Another day, another poor, persecuted religious, um, majority.
Republicans propose declaring Idaho a 'Christian state'
(Reuters) - Members of a county Republican Party in Idaho are to take up a measure on Tuesday evening that would declare the state a Christian one to bolster what the proposal calls the "Judeo-Christian bedrock of the founding of the United States."
The resolution to be voted on by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee is non-binding, meaning it does not have the effect of laws or rules.
The measure argues that the Christian faith is under "strident attack" in the United States, and cites as evidence the absence of Christian traditions and symbols in public institutions such as schools.are these republicans different from those who are trying to change curriculum to teach the hate and discrimination and obey without question the right wing mantra, where's the God in that? obviously the latter are working with an evangelical God of all things hateful but if the former can be a part of those who indict all Muslims for the actions of a few than they too are apat of the same party as the evangelicals. that said what will a state that is a Christian state look like Texas, Arizona, Tenn., Ga and the rest who want to teach their kids how to be "good" republicans.
But, some years ago, I watched my lovely and brilliant GF ask a Christian evangelist who had accosted us on the street a single question which completely stopped the woman's spiel in its tracks. I thought I'd pass it along.
The woman was going into the persecuted Christians bit and saying the country needed more God in its schools, government, etc. GF waited for a pause and asked, "If God needs government to defend Him, doesn't that make him pretty weak?"
Gravity suddenly became unusually strong under the woman's chin.
Fundamentalists often speak of their "awesome" God. But, honestly, how awesome is any deity that needs government aid? That requires the power of earthly law be turned to His defense. How omnipotent is a Supreme Being whose influence will wane without His glory being touted daily in public schools?
wow i think i'll leave you to ponder that one
