    It’s a right question. It’s just not the first question.

    Question 1: Why are there Bibles required to be in Oklahoma classrooms when that’s a clear First Amendment violation?

    Question 2: Why are these Bibles mandated to be the ones that, even when you reduce it to Christianity, only some Christians consider to be accurate?

    Question 3: Why is this going to fund the Trump campaign?

      If you’re ever arguing over “what should the Bible be”, they already won.

      There isn’t a legitimate scenario where you can ask it.

        That’s not arguing “what should the Bible be.” It’s asking why it should be distributed, why it does not represent people it claims to represent and why it is generating revenue.

        It has nothing to do with the contents of the Bible itself. Those are essential questions when it comes to American politics.
