Taxi Drivers In Filipino City Required To Post Bible Verses

In what is being called a new initiative to fight crime, all taxis in the Filipino city of Tagbilaran will be carrying Bible verses.

The law had been on the books for over 20 years but now the city is enforcing the law in an attempt to curb a wave of violence that was impacting commuters.

“This is the only city in the Philippines that has such an ordinance,” Samuel Belderol, who issues taxi licenses at city hall, told reporters. “We want the world to know that we are a God-fearing city and that these Bible verses help us draw closer to God.  We only issue 3,000 licenses every year and each one must have a unique verse on it, no duplicate verses allowed.”

If a taxi driver fails or refuses to post the verse, they could lose their license.

City Council member Lucile Lagunay says the action has already shown a positive impact on the crime rate.

“With a Biblical message at the back of the units, commuters get to see the message every day and it helps in way to preserve the peace in our city,” she stated. “Everyday commuters get to see the biblical message on the tricycles and who want to think of crime when they see biblical passages everywhere.”

Georgia High School Caves To Anti-Christianists

A Georgia school board has given into a group of anti-Christianists who demanded Bible verses be removed from a statue donated to the school.

The virulent anti-Christian group American Humanist Association sent a threatening letter to the school over a monument that was built in August and touched by the school’s football team on the way to the field.  The monument has two Bible verses on it.

The school board voted unanimously to give into the anti-Christian group and remove the Bible references because the school’s attorney said it was likely they would lose a court challenge.

“Kirby told board members, in part, that the monument presented some legal problems in connection with the 1971 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Lemon v. Kurtzman. The case produced the so-called ‘Lemon test,'” reported Jim Thompson of the Athens Banner-Herald.

“Kirby went on to tell the board that the issues raised by the Madison County High School monument were too similar to other court cases on the establishment clause to believe that the county’s situation might set a new legal precedent …”

The AHA celebrated the removal of Christianity from public.
