#InNewsoftheAbsurd Grifting Galore: You know that Ryan Walters Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction is pushing the State to purchase bibles for classroom with specific requirements. Well, it so happens that #TFG bible is the only one that meets those requirements at $60 a pop. #politics #religion https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2024/10/04/donald-trump-supported-bible-one-of-few-that-meets-ryan-walters-criteria-for-ok-classrooms/75510021007/
Why the fuck does a BIBLE need the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance in it?
That's like insisting that copies of the Lotus Sutra need to include log tables.
@mcfate @Ruthat Lost in Translation: it is rather futile to attempt to translate ancient writing to a current, living language which leads to hundreds English iterations let alone having certain versions endorsed by groups or entities as being authoritative or giving more credence. #religion #politics
@Victor @Ruthat
Some translations are objectively worse than others, and the KJV is one of the very worst in existence.
