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 bible is the only one that meets those requirements at $60 a pop. oklahoman.com/story/news/2024/

@Victor

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 ...because this is the authoritative King Dump version and MAGA certified for Murica

@Victor

So, the state's head of eduction is involved in a kickback scheme. What's his percentage on this deal?

@mcfate Well, it's not going to be that he'll be selected as Secretary of Education as Trump and Project 2025 will get rid of it

@Victor

Dickless would have to get elected first and who want the job of being head of a department that's getting shit-canned? What would even be the point?

@mcfate one of the things that drives these MAGAs is to have their existence acknowledged by in some form or another. Endorsed for a particular public office, brought into his inner circle, or just to have their name mentioned when TFG talks (though he can't remember names or who is who)

@mcfate @Victor When you trying to tie history to the bible for a "historical document." Why the King James version? The puritans used Geneva.

@Ruthat @Victor

Because you're a subliterate hack probably, one who imagines that the King James Version, with every one of its flaws — unicorns? really? — was somehow dictated by the Lord God Almighty Himself.

@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.

@Victor @Ruthat

Some translations are objectively worse than others, and the KJV is one of the very worst in existence.
