As a former evangelical Christian I can assure you that any average one of them can only be said to have read the bible in the same way that I could be said to have read my favorite cook book. If that.
As someone who did read the full book years ago when going to school and remembers fuckall in it except how repetitive and boring the Old Testament was, this helps me understand their approach of picking and choosing scripture.
Well, as I see it, evangelical Christianity has just about totally morphed into Christian Nationalism by now, and the canon for Christian Nationalism seems to essentially be Trump’s Truth Social feed.
Have you read the Bible? Harems, concubines, child brides, slavery, women shouldn’t speak, etc…

I don’t think the new testament includes child diddling, but I didn’t read much of that either.
Probably because I lost faith quite some time ago.

Oof, how can someone be so mindless, that they will go against basic human decency to do whatever leader tells them?
Proof that philosophical zombies are real.
Oblig. 45-second masterpiece

I don’t think the Bible talks about child brides. Without that, none of those are related to pedophilia…
