You know, as much as it would suck to live under theocratic rules like this, it would almost be worth it to watch the Christians fight over the details.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

This is the kind of thing religious people against church-state separation don't think about.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Some believe it protects all christian denominations. To to point where Alabama had an amendment we could vote on that protects against foriegn religious laws being imposed on us. As if the first amendment doesn't already protect against that.

Jesusism is a foreign religious cult. When last I looked it arose in Asia and migrated to Europe.

America didn't start out great, since they had slaves and such, but the one thing they did right has been eroded by religious fundamentalists to the point where people honestly believe this country was founded as a christian centered nation. We rose to the top in a few centuries, but we've been torn down by fundies and the wealthy.
