That's pretty fucking sick. The president of FACT shares the same last name of my children, and I live in TN. I feel like I need a scalding hot shower and a glass of lambrusco now.

They tried something similar here in Michigan, but there was too much backlash for it to pass.

Guess they didn't believe their godboy when he is supposed to have said: Judge not lest you be judged. I've noticed they are not up on a lot of his bullshit.

Plenty of fucking morons here too. Michigan would be just as bad as Tennesse if it wasn't for the lower third of the lower peninsula. I was actually quite surprised that the bill didn't go through.

All the nice things Jesus said are quickly dumped for the larger issue of saving souls from eternal torment in Hell. That's the problem with Islamo-Christianity and why they can't co-exist with other religions and with secular, free society.
You can re-read all the verses about "Love thy neighbor" and "do not attack first for Allah doesn't like aggression" to your heart's content but when you really believe that unbelievers and blasphemers will be condemned to eternal Hell, all that becomes a distant secondary priority.
