Declaring a State Religion

RE: Declaring a State Religion
It's a bit of a mixed blessing, the constitution. Yes, technically, they could make Christianity the official religion with a 2/3 vote and state ratification. They could also make Islam the official religion with those votes. Or Buddhism. Or Mormonism. Or Catholicism. Or Pastafarianism. Or Satanism. Or Wiccan. Or anything. Aren't you glad they aren't doing those things?

It would make my Christianity more special actually.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Saw this bullshit the other day. Embarrassing as hell. Not the first probably not the last time the dumbassess will let the shit their full of seep out. Fake, no good, ignorant, oppressive, crazy, out of touch with reality lunatics. Tired of this crap to be honest. Why hell did we even leave Europe dammit? Let's go through that shit once more shall we.

A bunch of idiots, a few intelligent individuals, and generally a lot of disagreement over nothing is what passes for the sad sack that is Congress nowadays.

You know you both praised and admonished the Senate, right?

Nope, I just plain praised them. I said it would have to pass the senate, and that won't happen, because unlike the House, the Senate at least manages to get shit done, and the Senate wouldn't pass such a stupid measure, certainly not with a liberal democratic majority like they currently have. The liberals would have to become a powerless minority. I don't see that happening any time soon, not with the way the GOP is running.
