As someone who unfortunately has had contact with such people, I can assure you that the most extreme of them read their Bibles (KJV ONLY!) every day. For these fundamentalists the Bible is literally their laws, and so extensive knowledge of scriptures becomes a core part of how they exert power over each other and maintain their social hierarchies.

They don’t read the Bible. They quote parts of it to suit their needs, the hypocrite fucks.

Usury is banned in the Bible, but it’s essentially what the US runs on.

Hell, based on the Bible no Karen should ever quote the Bible in an attempt to teach someone.

1 Timothy 12 “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet."

Mixing fabric? That’s a stoning. (And not the good kind.)

“Extensive knowledge of scripture” don’t make me laugh
