    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"

          no, i agree, the christian bible is significantly less sacred to americans than the constitution.

        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).
