A local church is urging its members to permanently remove books from the Shelby County Public Library by checking them out and never returning them. The books portray gay characters and historical figures or explore LGBTQ+ themes.

Pamela Wilson Federspiel, who has been director of the library in downtown Shelbyville for 34 years, says the action is tantamount to “stealing.”

But three leaders of the Reformation Church of Shelbyville defend what they call an “act of civil disobedience.”

    Okay Edgelord, look It doesn’t really matter because there’s no denomination of Christianity today that condones slavery.

    Edit: By Fulfilling the law, Jesus means that his sacrifice of himself has paid the debt mankind owed to the levitical law, so in a sense is was abolished. Basically, you don’t need to pay the price of breaking levitical laws anymore, because Jesus already did that

      I love that saying anything anti-Christianity makes someone an “edgelord”. Because apparently believing in magic is the default I guess.

      Wow I really feel bad about being called an edgelord.
