Which Bible?

The thing about modern Christianity is there are a thousand expressions of the “one true faith.”

It’s the definition of post-truth. https://toad.social/@KimPerales/112689867749743271

@paninid The Bible is a terrible, narrow-minded choice. So much unnecessary stuff, plus SOOOO much ambiguous stuff. My choice is the Laozi. The Founders' choice was ancient Greek and Roman wisdom literature, which confuses no one with genealogies. In fact, the Founders DID want wisdom literature in schools, but didn't insist on it being religious wisdom.

@dogzilla @paninid I just read "The Pursuit of Happiness" by J. Rosen, which had this fun fact about Jefferson: His great fear was that god is a just god and would require recompense from Jefferson for his hypocritical refusal to give up his lifestyle and the enslaved humans he needed to maintain it.
