Another dick can't understand the oath of office....

Another dick can't understand the oath of office....
I love how these morons want to blame us for what we were not around to write.

What part of "no religious test" do they not understand?

And you DO understand the difference between a campaign and holding office, right?  Attacking Ms. Jordan for her atheism is certainly distasteful, but it in no wise violates the rules against religious tests for public office.

No, but in the state that was the home of the Monkey Trial it still shows that a large part of fucking Tennessee is still populated by ignorant shits.

That makes no sense. So by that logic, if a politician runs on segregation, which has happened in our history, and quotes God and calls any rival "dangerous" because they want desegregation, you think that automatically once that bigot is in office, they will suddenly become neutral?

At some point, this sort of bullshit amounts to an impromptu religious test regardless of whether or not it's officiated by the state. 

At that point, people are leaning on the "the sign said no walking, so I drove my truck onto it instead!" theory of legitimacy. My kids run a similar bit of game when I ell them to stop poking each other..and they hover a crooked finger an inch out of each others faces, cackling "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you". You know what, though, if the christers want to play with it..fuck it. I just don't want to hear any christian persecution or religious test bullshit when someone points out that a persons christianity makes them extreme, or a radical, or unsuitable for office.
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!

Southern Christians are as nutty as the Taliban is. The only difference between them is their clothes. Mentally and emotionally they are identical.

And some Southern Christians could pass for Americans, an  idea that has always worried me.

Let's remember the religious mind-set, particularly the conservative religious mind-set. Where the rest of us read "no religious test", they read that as "test for no religion".
