I guess my quibble is that your headline asserts that the purpose of the bill is to make the Bible illegal. That's a leap and a claim that requires evidence that isn't provided, imo.
Explaining that one potential or even probably effect of the bill is that biblical passages would be come illegal seems a lot more neutral to me.
I tend to knee jerk when I see our team using the same tactics that the propaganda arm uses. So that's on me.
The issue at hand is certainly VERY noteworthy. I just don't think it helps to put emotionalistic spins on things by making assertions that inherently trigger emotionalistic responses. Imo, we want to get away from that sort of reactionism, emphasize cool and calm discernment, and then blast away with criticism based on facts and evidence.
Moving on, thanks for the link. I agree that the EU, UN and NGOs should not decide what Americans (or anyone else) can say. And neither should the US congress.
Crazy stuff.

I think we can both agree that the bill is nuts, although we may disagree on the purpose and intent behind it, and who's actually doing it.
(Personally, I think its most likely satanic. But the world is awash with reactions, right now, as we reach the precipice and the most critical 6 months in the past 200 years of US history, so my hope is that GAW provides brakes to the escalation of emotional reaction, not fuels it.)
