Who cares?
We have a Constitutional Republic.
The US Constitution stands with the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.
It doesn't need the backing of a book about mutilating penises written by a bunch of desert dwelling goat-herders.
That originals were probably stolen from Iraq by Hobby Lobby anyway.
Memorizing a script, instead of learning the meaning, and thus the history gets lost.
Hobby Lobby and the Looting of Iraq
Hobby Lobby ( The Green Family) tied itself to the fate of Iraq through participation in the smuggling of antiquities, and this raises a lot of interesting questions, which we'll be discussing here.

Hobby Lobby Stores says it has "a passion for the Bible," but prosecutors allege its passion may have led the company to violate the law.
Hobby Lobby has agreed to pay a $3 million federal fine and forfeit thousands of ancient Iraqi artifacts smuggled from the Middle East that the government alleges were intentionally mislabeled, federal prosecutors said.
Prosecutors filed a civil complaint in New York on Wednesday in which Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby consented to the fine and forfeiture of thousands of tablets and bricks written in cuneiform, one of the earliest systems of writing, as well as other artifacts that prosecutors say were shipped without proper documentation.
Hobby Lobby executed an agreement to purchase over 5,500 artifacts in December 2010 for $1.6 million. Prosecutors said acquisition of the artifacts "was fraught with red flags" and that packages bore shipping labels that described their contents as "ceramic tiles."
A dealer based in the United Arab Emirates shipped packages containing the artifacts to three different corporate addresses in Oklahoma City. Five shipments that were intercepted by federal customs officials bore shipping labels that falsely declared that the artifacts' country of origin was Turkey.
In September 2011, a package containing about 1,000 clay bullae, an ancient form of inscribed identification, was received by Hobby Lobby from an Israeli dealer and accompanied by a false declaration stating that its country of origin was Israel.
Prosecutors said Hobby Lobby has agreed to adopt internal policies for importing cultural property and training its personnel.
In a statement, Hobby Lobby President Steve Green said the company cooperated with the government and "should have exercised more oversight and carefully questioned how the acquisitions were handled." Green said Hobby Lobby began acquiring a variety of historical Bibles and other artifacts in 2009.
"Our passion for the Bible continues, and we will do all that we can to support the efforts to conserve items that will help illuminate and enhance our understanding of this Great Book," Green said.

Bird = Stool-Pigeon (police informant)
Stool Pigeon = One particularly gruesome method used by pigeon hunters was to take a live pigeon, sew its eyelids shut, and nail it to a stool. Its cries of distress would attract nearby pigeons, who would subsequently be killed. It did not take long for this practice to be associated with people who betray their own kind.
