Bill To Make Christianity Official State Religion
Why can't people try reading the constitution every now and then? Why is it that people are so stupid in thinking that they can just go and change the foundation that this country was founded on with out consequences? Thoughts?

Re: Bill To Make Christianity Official State Religion
Here is the Bill
Source So not only are we breaking constitutional law we are changing history too by saying that the founders "recognized a Christian God and used the principles" which is not true yes there may have been a couple of Christians in the continental congress but most where deists and agnostics. I swear this Christian historical revisionist movement is really starting to piss me off.

Re: Bill To Make Christianity Official State Religion
Yeah this is pretty dumb... although it is true that many of the Founding Fathers WERE Christian, that does not really have anything to do with anything...

Re: Bill To Make Christianity Official State Religion
Think of it this way, it must be an enormous relief for the Christian God to be finally official in the USA

Re: Bill To Make Christianity Official State Religion
holy crap... i live in Missouri, and haven't heard a thing about this. i didn't think people in our state House were that whacked out. and to think they held out on my $1000 scholarship last fall for about 2 or 3 months while debating if we (the state) had enough money to pay those scholarships (anyone who scores a 30 or better on the ACT & attends school in-state gets $2000 per year, $1000 each semester). Luckily, it didn't get held up this semester in the interest of debating whether we should make Christianity the official majority state religion. Morans.

Re: Bill To Make Christianity Official State Religion
I suppose there's two ways to look at this: either the proponents of this bill are utterly stupid, or they have other motives. By this, I expect that they realize that it is unconstitutional. They (quite reasonably) expect someone to challenge it, and that the case would eventually go up to the Supreme Court (through numerous appeals by the state). There, the hope would be that an opinion would be rendered by the now right-leaning court in favor of the state. The only other way that it would hold up would be a constitutional amendment, and there certainly aren't the numbers in either the House or the Senate, let alone the entire population, to pass this bullsh**.
As such, it's somewhat akin to South Dakota's illegalization of abortions. They know it's unconstitutional, but hope it will eventually make it to the SC, and that the justices, led by Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas, etc. would render an opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade (1973).

I will not rely upon the fickle appoval of man or government. Jesus Christ is who validates my faith.

Re: Bill To Make Christianity Official State Religion
I think that you are getting it Rmadd the problem that they don't realize is that right leaning justices tend not to legislate from the bench so I have a feeling that their plan will backfire if it passes at all (and part of me hopes it does for that reason)

Re: Bill To Make Christianity Official State Religion
<~~ yep.... i'm pretty sure it was Roberts who, despite not giving away a whole lot during his confirmation hearings, mentioned something about not being likely to overturn precedent too easily. and, as you pointed out, they're conservative, so not likely to approve so much of judicial activism.
