[Vision2020] Southern Fantasy: Banning The Bible

[Donovan Arnold]

John,
  
 It appears that you do not  understand the difference between "idolizing a human civilization"  verses learning from it. Of course we learn from other human  civilizations. But we should not idolize them, especially when we know  they are flawed, immoral, corrupt, and abusive to certain groups of  people. 
  
  Take Care,
  
  Donovan J Arnold

  I'm baffled. Are you seriously saying we have nothing to learn from  past civilizations and should instead only consider what one person  allegedly said two thousand years ago? Amazing. Are you familiar with  the Dark Ages?
