[May 21, 2023] It wasn’t that long ago when any child could tell you two or three Bible stories and give a few quotes. There was also a time, recently, when nearly everyone understood and appreciated the child’s storytelling and appreciated that even children could learn about greatness. That is not true anymore.
Our friends at PowerLineBlog.com (link here) highlighted a New York Times correction.
“An article on Sunday about hundreds of people who starved to death in Kenya after following the teachings of a pastor preaching End Times mischaracterized the Book of Revelation. It is a book, not a chapter, of the New Testament.”
The Bible is composed of “books,” which contain chapters and verses. It is of interest that the NYT’s writers did not know this. Maybe the “Book of Revelation” should have been a hint that this was a book.
“But such learning apparently has not penetrated the dark recesses of ignorance in the Times building.” – John Hinderaker, PowerLineBlog
Ignorance has no bounds. We are all born ignorant, but we must work hard to stay stupid. My apologies to Ben Franklin for butchering his quote, but you get the idea. Don’t surrender yourself to the easy path of ignorance like the NYTs has done.

Please read my books:
How many NYT reporters does it take to screw in a light bulb? Asking for a friend.
Twenty. One to do the actual screwing and nineteen to write articles providing conflicting details on exactly how the installation of the light bulb was accomplished.
LOL .,.,……….. no one does it better than newspaper reporters, a once highly respected profession. Now they are just a bunch of dopes.
John knocked it out of the park with this comment, “But such learning apparently has not penetrated the dark recesses of ignorance in the Times building.” – John Hinderaker, PowerLineBlog. Gen. Satterfield, keep these coming our way. Nothing like an early morning bit of satire. Snowflakes are going to be triggered. Awwwwwww

Pray Rev Cain for the ignorant, for they need all the help they can get.
Bible stories. They publish many books for kids on Bible stories. I highly recommend them for the liberal woke crowd.
Don’t ya just love it when Gen. Satterfield nails stupid. I love it and one of the main reasons I read his blog. Well done.
Yep, got that right osmodsann. ❤ There is no excuse for stupidity, except unless you are WOKE. Then anything you say is okay. /sarc
Gen. Satterfield wrote, “The Bible is composed of “books,” which contain chapters and verses. It is of interest that the NYT’s writers did not know this. Maybe the “Book of Revelation” should have been a hint that this was a book.” Pow, nailed them.
Is anyone surprised of their ignorance? Not me.
You mean “willfully” ignorant. If you are ‘educated’ at the most respected university, hired by a major publication, and love to write for a living and yet do not know the basics of the Bible, then you are willfully ignorant and unfit for your job. Aren’t there editors at the NYT that are there to catch this level of stupidity?
Guess not, Dennis. Stupidity has no bounds.
No surprise for me.
