RE: Mississippi wants Bible as the official state book
Holy shit, I nearly spit out my drink when I read that it had bipartisan support.

Maybe it's time for a move?
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

I don’t hate it [the South] he thought, panting in the cold air, the iron New England dark; I don’t. I don’t! I don’t hate it! I don’t hate it! –William Faulkner, Absalom, Absalom! (1936)

It's well past time.

Mississippi Democrats are basically moderate Republicans. Mississippi Republicans are frothing-at-the-mouth Tea Party anarchists.

I think the official state orifice of Mississippi should be the anus.

What's wrong with the Bible being a state book? The word of God is the best thing that can happen and you Atheists do not want it due to your own personal agenda???

I don't think there should be any "state" books. Or state birds. Or state flowers. Get the fuck over it and get on to something more important.

I think an official state orifice has some potential.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
- Maryam Namazie

Imagine the uproar if the official state book proposal was The Book of Mormon.

That's why it's fucking wrong.
