Councilman William Carroll, on Tuesday, responded to calls for banning books within the Mobile Public Library System with questions on whether those bans should extend to the Bible.
So much as I would like to keep religion out of the libraries, supporting a ban of any given one makes me no better than the zealots trying to censor books elsewhere.
Put in with the rest of the fiction section and let people read it as they wish. Some may have a section for religious texts, but separating it out that way gives an air of legitimacy and plausibility not really due it.
