Handmaid’s Tale or Poisonwood Bible?

I am going to be a junior in High School next year and am taking AP Literature. As a prerequisite, I need to read multiple books over the summer. However, for one of them, I get to chose between the Handmaid’s Tale and the Poisonwood Bible. I don’t care which is easier, just which is more enjoyable to read. Anyone who is familiar with them, what would you choose?

Isnt it weird how ironically, atheists are the ones that have read more pages of bible/quran/whichever holy book than believers ever did, being unaware of all atrocities being glorified in them?

If i told a Christian ,for example, how bible glorifies rape in some (by some i mean many) instances, theyd say im lying but in reality, there is so many parts praising and encouraging it.

Religion is helluva drug, kids

What are some books I can get to understand the historical backgrounds of how the books were written in the bible?

For instance, when I was watching the Bible Project, I realized the Epistle to the Romans was written at the time when the Jews returned to Rome after once being evicted by the Roman emperor, and there were arguments between the Jews and Gentiles about whether to keep certain Moses's law. I am really mesmerized by this sort of knowledge and wondering how I can get more. What are some books I can read to know more? Thank you so much!

36 mega churches in Alabama, but a casino ended up paying for all the funeral costs for the tornado victims. Cause the Christians were all too busy getting their bibles autographed by their new lord and savior Trump. Something, something, you shall know them by their fruits.

Christians got the Bible’s autographed by the man guilty of all the deadly sins while a casino was paying for the funeral costs of the victims.

As the Bible says, you shall know them by their fruits.

EDIT: The Poarch Band of Creek Indians owns and operate the following casinos: Wind Creek Casino & Hotel, Atmore; Wind Creek Casino & Hotel, Wetumpka; and, Wind Creek Casino & Hotel, Montgomery. Tip of the hat to the Native tribes who used their Casino wealth to act more Christian than the Christians in a time of need.

TIFU. I, a Hijabi told my teacher to burn the Bible

Before you go all pork on me, I'll give you some insight. In Islam you discard anything with God's name on it by burning it. Yesterday in Statistics, our teacher found a Bible that was left in our class. No one knew who it belonged to and our teacher said, "You can't throw it in the trash right?, there's a thing against that.?" and I, THE ONLY HIJABI IN MY GRADE said "I think you're supposed to burn it" The whole class turned and looked at me like I wanted to kill them. I just checked and one of the proper methods of disposing a bible is by cremating it so I was right. I posted it in r/izlam, and someone commented "Yeah, in germany we have bad memories about burning books, but we were mostly nazis back then burning anything that is against fascist doctrine" maybe the reactions were because I live in a primarily jewish town, or because christians are unaware of how holy scriptures are to be recycled. TL;DR: My teacher asked how you dispose of a Bible and I said to burn it because that's the proper method but looked SAVAGE

I am Dominic Milton Trott, author of The Drug Users Bible. I self-administered over 150 drugs over a 10 year period to document how to use them more safely. AMA!

Hi Reddit! My name is Dominic Milton Trott.

I have led a relatively normal life, working in IT and as a father in the UK. Later on in life, I became interested in researching psychedelics and recording my experiences. I also frequented online drug forums, where I noticed that some users would suddenly drop off the radar, having died during their experimentation. I thought that if I could share my knowledge of what to expect along with the relevant safety information - the proper dosage, duration, precautions, etc - I could help to save lives.

I self-administered the drugs for a number of years and turned what I learned into a book, The Honest Drugs Book. I've now updated it with more drugs - 157 in total - and renamed it to The Drug Users Bible.

I have been interviewed by Vice and have just done my first on camera interview with Freethink, available at https://www.freethink.com/shows/dope-science/drug-use

Ask me anything!

Proof: https://i.imgur.com/tKHYJbk.jpg

PS: Some people have asked me for a link to the book itself. Here it is on Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/dp/099559368X.

Catholic mom went viral complaining about women wearing leggings, saying it tempts men. First, women aren’t responsible for the thoughts & actions of men. Also, doesn’t the Bible say that one should gouge out your eyes & cut off your hand if they cause/tempt you to sin? Doesn’t say blame women.

The Bible says that if your eyes or hand cause you to sin, you should gouge out your eyes and chop off your hands.

It doesn’t say to blame women....
