Yeah but consider that they also ignore the contents of the Bible.

It’s not that they value the Word of God such that they’re willing to struggle with the text, it’s that the Bible can be wielded as a source of unanswerable authority. You don’t read the Bible, you quote-mine it, then bake the quotes to find occult meanings that coincidentally amount to…doing what you prefer to.

“Might makes right” is what conservatism always converges to. The only variations are how blatant the power grab is, and which lies are told to “justify” the power grab.
