A Louisiana school gave kids a biblical advice book comparing sex to slavery (Livestream) 

Why are these people pushing this sexual material on young kids? And they call everyone "groomers"

Sex is nothing like slavery. The Bible actually condemns sex.

anyone who is named Uncle G. and says he loves teens .... should be on an offender list.

Uncle G loves God and loves teens? Sounds like a youth pastor. Run!!! Run for your life!

i dread to think how many lives have been ruined by guilt and shame induced by religion - quite apart from the physical abuse.

Teaching anything sex related to 3 graders or younger? Who are the groomers again?

Remember, these are the people who are worried about indoctrination. Can't make this stuff up.😂😂

The fact that they think teenagers still write in cursive

I literally hate it when people compare something they don’t like to slavery

Slavery is being forced to endure a pregnancy to term when after birth the baby is destined to die quickly, or worse, having severe health issues such that the person will have to remain under care for life. Slavery is a cycle of unlivable wages or non-competes locking people into unlivable wages. Slavery is what actually is occurring in our prison systems - especially private ones.

What I learned from all this is that the adults who created this book think way too much about teens and sex.

Can you imagine the reaction of Evangelical Christians if the people doing that were Catholic nuns or Muslim Imams handing out either Catholic or Muslim literature. I bet they would be very upset. They sound like Chick Tracts.

No way. I would have flipped out if my kid came home from school with that.

Could you imagine the uproar if any other religion (or non-religious group) gave students books mentioning anything about sex! 😐 Especially at that age. There would be protests and so much rage!

You can't have slavery without the cooperation of the local religions.

As someone with a copy of this book: chuck it out the window ASAP.

Thank you for showing how messed up this book is, let alone the fact it was given to elementary students!

UGH! In my elementary school, the Gideons came to our classroom and passed out New Testament Bibles to the entire class! We had Jewish students, FFS!

Can someone please help me understand how these people function in the real world where there's like gravity and stuff?

I wish this was a F'n joke.

My local church has these. The 54 million distributed figure probably counts a lot that are sitting around in piles or people holding onto the waiting until they can find someone to evangelize to.

Separation of church and state huh? America is going to shit. More than likely those same kids aren’t being taught that at home even if their parents do go to church.

I normally do not like having to 'choose a side', but this school needs to either be secular or religious. Their public moneys should be taken away pending structural and policy reform approval.

This reminds me of he male mentality I faced the time I first applied for a credit card back in the late 1970s. I was divorced and working a full-time job for a number of years and applied for what was then called a Master Charge credit card at my bank. I received a notice I was denied so I went to the bank to inquire why I was denied. I was told by the bank male person that since I was a divorcee that I might get pregnant and not be able to pay my bills. The thought behind this that since I had known sex with my ex-husband that I would now be open to having sex with other men and be careless enough to get pregnant was almost a given to him. I was furious and slammed my fist on his desk telling him that was not a sufficient reason and he'd better come up with a better reason. He disappeared behind a door and when he returned, he told me I'd have my card within 3 days. Women were and still are thought to once have sex, we will just do it with anyone without care or concern for our personal integrity. BTW, I never have missed a payment on any bill or debt in my entire adult life and am now retired after working 49 years and I did it all on my own.

Hello fellow kids. Isn't it fun to not touch ourselves. Radicalation!

I wonder why they never use the song of Solomon😂

Demonizing sex is the foundation of so many social, cultural, and mental issues. Making people comfortable and aware of the powerful primal drive of sex would make a healthier society of more self-aware individuals, but that’s empowering people and not telling them to submit their autonomy to sky daddy.

I always abscond with Gideon Bibles when I tragically come across one for emergency toilet paper. However, one must be mindful of paper cuts (ouch 🥺!).

And they say we are the ones perverting children.

I was in elementary school during the 60's. Yea, I know, I'm old. When we were in grade 6, the Gideons gave us new testement Bibles. The girls got white ones, and the boys' were red. I cringe about it now, but no one thought anything about it at the time. Mostly because it was a white, Christian, rural area. Now, my children and I are atheists so I guess it didn't work to make me religious.

