Listen to the bible

Maybe that is normal in your world. There is a process if you don't like what is written there. Amend it. You are not supposed to just bend the meaning to suit your politics. In that regard isn't that exactly the way you say they are twisting bible verse? The Constitution has been re-interpreted since its first printing. If your conservative jurists actually read the Constitution, the 2nd Amendment "right" to bear arms would only pertain to those in well-regulated militias. The part that says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" is not as hard to defend as you ignoring "Congress shall make no law" in the 1st amendment. The bible isn't endowed with the rule of law, anyway, despite conservative attempts to make it so. It's nothing more than a book compiled from disparate scrolls in the third and fourth centuries and retranslated many times. I agree the bible is a compilation of many other writings and there are different versions for each brand of those faiths that use it. The first real test of prayer in school (Weiss) was based on whether people needed to hear the words in the King James version versus one used by Catholics. |
