In a show of how inclusive they are, they will leave it up to the individual Tennessean to select their own version. We wouldn't want any government establishing which Bible is best. Only congressional activists would do something fascist like that.

My fucking state. Facepalm
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Mine too.... I'm so embarrassed. At least it won't make it through state senate.

My state too, it's a shame it wasn't passed by the Senate, bill was sent back to be reworded. They will not see it again until 2016. Was actually looking forward to the legal battles over this bill if passed.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

The comments are heavily against the measure. Nice to see. It's also nice to see that even some Tennessee Republicans understand that they are painting themselves as fools.

Untrue it was sent back to be reworded. There's a good chance it will pass next year.

RE: Oh Tennessee
Provided that they remove the words "bible" and "officially recognized" in their rewording I'm sure they'll have no trouble passing the bill, next year.  
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!

And it will still be unconstitutional.

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?
