Well, given that this is obviously unconstitutional, it's really just an attempt to show how pious they are. Christian politicians are always trying to outdo each other to prove their piety to their dim-witted supporters.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

What other parts of the First Amendment don't you understand?

There, there, climb down off your cross. The United States is secular, but that doesn't meaning we're nailing you guys up. You have the right to worship as you see fit. You do not have the right to use the government to leverage your beliefs onto everyone else.
The Establishment Clause protects you, too. It's a pity you've not studied it enough to understand that.

Nothing I said was untrue.

Because the Christian thing to do is have the wealthy spend an inordinate amount of time playing politics and wasting money rather than help their fellow man?

Sounds like modern day christianity to me. christianity has always been about money most religions.
Except for Quakers they are the true christians not accepting technology living on a farm doing hard work.

They both have the same type of hats the only real difference is.
Quackers are far more liberal with christianity than the Amish are.

There's at least one huge difference. Quakers were the tech nerds of their day, the amish were (and are) institutional luddites.
