The Oldest Book Printed with Movable Type is Not The Gutenberg Bible: Jikji, a Collection of Korean Buddhist Teachings, Predated It By 78 Years and It’s Now Digitized Online
The history of the printed word is full of bibliographic twists and turns, major historical moments, and the significant printing of books now so obscure no one has read them since their publication.

This is bullshit. It sure looks to me like a subtle first step toward outlawing any religion but Christianity in the military and using a lack of religiosity as a disciplinary issue.

Sen. Eric Schmitt tweeted this after a Senate Judiciary hearing where he accused Jack Smith of perjury based on texts about a "Hawks" game; Smith attended an lowa Hawkeyes college game featuring Caitlin Clark in Maryland on Feb. 3, 2024, not an Atlanta Hawks NBA game.
