You read the title, I presume. But this is not going to be what you probably expect. I merely want to show a fundamental difference regarding the intended audience of the two....let's call them "documents."
The Bible was written for you. It's purpose is to show show you where you stand in the grand scheme of things and explains in thousand years of recorded history what God is doing on your behalf.
The Constitution was written for people in government. It was not written for you. It has nothing to do with you.
The Bible has everything to do with you. God did this, God did that, culminating in Jesus who did such and such so that you could be free.
The Constitution was written so that those in government can know their limits and their boundaries regarding their controlling of you. Before the Constitution was adopted you (the Americans alive at the time) were free. The Constitution then controlled them. And gave the parameters allowed to the controllers in their control.
The Bible began with you under control already. Your master was Satan - by Nature, because of something called "genetics" because of actions taken by your prototypes, Adam and Eve and God intervened slowly, gradually, to wean humanity, slowly, gradually, via one group of people, Israelites, to ready things for Jesus. Jesus then set you free. On his own. By his job performance. You are now free. Whether you realize it or not. Which you probably don't.
So, the Bible takes you from control to freedom.
The Constution takes you from freedom - Americans were free after the Revolutionary War - and placed you under control. Of the government. The government was created by the Constitution. If you read it it's pretty clear all it's instructions are for bureaucrats on how to control you.
This is not complicated. Except to a Conservative.
Now my purpose here is not to say the Bible is true of false. My purpose is to explain how the Bible and the Constitution are diametrically opposed. Period.
Thank you. Oh, and fuck you. Thank you.
