This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.

Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.

This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn't quite sure where else to post this lol.

The question never asked is if you want a bible in school which one. There are 19 different versions of the Christian bible just off the top of my head. There are probably many more. When they make they make it generic everyone just assumes they mean their version and that is how fascist get what they want.

Thats why its important to keep the state out out of church is as important as keeping the church out of the state.

It's always the King James Bible.

  • It's dirt cheap.
  • The Gideans would likely donate them anyway.
  • Ain't like anyone is going to read them and even if they do, it's old school English and it will mean whatever conservatives want it to mean.

I went to college in a small town, there was a festival every fall in the old downtown area, and a religious group would get a booth right in front of the bar we liked to go to. They would forcibly hand out those tiny little new testaments to everyone trying to walk into the bar. The bar owner put a 50 gallon trash can right inside the door. It was full of those bibles. Such a waste of paper.

I wonder what they'd say if you tried reselling them near the local church

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

I should have dragged the trashcan outside and asked them to help me take it to the dumpster.

I really don't get why English speakers are so glued to the King James Bible. Most other languages keep re-translating the bible, aiming for more accuracy and more understandable language for modern audiences.

Pretty much every time I've seen anyone actually deal with the King James Bible, they have a set of explanations what this or that thing actually means. It's the worst possible bible to use for anything.

And that's on top of the concept that a 2000+ year old text is supposed to contain all the wisdom ever needed.

Because it has no copyright. Each new translation has a new copyright.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Other languages also have outdated shit translations without copyright and still use more modern translations.

The King James version was also written to specifically reword the Bible to include as many references to a monarchy as possible in the hopes of propagandizing the population during a time when kings were losing their heads at an alarming rate in Europe.
