The Wild Hunt, By Manny Moreno And Mannytejeda, on March 4, 2025 https://wildhunt.org/2025/03/wv-seeks-constitutional-amendment-to-codify-the-bible-as-the-utmost-authority-for-human-moral-behavior.html The discussion revolves around a resolution introduced by Christian nationalist lawmakers in West Virginia that seeks to officially recognize the Bible as a historically accurate record of human history and the ultimate moral authority. The resolution also calls for the Bible to be prominently displayed in public buildings, including schools, and given a place of reverence in state laws and policies. A similar bill advancing the kingship of Jesus Christ is also being pushed in North Dakota. While such resolutions are clearly unconstitutional, there is concern that they could gain traction if they are passed onto the ballot for public vote in 2026. However, GOP leadership in West Virginia appears to be shuffling the bill around in committees, possibly to avoid its progression, knowing that such measures could be legally challenged and politically damaging. Kelley points out that this type of legislation is a tactic often used by the GOP to distract voters from their failure to address real societal issues such as poverty, crime, and inflation. By passing Christian nationalist laws, they secure continued support from their base, even if they fail to deliver on actual governance. He sees this as a strategy to maintain power without real solutions. The group debates whether this push is an argument from fallacy or simply an appeal to the majority’s religious sentiment. Tracy, raised in a casual Catholic environment, asserts that the claim of the Bible being 100% accurate is absurd. She highlights the contradictions and inaccuracies within the text, noting that if a statement does not align with reality, it cannot be considered true. Furthermore, she argues that declaring Jesus as the king of America undermines the country’s foundation, effectively nullifying the nation’s principles. Elevating the Bible as the supreme moral authority is in direct violation of the First Amendment, and any attempts to implement such policies signal a desire to dismantle the secular nature of the government. Eli acknowledges that some aspects of the Bible contain positive moral guidance, such as "love thy neighbor," but this does not mean the entire book is a reliable or ethical foundation for lawmaking. He challenges the idea that morality should be derived from a single religious text, arguing that moral decision-making is subjective and dependent on individual circumstances. By attempting to impose the Bible as a universal moral code, lawmakers are not only violating constitutional principles but also ignoring the demonstrable moral failings of the text itself. The panel also discusses the implications of trying to legislate religious doctrine, questioning whether this would lead to enforcing biblical punishments such as stoning for working onBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.
