The Big Bible and the Inauguration







There were two or three Bibles being swapped around at the second inauguration of President Obama. Here is one of them with the hand of Joe Biden taking the oath of office.

The man who should have been delivering the opening remarks and prayer along with the Big Bible was asked not to attend the ceremony.

Louie Giglio, a well known pastor from Atlanta, was sent home.

It was discovered that twenty years ago he had delivered a sermon declaiming against sodomy as a sin before God. His text and foundation for his views were taken from the same Big Bible (King James Version)

Thankfully his 'bigotry' was discovered before he made it to the podium and a more forward thinking preacher was brought in as a replacement. A preacher who would welcome all "Our gay brothers and sisters to the fold."

This being the case, somebody better get to work on that Big Bible with a pair of scissors. Because either God or the President must be wrong.

Jubilate.
