Ten percent of the American people think that Joan of Arc was Noah’s wife.
I learned this from a column by Nicholas Kristoff in Sunday’s Times. Kristoff was making the point that while the U.S. is one of the most “religious” nations on earth, almost no one knows anything about religion or the Bible.
In his column he quotes an unnamed Texas governor (Perry?) who opposed Spanish instruction because, “If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for us.”
And no, Jesus did not deliver the Sermon on the Mount from his horse.
The reality is that those people should read the Bible. If they did they might change their tune on much of their thinking. Of course I assume that they can read and think without watching faux news.
ReplyDeleteI remember a bumper sticker from the Seventies--"Jesus has returned, and boy, is he pissed." I'm pretty sure he would be.
