Can someone point me to the bible verse where Jesus says you should let your kids die of plague?

[–] jon@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Exactly. If you're gonna cite religious exemptions, you should at the very least be required to point to the exact god damned verse.

And of course they're going with full disclosure so that other parents and children are fully informed of potential vectors in their schools, right? Right? ...

Please also restrict Mississippi citizens from travelling outside the state borders.

Mississippi is one of the last states to do this most already allow it. Mississippi is only doing this because they were forced to.

What religion teaches you that it's okay to tempt the Lord thy God? That sounds like Satanism, to me.
