I think you should stick to scaring children with your magic book, and leave the logic to those who have a basic comprehension.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Nothing I said was untrue.
If it passes, the state will have to spend thousands (maybe even millions) in a futile attempt to defend an obviously unconstitutional law. Wouldn't that money be put to better use feeding the hungry?

There is no law against a state recognizing anyone religion and choosing the Bible as the state book doesn't promote that one religion. Recognition and promotion are two very different things.

Apparently, the law disagrees..huh? Wasn't aware that they'd put you in charge of writing their laws...or our federal laws...or interpreting our constitution....but if that were so, it would explain alot....

This hasn't been tried in court yet, no law has been established against the Bible being a state book.

No law needs to be established. It's pretty clear it doesn't pass the 1st Amendment's litmus test. This is a state government presenting a particular religion's holy book as its state book. It's dead in the water once it gets to court.

No law? How about the freakin' Constitution?
