They wave their Bibles at passersby, screaming their
condemnations of homosexuals. They fall on their knees, worshipping at
the base of granite monuments to the Ten Commandments while demanding
prayer in school. They appeal to God to save America from their
political opponents, mostly Democrats. They gather in football stadiums
by the thousands to pray for the country’s salvation.
They are God’s frauds, cafeteria Christians who pick and
choose which Bible verses they heed with less care than they exercise in
selecting side orders for lunch. They are joined by religious
rationalizers—fundamentalists who, unable to find Scripture supporting
their biases and beliefs, twist phrases and modify translations to prove
they are honoring the Bible’s words.
This is no longer a matter of personal or private faith.
With politicians, social leaders and even some clergy invoking a book
they seem to have never read and whose phrases they don’t understand,
America is being besieged by Biblical illiteracy. Climate change is said
to be impossible because of promises God made to Noah; Mosaic law from
the Old Testament directs American government; creationism should be
taught in schools; helping Syrians resist chemical weapons attacks is a
sign of the end times—all of these arguments have been advanced by
modern evangelical politicians and their brethren, yet none of them are
supported in the Scriptures as they were originally written.
