And we need to ban books that, that have pornographic imagery in them right.
>> Yes.
>> Yes because we, somebody was telling us about a book that had like two daughters
getting their dad drunk and having sex with them.
>> I know you're going that way.
I know you're doing that.
>> Yeah, that's a good point.
>> This is one of my favorite videos that's making its way around the internet
right now, what you just witnessed was Jason silvic of the good liars.
Pulling the good old switcheroo on a Republican candidate for
governor in the state of Michigan.
Now, that candidate's name is Ralph Re Brant and
he's a pastor who wants the bible taught in public schools, which would mean
that the government would be promoting religion, which is unconstitutional.
But nonetheless,
he wants to do it because he wants good wholesome education within these schools.
But apparently he forgets that the bible has some parts that maybe
make him a little uncomfortable.
Let's watch the rest of that exchange.
>> My name is Ralph Re Brant and I'm running for the governor of Michigan,
I'm a pastor.
But I'm running, I'm bringing God back into culture because I'm convinced that if
we don't get God right in this next election, nothing will matter.
>> Bringing God back to Michigan, what would that look like?
Would there be religion taught in schools?
There would be, as our founders said, the bible should be the basic textbook and
scripture I mean in schools.
>> Are there books that you don't want to see in schools.
I would remove the pornography.
But we need to ban books that that have porno pornographic imagery in them right.
>> Yes.
>> Yes because we somebody was telling us about a book that had like two daughters
getting their dad drunk and having sex with them.
>> I know you're going that way.
I know you're doing that.
Yeah, that's a good point.
>> But you're saying ban the bible in school.
>> No, I'm not saying ban the bible in school.
I get where you're going with your questions.
>> Right cuz it's because it's a you're saying anything that has a pornographic
image should be banned.
And that there are some images in the bible about you know sex and incest and
things like that.
So sounds like you're saying we should be in the bible.
>> What I am saying is that the Judeo Christian principles under which our
country is founded need to be brought back into culture and
I can't state any more clearly than that.
>> That means being in the bible soviet.
>> The bible would not be banned from culture or.
>> From the schools. I'm just saying the schools to
protect the kids.
>> No.
>> Oops. >> [LAUGH]
>> That was so good.
And look we have the receipts, look if you've read the bible,
you already know there are some unsavory components to it very unsavory.
Okay, so do you want me to read some of them?
>> Yeah well that's fun.
>> Okay let's start with a graphic to hear teacher Moses wrote for
us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife believes no child.
The man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.
Like your effing your brother's widow.
Like that's what the bible is telling you to do like get it on.
>> Very literally and in fact the prohibition against masturbation in
the bible is called onanism because Onan did not listen to God.
>> I've got that Jenkins for it.
>> Let's do it.
>> Judah said to own in sleep with your brother's wife and
fulfill your duty to fulfill your duty to her as a brother in law to
raise up offspring for your brother.
But Onan knew that the child would not be his.
So whenever he slept with his brother's wife,
he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for
his brother what he did was wicked in the Lord's sight.
So the Lord put him to death also.
>> So the Lord killed him.
>> Let's teach kindergarten kids about this.
>> Because he withdrew and by the way, the point of sleeping with your brother's wife
according to the bible is so that you can provide the offspring.
If you're not providing offspring,
why are you sleeping with your dead brother's wife [LAUGH] okay.
And so there's tons of things like that in the bible.
So look, I I've talked in some of the members only episodes about how I
became atheist, but I remember reading the Koran and thinking, wow,
I can't believe what's in this thing, like really?
And then I said, okay, fine.
And then I said, maybe the bible's got it figured out.
And I started reading the bible, I was like, whoa, it's even worse.
So it's a lot of passages are downright pornographic.
And I remember one passage I was reading and
you could just pick up random parts of the bible and read it.
I mean it's like probably the dirtiest book they'll have in any school.
Anyways, I, the guy has sex with a prostitute.
He picks up on the road and the bible makes no note of that.
Like it's not a big deal.
Yeah, of course he's a rich man and he got found a hooker on the road and
he sleeps with her and stuff.
But he's got it all written out and then he says, but
then he found out that it was his daughter in law.
