The OT was not written in the 1st person by God, it was written by men.
Moses wrote Genesis about 1,500 BC. Was he inspired by God? Were all the books of the OT? Doubtful.
The NT was a direct transcription of God in the 1st person.
So, the Bible cannot be trusted to be accurate and the Word of God.
Most Christians, including your beloved Catholic Church will disagree with you.
Do, tell, who wrote the book of Luke and what was their role during the life of Jesus?
Who wrote the Book of Acts and did they witness each event in person?
The OT was written by men
The NT was written by the Apostles (4 Evangelists) and is more accurate
The Catholic church uses the NT
Luke rote Acts, but referenced some OT events
Luke was a literate gentile, a doctor, most apostles were illiterate fishermen.
What's your problem? Over three million people just died from Covid. In the tribulation period billions are going to die from disease, war, and starvation. Millions die each year now from these causes.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is calling Oklahoma education Superintendent Ryan Walters’ new memo on integrating the bible into all classrooms and curricula not only outrageous but also without any legal basis.

Instead of having to sue religious pedophiles to cease and desist attacking our children, we need laws with teeth to go after these religious zealots.
The developing minds of our kids are very susceptible to the pollution spread by those nutcases, and their efforts to influence youngsters with absolute bs should be made criminal, with severe punishment. But, good luck with that since you have, like Oklahoma, religious radicals in charge of the education of children.
Of course you will. Because your opinions are not based in reality.
The move has already sparked criticism and legal challenges. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said it plans to file a lawsuit challenging the Louisiana law because it is “blatantly unconstitutional” and violates the “separation of church and state.”
Landry pushed back on the criticism, telling Smith that he “didn’t know that living the Ten Commandments is a bad way to live life.”
“I mean, look, this country was founded on Judeo Christian principles and every time we steer away from that, we have problems in our nation,” he said.
This is from the person who signed the bill trying to push the bill to put the Ten Commandments into public schools. He didn’t say anything about teaching history because they’re not pushing it to teach history. They're using it to influence people into practicing Christianity.

A majority oi the people's elected representatives have to pass the bill before a governor can sign it into law. That's what a representative democracy is. And the governor has no power to dictate to them what bills they will or will not pass. That he agreed with that majority and signed the bill just means he agreed with the text of the legislation or at least had no serious objection to it.
In this case it was a Superintendent of Education, not the governor, who mandated it and he probably did overstep his authority by not allowing the various school districts to select curriculum. But should those school districts adopts his memo as policy, I honestly don't see any harm and it could do a lot of good. If not, then I'm sure the policy will be rescinded/reversed/
But those telling Oklahoma or any school district that they cannot do that are the ones violating the Constitution. Placing the Ten Commandments, the Constitution, and a Bible in every classroom in no way violates either the letter or intent of the Constitution so long as they are not used to push any particular religious doctrine.
Did the governor sign the bill to promote the teaching of history, architecture, and culture? Or did he sign the bill to promote Christianity in public classrooms?
Landry pushed back on the criticism, telling Smith that he “didn’t know that living the Ten Commandments is a bad way to live life.”
“I mean, look, this country was founded on Judeo Christian principles and every time we steer away from that, we have problems in our nation,” he said.

Landry is absolutely right about that. There is a huge difference between establishing Christianity as a required religion or even pushing it as a required religion and:
1) Allowing Christian to freely express their faith and/or
2) Promoting concepts of Christian principles in our laws and culture:
--all are equal under the law
--do no harm
--right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness
--right to the property one has lawfully and ethically earned or acquired
--sanctity of marriage and authority of parents for their children
--concept of God given/unalienable rights that government cannot take away
--etc.
"Since the first English settlements in North America, Christianity and its sacred text have had a significant influence on American jurisprudence. This reflects Christianity’s imprint on Western legal traditions in general and the English common law in particular. Early colonial laws, especially in New England’s Puritan commonwealths, drew extensively from biblical sources as interpreted within the colonists’ theological traditions. Christianity also contributed to an evolving constitutional tradition in the colonies and, later, newly independent states and nation, culminating in the U.S. Constitution. This is evident in broad principles, such as the separation of powers needed to check the abuse of government powers vested in human actors marred by original sin (Genesis 3), as well as in specific provisions such as setting standards of weights and measurements; requiring “the testimony of two witnesses” for convictions for treason; and prohibiting double jeopardy, cruel and unusual punishment, and corruption of blood. . ."

So-called 'secular' American citizens who say they have no faith or religious beliefs are just as bound to those 'Christian' concepts as are the believers which is why our Constitution remains intact since its ratification in 1788. They form the basis for the huge lion's share of all our moral codes. The fact that this or that person or this or that group deviates from that norm is irrelevant.
I do not agree with the state mandating that the Ten Commandments be posted or Bibles be placed in classrooms but I sure have no problem with that recommendation and the teaching of how our JudeoChristian heritage is the primary driving force that created the USA as it was intended to be.

Lots of blabbering without directly answering the question. I'll simplify it for you.
The governor signed the bill to:
A) promote the teaching of history, architecture, and culture.
B) promote Christianity in public classrooms.
A or B.
Landry pushed back on the criticism, telling Smith that he “didn’t know that living the Ten Commandments is a bad way to live life.”
“I mean, look, this country was founded on Judeo Christian principles and every time we steer away from that, we have problems in our nation,” he said.