The only secondary use for a Gideon Bibble, is as cigarette papers.

Glad they are perfectly ok with soliciting on school grounds....

Most kids in K-3 can’t read cursive

Ah, the Gideons... A cult named after another mass polygamist tyrant.

I was given a LifeBook as a middle schooler by my church. I was also given extras to pass out to friends outside of church. I had a lot of warped views on sex and relationships from growing up Southern Baptist :( I hope I didn’t pass on this angst to others.

The thing that gets me is these notes are mainly written in cursive. How many kids write cursive in school anymore? How many kids, even teenagers can read cursive? So the kids take these home to their parents who hit the roof and blame the school?

This is beyond cringeworthy and gross. I have no words.....

It's time to sue the hell out of these people.

Tay sounds so realistic, compelling, and convincing... _What do your mean? I'm not being sarcastic!_ 😂😂😂😂😂

This was a PUBLIC school? Then they need to be arrested. Immediately.

Are the Rethuglicans not passing laws specifically prohibiting anything mentioning sex and age appropriate materials being prohibited? Then they bring in their own ? Or is actually heresy

These are the same people that don't want them teaching kids the concept of consent.

7:45 Obedience doesn't necessarily lead to righteousness; it can and does in fact sometimes lead to great evil. Obedient Germans in WWII weren't righteous; I think we all know how badly that went.

Must obey and respect a man of god. Fear lgbtq books not guns. Bible belt. Merica. 🤠

Louisiana is also trying to require the 10 commandments be put in every classroom. I still can't wrap my head around that.

This reminds me of Mao's little red book. Murrica...

For some of these kids this is literally their introduction to sex. That's so wrong

When I was in elementary school, Gideons actually came into the school and distributed bibles directly to the students. You were of course always free to make yourself a target by declining this most generous and magnanimous offer.

I hope they fire the person that let them in the school.

When I check out of any hotel I always leave any Gideon bible I find soaking in the sink.

In "the hood", you know I was born and raised Praisin' Jesus is how I spent most of my days Spitting out scriptures, relaxin' all cool And passing out tracts outside of the school

Wait, the Bible endorses slavery, both chattel slavery and indentured servants. So... I don't think they really thought this through. 🤣

I was a teenager and a boy, and I was practically an aromantic asexual. Although I wasn't, as I got older I did have romantic and intimate relationships in my 20s and beyond.

The Gideons came to our elementary school (back in 2000) and passed out their pocket new testaments to us. No one batted an eye because this was flyover country and they've been inching to break those barriers for decades. I really hope we can move past this in the future.

They meant convert to ‘tithing’ and worshipping the pastors

You just presented a situation that would have made me go rage Karen on the school. Sex education and no one, absolutely no one teaches my children any religion without my direct permission. This is totally unacceptable and I'd be on the phone with a lawyer out the door. This crosses a hard and totally unacceptable line. I feel like driving there myself and raging at them. I should send them a strongly worded letter shaming every damn one of those Christian Nazis! HOW DARE anyone teach another person's child about religious sex. This is an absolute outrage!

My wife brought a copy of this home, found in the restroom. She's also an English instructor and appreciated the teen/annotated joke.

Recruit them early so they can keep the cash flow.

God can save sex for marriage if he’d like. Each one of my kids lived together before marriage, oh the horror!

As if our kids aren’t totally confused enough….. despicable

I'm not sure children between Kindergarten (5/6) and 3rd grade (8/9) should know anything about the topic.

Well, the bright side is that most kids and teens can't read cursive writing anyway!

Time to call TST... TST is an equal religion and has a ton of books to hand out at school as well.

I've had premarital sex in Louisiana, and in retrospect it was sort of reminiscent of slavery.

Anyone else have parents who would lose their mind over this? Whether religious or non-religious like mine. And I'd bring it straight to them too. 😅 By 5th grade, I'd even know to complain about it because of its religious content...instead of just being confused about its sexual content.

What a bunch of weirdos. The more religious the ridiculous.

equiting sex with slavery? sounds like marriage.

This also shows how desperate schools are for something "free", free books, free assemblies, etc. Sad that we don't fund schools better.

