Communism is so powerful that even God fears it
The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. - Genesis 11:6

When I found out there were two creation accounts and two exodus accounts, I was as pissed off as when I learned the conquests in Joshua never happened
Granted, it’s way more interesting to read them as historical artifacts and a developing theology reacting to its environment but being like “fucking what” when you’re taught it’s perfectly infallible is a wild feeling
Interestingly enough the “the bible is the literal and infallible word of god” people are a fairly recent (post 1500) thing.
Through most of theological history, its been understood as figurative (e.g. iirc Augustine saying that the days in Genesis 1 are God-Days each representing 1000 years), and not taken as “word of god” (at best, the first five books were “word of god through moses” and not everyone believed that) so it wasnt seen as “infallible”.
Yeah, the Chicago Statement and it’s consequences etc. reading about how capitalism both birthed and enabled American Christianity now, particularly evangelicalism but also mainline protestantism in their anti-communist fervor
