shall judge you according to their judgments. I will set My jealousy against you, And they shall deal furiously with you; They shall remove your nose and your ears, And your remnant shall fall by the sword; They shall take your sons and your daughters, And your remnant shall be devoured by fire. They shall also strip you of your clothes And take away your beautiful jewelry. ‘Thus I will make you cease your lewdness and your harlotry Brought from the land of Egypt, So that you will not lift your eyes to them, Nor remember Egypt anymore.’

There is no explicit depiction of sexual activity in the Bible. Ezekiel 23:20 is probably the most lewd verse in the entire Bible, and it is roundly condemned as sinful and inappropriate in the following verses.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.
An imagined scenario would be worse than reality
I would have no problem with making those age restricted, if that’s what you mean (after the all, the city is only banning the distribution of these materials to minors). We already do that with violent movies, after all.
But the Bible explicitly condemns most of these things (except the God-ordained genocide in the Pentateuch I guess). It’s a bit of an oversimplification to compare that to books that explicitly condone and encourage sexually deviant behavior.
That’s in Ezekiel (23:20), not Song of Songs.
Still no mean tweets tho
God bless Liechtenstein.
Song of Songs 4:5
