A Biblical citizenship test you say? And who shall score this test? Letting Jewish folks score the Old Testament part seems obvious (stealing from Lewis Black) it is their book after all. What’s that? Boebert failed that section because she kept insisting that Jesus is in it? ---

> [@crowmanyclouds](#): > > And who shall score this test? I wouldn’t worry too much about that. I’d bet none of these “Christians” know much about the actual Bible, so it doesn’t matter who scores it. Hell, I’d be happy with just one question: “What does Jesus say about praying in public?” Every single one of them would fail. ---
