Have you read the Bible in its entirety? Yes there is sex, slavery and many other horrible things. But that is NOT what is taught. The evil things are admonished and punished. What is TAUGHT in the Bible is that God loves and accepts everyone, including you and that every person, male or female, slave or free, whatever nationality or religion, you have value to God.

Were you at the LaGrande School Board meeting? There were 300 people there and majority were in favor of canceling the play. It was not a religious minority but a conservative community that most want to stay conservative

You are absolutely right that we have a bigger problem than this play. I don't see however, that putting on a play that promotes casual sexual relationships will help that problem.

Most of this discussion is about not being ignorant and I see lots of ignorance in the comments being made. People assuming things about churches they know nothing about or your comment that teens will have sex. Some will but many will not. Let's not lump all teenagers together. Also I live in LaGrande and your bet about the girls that are pregnant is wrong.

Yes, all the La Grande School board members did have complete copies of the play (that were bought specifically for this purpose) before the meeting and it is my understanding that they each read it. Also if the cast members had signed up to speak, they would have been allowed. They went in order and one high school student did speak. They cut off the speaking before many people got to speak due to time.
