I know fully grown adults who think the constitution has never been altered, the ammendments were always there and “just what the founding fathers worked on after signing it and sending it to king George”, and that any talk about congress changing things after the fact is just 'liberal propaganda" and at least one person, when asked why they think that, responded with “well I’ve never seen an Ammendment happen in my lifetime so obviously it doesn’t happen.”
Several of these adults are related, so I can see why multiple people in the same family might hold that belief, but the fact that I know MORE THAN ONE is insane to me.
I went to school in a non-religious school that was very much a religious area. Sex Ed was basically the scene in Mean Girls “If you have Sex you WILL GET PREGNANT and DIE”

And surely the Christian Bible would never be revised!
shuffles 400 versions under the rug
You joke but the founder of Conservapedia is working on his own English translation of the Bible that removes “liberal bias” (whatever the fuck that means).
normal weirdoes like this just go back to the KJV but i guess schlafly thinks even that’s woke…
You mean the US constitution wasn’t written by god and handed down by Jesus?
Americans are so weird about the “constitution”, like it’s some sacred thing or some shit.
Marsha Blackburn opposes the 2nd amendment.
There is a person here on Lemmy that seriously believes if you turn the constitution upside down it magically turns into Latin and has secret messages.
So, yeah. Unfortunately I’m not surprised with this lady.
what, like, the original constitution? the original document? or just any random ass copy of it>
that genuinely sounds like a dan brown book with the first page saying that all the facts in the book is true (99% of it is huge lies)
