FRANKFORT -- The “Year of the Bible” will apparently last 24 months in Kentucky.

Gov. Matt Bevin has declared 2017 the “Year of the Bible” in Kentucky even though he proclaimed 2016 the “Year of the Bible” last December.

Both proclamations pleased Pastor Mark Harrell of Victory Christian Fellowship church in Somerset, who said Wednesday that Bevin’s actions are in support of a statewide Bible reading marathon.

The “Kentucky 120 United Bible Reading Marathon” is a statewide event to get people in all 120 Kentucky counties to read aloud the entire Bible in the first three or so days of the new year.

2. Something tells me alot of them only pay them lip service to certain areas in the bible like

Exodus 20:14
“You shall not commit adultery."

Colossians 3:12
"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Luke 6:31
"Do to others as you would have them do to you."

9. I tried reading the Bible thru one time

but when they got into that "begetting and begat" thing, it confused the shit out of me.

By the way- here's a short summary of the Good Book from creation to that final day

14. The NT is a lot more manageable

I bet you can get through that.

[Docreed2003]

10. Maybe the second time through...

They'll pay closer attention to the actual teachings of Christ and that part in Acts where the early church is described as sharing all of their wealth amongst themselves....eh, who am I kidding.

11. The year of the biblical shit storm

that is about to rain down on us because of brain dead religious nutjobs.

12. How does this not violate the separation of church and state?

And where is the ACLU?
