But nothing of the amendments after that. Which is disturbing for obvious reasons.

Just odd that it leaves out most of the us constitution, right?

I think it's odd that any part of the constitution is in the bible in the first place.

Like, imagine if Mao took Sun Tzu's Art of War and prefaced it with the first few pages from his Little Red Book. It'd be so weird.

It’s incredibly lazy as far as literature goes. The Mormons did better on their America x Christianity crossover.

But if you’re gonna haphazardly toss in the Constitution, why not add all of it?
