How true

"Right now, Jesus himself couldn't be the Speaker and get 218 Republicans behind something."
—Rep. Patrick J. Tiberi

I read an interesting pair of articles on a recent debate between Bill Nye, Science Guy, and the guy who opened the Creationism Museum in Kentucky on evolution versus creationism. The part that I found to be the biggest takeaway was the line that religious fundamentalists aren't just cherry-picking the bible for the choicest bits to support their positions, but they are weaponizing the bible.

Weaponizing is really what's going on there, yes, with the Representative's as the logical end of that process.