What and then it explains,
what do you do if you accidentally sent slept with your son's hooker wife?
Okay [LAUGH] >> No you don't get it.
The disciples were the original jerry springer's okay.
>> [LAUGH] There's like chair throwing, but then kinda is, there's lots of talk of
blood, there's the, hey, get the other side too circumcise themselves.
>> I got more for you Jake,
you know what we were gonna try to fit more stories in this segment, but why?
Like we've got gold.
Okay, we're doing bible study.
This is what they want.
Let's do bible study.
So first let's talk about the passage where it specifically
addresses humans having sex with animals.
If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he is to be put to death and
you must kill the animal.
>> Why the animal there. >> Why you gotta kill the animal.
>> [LAUGH] >> What did fluffy do?
Poor son of a gun okay.
You know why by the way, just so you know, it's because religion is obsessed with
purity and so now the animal has also become unpure, so you kill it.
>> It's disgusting, terrible >> Animals are innocent.
>> Exactly now let's get to that weird passage about circumcision and
how it saves Moses from God's wrath.
At a lodging place on the way the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him.
>> Because the lord kills everyone randomly but okay,
>> But Zipporah with a very good name,
took a flint knife, cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses feet with it.
>> You've got to touch the feet.
>> You've got to touch the fee.
>> Otherwise it doesn't count.
>> Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me, she said.
So the Lord, let him alone.
>> Look guys, people take religion and do wonderful things with it.
My hero is a reverend Martin Luther king Jr.
so a lot of you out there are religious and you help the poor and the needy etc.
And we love you for it and thank you for interpreting your religious text,
whether you're Muslim Christian Jewish, it doesn't matter for
interpreting it in wonderful ways.
There are others who do not interpret it in great ways and
it's pretty clear from the text.
You shouldn't take it literally and you should really be careful if you're
teaching at the kids because there is a lot of interesting material in there.
And that is not the circumcision part I was referring to.
There's another circumcision part.
>> There's lots of circumcision parts tell me more.
Okay, there's a part where the tribe of Israel and God tells them,
go tell the other tribe that you're warring with,
it's gonna be okay, as long as you do circumcise yourselves.
You'll get to have our daughters, okay.
So by the way, the daughters know saying this of course, right.
And so they're like, that's pretty cool, we're gonna get together their daughters.
So they circumcise themselves and then God says.
>> What do you mean circumcise themselves, like they take a blade and they just like.
>> For the adults and they cut the foreskin, okay, so this is in the bible,
I'm not making it up, you can look it up and then God says, okay,
good idiots now go murder them.
Because they're in a lot of pain and they do and they go and
they kill everyone else in the tribe.
So God told them to trick them with alluring, like,
hey, we'll let you sleep with our daughters so you can murder them all.
>> That's insane.
>> It's so, and you don't get mad at me.
Please read your bible.
Please don't get mad at me.
I'm just telling you what's in there.
>> We need it in our culture Jake.
Let me give you more though.
There is a passage in which a prostitute thinks about male
genitalia in graphic detail.
Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth
when she was a prostitute in Egypt.
There, she lusted after her lovers whose genitals were like those of donkeys and
whose emission was like that of horses.
>> Who's tracking the emissions of horses.
Why was that a thing that Ezekiel was tracking?
He's like, have you ever seen a horse image?
I'm gonna put that in the bible.
>> By the way in Ezekiel 23 God says that prostitutes deserve
to be slaughtered okay, >> Unless remember there, your son's wife,
in which case it's okay.
And then finally, there's seems to be another passage that is a sexual content,
but it seems a little more lovely.
So this is Song of Songs, your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies.
That's because that's pretty, I like that.
>> It is the flip side is they seem to be weirdly obsessed with sex with animals.
Like, your breasts look like animals.
Another and if I do that, then I'm gonna have to murder the gazelle and
the fawns and all that stuff okay.
But okay, again, one last time.
Yes, but people take these texts and also interpret in wonderful ways.
And there are other great parts of the bible to Koran etc.
And and but it is not supposed to be part of our government.
How do you put that in the government?
That's not so and he's lying about the founders, the founders said, and
it's in the constitution.
You could read it.
We shall not establish a religion.
And this is among the reasons why.
