So the one day I went to school this year basically, I was in the library and I was skimming through some books, when I came across The Holy Bible.

I sat there, and asked myself why a public school would carry one.
Then I had to look for a Satanic Bible, guess what? I didn't find one.

The schools are fucking prejudgice towards religious groups, and because of that, I will never go to school again.

Did you look to see if it was donated? Nothing should stop you from donating the satanic bible, or any other religious text.

This is pure, assisted self-destruction

I can't remember, it was a few months ago, and it just came to my mind today, thought I'd post and bitch about it.

I'd imagine it would get stolen.

Probably, but still, it's fucking pathetic that they only include Christianity in the school-board.

I think the school board is all a cult, honestly. There are higher members of the school board of Canada, and the highest members basically decide what they think is right and they teach it to the kids.
Think about it, it's all up to what these few people think is right and wrong, and the kids get sent there, and live every rule they throw at them, and learn everything they want them to learn.
It's almost like forcing beliefs on to a person.

The library at my school/sixth form just brought in the Qu'ran as well as a host of other religious books. A lot of people still have an interest in this sort of literature, be it for religious reasons or just general interest. I'm pretty sure the satanic bible will be unknown amongst most people in your school, plus it's not a main religion and has few concentrated followers.

But either way, normally if you request it they will bring it in or advise where you can get it.

Check for a quran or a Torah.

If they don't have either, then they are truly prejudiced.

Otherwise, they just don't give a flying fuck about your rebellious teen angst culture.

I don't know about the Satanic Bible, that's a little too "out-there" for a school to carry, but for the sake of fairness they should throw in some Hindu religious texts, the Koran, and some collections of Buddhist teachings. I'm no enemy of any religion that provides order. "Satanism" is based on chaos and the pleasures of the flesh as far as I've ever seen on the History Channel, schools shouldn't be teaching that as a viable option (education is for the good of society, not just the individual), but hey, there's other viable religions than just Christianity out there, and schools should provide information on them as well.

This sig needs moar desu. Actually, so does this site.

Having the Satanic bible in the library doesn't mean that the school is teaching Satanism; it just means the book is there for reference.

My university provides every student living on-campus with a Bible, both testaments. It's part of your inventory, so selling it or whatever you feel is appropriate for the book is a no-no if you plan on getting your deposit back at the end of the year. The institution has a Christian foundation, and there's actually an old chapel on campus that really stands out as the symbol for this.

I definitely wouldn't call this prejudice though, not even in your case, provided you were being at least half-serious in some way. I'm pretty sure the library here has copies of other scriptures (and other religiously based material that strictly aren't examples of scriptures), and like people have said, you should check yours if the presence of a Bible bothers you that much. The lack of a Satanic Bible, like what's also been said, is hardly surprising if you look at the numbers in organised religion and the functions they can fulfill.

Besides, libraries have so much information within them. There's no way you could be forced to use the religiously-based material in your own time, unless of course, the school is doing that. That's the sort of thing I have qualms about, but it's there if anyone wants to use it in the meantime. I mean, I've used my bible a few times since I moved here for different reasons, but it's not the book I grab off the shelf every day. For the past two days, that's been Fight Club's honour.

If they have a fuckin' Bible then they should have the other three religious books. After all, tolerance is a major subject today, is it not?

Qur'an, Torah, and Satanic Bible.

Well it is a Library and the Bible is a book. What about it?

Also you can find a Bible in many hotel rooms.
