Being a believer in the Bible has nothing to do with governing. Or it shouldn't. First, there's no way to prove anyone actually believes what's in the Bible. I can claim to believe in anything. The only way to show belief is with your actions. So if you believe that all life is sacred, then that means ALL LIFE. That means no more war, capital punishment, animal testing. It means feeding the poor and tending the sick WITHOUT CHARGE. How do we know? Because that's what Jesus said and did IN THE TEXT. (I'm not saying in real life, but in the text.)
In other words, belief in God, and that God made everything and everyone, and therefore loving all that God made MUST BE SHOWN. Belief isn't something that should just be in your own head, or, if that's the way you want it, then KEEP IT IN YOUR OWN HEAD. We don't want to hear it, because it's hypocritical.
These Republicans use the Bible to appeal to gullible voters. And they use it to say, "Look how kind and wonderful we are! We believe that all life is sacred! Now just ignore the evil we actually do, and focus on us hugging the flag, and holding the Bible...upside down."
