Hey everyone,

There's a story floating around about a man suing Bible publishers over offensive scripture and I'd like to address it.

The story goes something like this:

Barack Obama and the Supreme Court are to blame for suits like this that are occurring all over the country.

A gay man has filed a $70 million lawsuit against Bible publishers Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, claiming that their version of the Bible that refers to homosexuality as a sin violates his constitutional rights and has caused him great emotional distress.

Daily Headlines reported that Bradley LaShawn Fowler, an ex-con turned author, filed the federal suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on Monday, the same day a judge refused to appoint him a lawyer for his suit against Thomas Nelson, The Grand Rapids Press reported.

This story is complete bullshit. These events happened in 2008 which, for those who count, is seven years before the landmark SCOTUS ruling and even before President Obama was elected to the White House.

The man's laughable case was appropriately, and immediately, thrown out. So no, the Bible isn't under attack, and even if this case was taking place in present day it would be is idiotic now as it was then.
