  1. How can MAGA conservatives teach the Bible, when they don't know what it says? First of all, from the Biblical text, it says that God created everything. So, I take it by "everything" it means every single thing. That includes stuff religious people don't like, which (when they say it) is always a sure sign they're clueless about the Bible. Secondly, I've heard many so-called Christians claim that the Bible is God's words, that God somehow...I dunno...dictated it to lots of different people over many centuries? And I guess God also dictated the translations? Even if that's true (and let's just assume it is), then those human beings, with their finite brains, still interpreted their infinite God's words. Right? So God would say stuff that couldn't possibly make any sense to people who had no understanding of experimental science, or how big the universe was. For example: In the Biblical text we often see God claim that "the Earth is his, and everything in it." While that goes back to my first point, does it mean that ONLY this one planet is God's? Are there different infinite beings who create each planet? See? There's no way a human brain 5,000 years ago is going to grasp how big we now know (in the 21st century) the universe is. Finally, even the Bible doesn't claim it's God's own words, or that the men who received the dictation were "divinely inspired." Somewhere along the line, that got made up, probably by some bishop or preacher...who was also a finite, fallible man. You think MAGA conservatives have thought about any of that? Or where/how Cain found a wife, after he killed Abel (since they and Adam and Eve were the only people in the world)? Or how Satan is a Hebrew word that simply means "adversary": an improper noun, so absolutely not a name, but just anyone who is against whatever you're doing? And so on. I doubt it very much.
