npub1zdp33shl69xr0uq3x8n5gsjykq9upycwh6nqm02c3f6x0frrn0dq42vqv8 (npub1zdp…vqv8) I was raised in a "just read the clear meaning of the Bible" subculture -- in practice, the "clear meaning" gets disambiguated to whatever your pastor thinks it is, and what he thinks it is is based on social norms a generation prior to yours mixed with what his pastor thought it was. The process functions as a way to reframe decades-old biases as "the inerrant Word of God".
