Free speech is not what they claim. It is not neutral, it is not honest. It does not defend truth—it defends power. Today, one tweet can destroy your life. A satirical meme? Hate speech. A scientific graph? Misinformation. A religious critique? Censorship. What about the Bible?
And yet, the Bible—violent, tribal, soaked in blood—gets protected. Celebrated. Funded. Quoted in courts. Handed to children. Never flagged, never questioned. Never banned.
This is not freedom. This is selective silence. The real crime today is not preaching violence—it is questioning tradition.
What modern censorship targets
Say what they do not like. You are banned. Platform gone. Monetization dead. One wrong joke, one uncomfortable fact—and you disappear. Algorithms do not punish violence. They punish dissent.
Mock religion? Hate speech. Share statistics? Dangerous content. Suggest biology is real? Transphobia. Question school curriculums? Extremism. In this climate, even thinking aloud can get you erased.
And still, the Bible roams free.
The Bible: Bronze Age butchery with immunity
The Bible is not peaceful. It is not poetic. It is brutal.
Genesis opens with global genocide by flood. Infants drown because adults sinned. Exodus features plagues, child death, and divine torture. In Leviticus, God mandates stoning for dozens of crimes: adultery, homosexuality, working on the Sabbath.
Numbers is worse. Moses commands his army to slaughter the Midianites. Every man dies. Every woman dies. Virgin girls? Taken as sex slaves. Deuteronomy demands genocide: “Leave alive nothing that breathes.” Kill every man, woman, child.
Psalms celebrates dashing infants against rocks. The Gospels speak of eternal fire. Revelation ends with oceans of blood.
This is not metaphor. This is carnage. If any new book said this, it would be banned immediately. But wrap it in religion? It is sacred.
Freedom of speech: If it were a blog post, it would be deleted
Try this: post “Stone the adulterer” on Twitter. Or quote Deuteronomy about killing disobedient children. Say Leviticus 20:13 aloud in Canada or Germany. See what happens.
Flagged. Deleted. Possibly fined. Maybe arrested.
But when the Bible says it? Suddenly, it is wisdom. Culture. Heritage. Read at weddings. Taught in schools. Printed by the million, tax-free.
Platforms do not care about the message. They care about the authority behind it. If your god is old, violent, and still politically useful, you get a pass.
Mein Kampf vs. The Bible: A brutal comparison
Mein Kampf is banned in many countries. Even where it is legal, it comes with disclaimers. Footnotes. Context. Historical warnings. You cannot buy it casually. You cannot quote it without suspicion.
Why? Because it inspired violence? Yes. Because it justified racism? Of course.
But the Bible does all of that—and more.
It promotes slavery. Endorses genocide. Enforces patriarchy. Orders divine conquest. Builds ethnostates. Divides the world into chosen and damned. It was used to justify colonialism, witch hunts, apartheid, and segregation.
So why is Mein Kampf banned, but the Bible praised?
Because Hitler lost. The prophets won. That is the only difference. Power, not morality.
The sacred exemption: Violence in robes
Religion is not judged by what it says. It is judged by how long ago it said it. Age gives immunity. Sacred tradition gives protection.
You can write the same sentence today. “Kill the unbeliever.” “Obey your slave master.” “Burn the witch.” If it is yours, it is criminal. If it is scripture, it is culture.
No other book gets this privilege. Not even close. Novels have been banned for nudity. Poems censored for heresy. Films blocked for blasphemy. But the bloodiest book of them all is untouchable.
The Bible is immune not because it is moral. But because it is useful. It built the church. The monarchy. The state. The West. It remains powerful. And power protects itself.
Dissent is the real threat
Free speech bans are not about safety. They are about obedience. Governments do not fear violence—they fear defiance. They do not fear hate—they fear heresy.
That is why Galileo was silenced. Spinoza excommunicated. Darwin ridiculed. Not because they incited mobs. But because they exposed myths.
The modern censors do not ban crusaders. They ban critics. Questioning tradition is more dangerous than calling for holy war.
Say “There is no god.” You risk losing everything. Say “God said to kill them all”? You get applause.
A world that fears science and rewards superstition
In some countries, teachers cannot show evolution diagrams. But they can read the Exodus aloud. In some states, you cannot say “gender is real.” But you can quote Leviticus. “Do not lie with a man as with a woman—it is an abomination.”
They ban rationalism. They celebrate tribalism. The real war is not between right and left. It is between ancient dogma and modern truth.
We do not live in a rational world. We live in a curated museum of fear.
Whose morality rules?
This is not about ethics. This is about power. Free speech is not a shield for truth. It is a license for tradition. The church gets to speak. The thinker does not. The prophet gets a tax break. The satirist gets demonetized.
Imagine a modern cult writing the Bible today. “Kill the nonbelievers.” “Take the virgin girls.” “Stone the witch.” That cult would be illegal. Labeled extremist. Tracked by intelligence services.
But if it was written two thousand years ago? Hand it to children in Sunday school.
What true free speech would look like
True freedom does not pick favorites. It does not fear new truths or protect old lies. If the Bible can be printed, so can Mein Kampf; if religion can preach, so can atheism. If prophets speak, so can scientists.
Speech must be judged by content—not costume. Age does not clean hate. Holiness does not erase cruelty. We must stop worshipping what would today be criminal.
Every text deserves scrutiny. Every voice deserves space. Especially the ones power fears.
Conclusion: Freedom in chains, scripture on a throne
We say we love freedom. But we silence the living and worship the dead. We ban facts, we quote genocide, we punish thought and we praise superstition.
This is not a free society. This is a theocracy in disguise. One where the old blood gets applause, and the new truth gets erased.
Until we treat the Bible like any other book, we are not free. Until we stop protecting sacred violence, we live in a curated lie. Free speech does not exist until all voices are equal.
And right now, they are not.
