      As a former evangelical Christian I can assure you that any average one of them can only be said to have read the bible in the same way that I could be said to have read my favorite cook book. If that.

        Ok, so what is the current canon?

        I don’t think the new testament includes child diddling, but I didn’t read much of that either.

        Probably because I lost faith quite some time ago.

          Well, as I see it, evangelical Christianity has just about totally morphed into Christian Nationalism by now, and the canon for Christian Nationalism seems to essentially be Trump’s Truth Social feed.
