Came in to ask, “Is it kjv? Is it kjv? I bet it’s kjv.” Didn’t even have to ask, of course it is.

But it includes the constitution? In a sense that’s almost too on the nose - if you’re familiar with fundamentalist hermenuetics, then the parallels between their exegetical methods, and the constitutional interpretation methods of conservatives is too clearly identical to be accidental.

There are likely some Christians - even fascist ones, maybe particularly them - who likely find this offensive because they interpret it as an attempt to “add to the Word of God.” The freaky thing is there is a nonzero chance that some Christians might actually see this as an “inspired” event, and embrace these added documents as being canonical parts of the Bible. Just as Trump is doing a fantastic job of cleaving the republican party in two, could we be witnessing what could turn out to be another major schism within the Christian sects?

Aside, this quote from the article doesn’t seem entirely accurate to me. While it is true that there are likely a lot of conservative Christians that this portrays, it should also be known that some of the most passionate and dedicated fascists view the Bible as the only actually legitimate law, and most definitely study it as dutifully as a trained lawyer:

“Not that it matters, of course. The pages of Trump’s “Bible” could all be blank, and there’s a good chance no one would ever know it. In the right-wing publishing industry, books are not made to be read. They are to be displayed on your shelves, unopened, so you can glance at them and feel that somewhere, a liberal is “owned.””
