OK, I see your point that democracy isn't perfect or that it isn't as their founders wanted to be, but don't people have the right to vote on what things will their money be spent?
It just doesn't make any sense that people pay for something which they find disturbing and dangerous for their...

Exactly, I agree.
Very likely Christian apologists connected 2 stories because serpent cross a lone can lead to mislead understanding, but it's interesting how 2 stories fit together though.
Another interpretation of mine is snakes bit the Jews (which is punishment) but then snake is used to...
Then pedophilia, sadism and the rest of sexual deviations should be removed from DSM simply because there is no 100% effective cure don't you think? that's quite logical.

I would really like to know the origin of serpent and cross.

I met one agnostic in real life and asked him simple question "what is agnosticism?"
He told me this means it's belief there might be or is some force (ex. god) but we don't know.
That is a lot to study for sure, and to me all this looks like APA is significantly affected by politics rather than profession but then also it's interesting how governmental site did not ban conversion therapy which is known to work with 65% success rate, this seems contradictory to what...

Let's conclude that these people had the right to draw they money from funding the library, it's their cash and they do with their cash however they whish.
The issue is not about denying reading their books or whether they are capable of deciding but rather removing books that the other group sees provocative and disturbing, they don't want to see these books and neither they want their kids to be tempted by reading these books.
As if parents are...
Not my job for sure, we're just debating on what would be the most appropriate decision for this problem
No I don't, I already told you that morality isn't specifically a church thing, morality is also called ethics, when I say morality I'm referring to ethics rather than church dogma.

physical pain is same, but overcoming pain is something different.
One example, hearing a really funny joke while experiencing pain, you will laugh at least a little no matter what, while laughing pain is less.
