Until Jesus comes to rewrite the Constitution, the current version should settle questions regarding individual authority. Bible reading should be encouraged, not forced. Religious activism leads to Inquisitions and witch-burnings.
Interesting that the devil was known as the "Light Bringer." Even more interesting is the literal-to-the-hour interpretation of the first pages of Genesis. And even more interesting is the use of
King James' Olde English when Bible verses are quoted. What tedium! No wonder more kids aren't reading it.
Reaping what we're sowing, by Biblical standards, the U.S. is doomed anyway.

Interesting that the devil was known as the "Light Bringer." Indeed...quite curious, that. Makes one wonder at the origins of the story; the ancient Greek legend of Prometheus comes to mind, he was punished for stealing fire from Olympus and bringing it down for mankind's use.
