Unsurprisingly, one more Christian finds they need to lie about how the world will end if they don’t get their way.
Libraries are often at the front line of the war christians want to wage on everyone else, and it’s happening again in Illinois. I had thought to become a librarian when choosing what to go to college for, but I knew I’d get in a fight with idiots such as these
“But there was still time to fight back, (Brian) Anderson said. He called on the God-fearing people of Metropolis to meet the enemy where Satan was planning his assault: at their town’s library.”
““God said he did not give us a spirit of fear,” Baxter (the fired librarian) said, alluding to the scary themes sometimes found in Halloween books. “Why would I want to instill that on anyone?””
ROFL. Evidently Ms. Baxter has never read her bible or chooses to lie about it.
“Baxter also elaborated on her refusal to apply for state grants. She had chosen instead, she said, to rely on God to provide.
“We don’t need to live by the regulations and the rules of this state,” Baxter said. “We are here to serve and to honor God.”
By then, some members of the library board had had enough. Richard Kruger, a longtime lawyer and concerned citizen, had advised them that Baxter’s blending of religion and government service was inviting a civil rights lawsuit.”
Any real librarian knows that one *never* avoids getting grants. It’s notable that Ms. Baxter is evidently an anti-gov’t failure with claiming grants are from “Satan” (of course said in the voice of Dana Carvey’s Church Lady).
“Seated alongside the board, Baxter, the library director, argued against the Library Bill of Rights. The Metropolis Public Library didn’t need state funding, she said. In fact, she’d never applied for any state grants during her tenure.
“There are grants we can get,” Baxter said, “where we don’t have to barter with Satan in order to get the funding.””
The article is a relatively long one and the essential points are that some christians are bigots and some aren’t. Neither can show that their claims are true, which makes their religion rather pointless.
This is why religion is no way to make decisions about public services.

Pathetic little people.
Always foisting their fear of what’s under the bed, on the rest of us.

one more cultist with no evidence for his claims. It’s always amusing when the christian thinks only his church is a “bible church” when they all make that claim, and not one of them can show that their nonsense is any more true than the next.
it’s no surprise such a person is on McDowell’s show, since he’s the same type of fraud.