I hope lawsuits happen...

Nothing beats religiously inspired creepiness. All other creepiness just can't compete.

Note. Jesus did say love one another as I have loved you. The most ignored verse in the Christian Holy Book.

Just waiting for missionaries to start pestering home school families to include Jesus as required curriculum.

They believe Lessie is Moore when it comes to knowledge.

Whether you are an atheist or not, your videos are very logical. I’m not an atheist and I am a subscriber. Your videos are interesting. I am a proponent of separation of church and state. I do not want anyone to try to recruit my child into their beliefs. I think schools should be open places where everyone is welcome.

I notice they set up a dichotomy, where everyone has to be a slave one way or another. That degree of comfort with slavery, is both disturbing, and in tension with a lot of Christian theology. The whole point of sin is that it is chosen, aka free will. Once sin is controlling the individual rather than vise versa, much of the concept and theology about sin falls apart. If sin were to cause a person to lose volition, for what point would there be blame or punishment? I imagine the original intent describing sin as slavery, was very allegorical, and not intended on being taken as literal as that tract did.

They gave these out in my highschool like 10 years ago. I thought it was creepy then its creepy now

American Christian TALIBAN .

One of the consequences of how many Christians (and others) approach this issue is they teach that all of these urges and actions are bad. The kids who are raised this way never learn the difference between appropriate and inappropriate urges and actions, so they can't ask for help when they are either the victim or if they are having inappropriate urges. Obviously, they also don't talk about consent, because they refuse to actually talk about the issue at all.

I hope the Freedom From Religion Foundation is all over this.

In the 1980's Gideon came on to my public high school campus, at lunch time IIRC, and handed out their bible. It was one of many things the ACLU noted in a letter sent to the principal, after an anonymous student complained because I'm not insane and it was suburban Atlanta in the 1980's. The principal complained bitterly in an address over the intercom but the morning prayer reverted back to a moment of silence and Gideon's never came back on campus.

One word - horrifying! Thankyou for shedding the light of reason on this.

Instantly recognized the book in the thumbnail, we were encouraged to hand these out at school in youth group.

Seems like marriage is more like slavery if they insist on the analogy, but what do I know.

Why is an elementary school allowing children to be exposed to sexual content?

I would lose my ever loving shit.

Surely even if Eve was the World's worst sinner, then the "sin" should still only have been passed down for seven generations

Leave snakes alone. They have it bad enough already.

Separation of church and state! No theocracy!

How many of them would support the expansion of slavery? Oh, did anyone else hear Hemant say "The Minions International"? Teaching kids about the importance of BANANA I'm sure. 4:08 Was that The Bite of '87?

Publishing pictures of the kids was wrong.

This should not be allowed PERIOD!! Not during school hours. I’m all for freedom of speech and expression, but this is highly inappropriate, to say the least.

Now I’ve read the Bible and it talked a lot about sexually deviant behavior by corrupt religious leaders. But no where did it say specifically ANYTHING about not having sex or what kind of sex to have. The Bible does in fact make an emphatic statement about MONEY: “The LOVE OF MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL.”

Do you have a link for the original news store about this? Thanks

I remember when someone from the anglican church came and brought a pocket bible for each of the students in grade 8 (it was a private anglican boys school in Aus), by the end of the next period, everyone was pointing out ‘the sex’. No one has taken or will take any religion seriously at that school.

Can someone check on uncle G‘s Internet history?

Good job, Louisiana. 🤦🏼‍♂️

V and D together = VD

1:11 OH MY GOD I RECOGNIZE THAT. A church near my HS had a weekly lunch. One time at lunch, this guy started passing these books out. I was out of the room at the time (grabbing lunch) when this guy came in and passed out these books. I was confused by everyone holding these books and my friend gave me one of them, saying they were weird sex books and that the guy handing them out asked weird stuff to them.

I'm surprised they gave them books. Does anyone in louisiana know how to read?

"Don't be slaves to sin," so basically do everything that is the opposite of taking care of your human needs and asking others for consent? Because, "being human" is a sin apparently.
