I think that the Bible thing is a cover and copout. I think the bulk of them are not very bright people, or lazy, or both. They are naggingly insecure about that and band with others who hold up the BIble and yell "We don't need science, we have faith in God!" That's why the 'Pray for our Nation' yard signs irked me so much when they were popular. It's like they don't want to be bothered to try to understand any socio-economic, ecological or other issues to make informed votes. They just throw their hands in the air to hand it over to some all knowing God. Whatever happens is God's plan.
Their willful ignorance has been preyed on by both politicians and charlatan hucksters like Osteen, Hinn, Robertson. Look no further than Wilks and Dunn who are using both church and politics for their benefit. The most of them don't even read or study the Bible, they take whatever gets spewed at them first, second or third hand, just like Fox, OAN, etc.
It's so much about greed and insecurity and going along to feel part of something important. So much more than the Bible, it's just a prop. If they were truly using Christian tenets, our social assistance program would be ten times larger than our corporate welfare program.
