I'm sure those two douchebags think they are fine Murricans, Summer.
Who knows? Perhaps they are.

Okay, so why would these people think there were enough Muslims in Tennessee's capitol to justify such an addition? And, remembering from Lawless that some versions of Christianity that actually encourage ritual foot-washing, I'm actually surprised that they wouldn't have approved. And I'm sure that if any Muslim tried to wash his feet in there, he'd consider that sink unclean. And besides, if it were really meant for wudu (Muslim ritual washing), you'd think that they'd find some way to make it easier to wash your elbows, because doing it in the sink just feels awkward.

He makes the best paintings. I had the one of Teddy Roosevelt killing Bigfoot with an AK-47 while smoking a cigar and looking dapper as fuck as my wallpaper for a while. Booyah.

Ignorance and stupidity spring from human imagination as readily as god does, apparently.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

LOL
Muslims only wash their feet in the mosque.
If the state capitol would turn into a mosque that would indeed be troubling - but it is impossible since due to the seperation of religion and state.
I think this says alot about the representative who probably knows nothing about that seperation or ignores it, so an assertion like this one is only possible for such a mind.

There have been determined efforts to display the ten commandments in government buildings. I believe that there were one or two where it was done, which led to a fight to get it removed. The right-wing in the USA would like nothing more than to get their church into our state. The Constitution makes it difficult, but I am wary of considering it impossible.
