In my business I often see this: “The Bible says” and then there is quoted some outrageous nonsense. There are only two kinds of people who do this: (1) those who have not read the Bible and are parroting someone else’s words or (2) someone who has read the Bible and didn’t like what it said. Since many people today are ignorant about what is actually inside their Bibles the speaker can count on not be challenged.<\/p>\n
But the reason I am writing here is that the news Media has become largely an exercise in ignorance and arrogance. And the bigger the Media the bigger the arrange and therefore the larger the misinformation, also now rightfully called lies.<\/p>\n
Some examples:<\/p>\n
“The Constitution says” – I have a copy of the Constitution in my handbag and so far I have never needed to pull it out, but those times when a TV personality has “quoted” the Constitution they apparently did not know what the Constitution said. Now if the critic is Alan Dershowitz\u00a0I listen; his politics and mine don’t match but when he speaks on this subject he has authority. The final authority is the Supreme Court but it has made some embarrassing mistakes in the past, such as the Dred Scott decision. Men are not omniscient although occasionally they pretend to be.<\/p>\n
The next time you hear the words “the Bible said” or “the Constitution says” or “President Trump said” pull out your phone and do a search. You’ll have the last laugh.<\/p>\n\n
