* JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour indicated Wednesday he was inclined to sign a bill that would require all public buildings to have postings of the Ten Commandments, "In God We Trust" and excerpts from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.

The Mississippi House overwhelmingly approved the measure without much debate Wednesday. The Senate approved it Tuesday, but not before one lawmaker tried to kill the bill.

Barbour spokesman Pete Smith said "the governor is inclined to sign" the bill into law.

* Kansas recently passed an amendment to their state constitution that not only makes same-sex marriages illegal, it also forbids same-sex couples from using other legal means to obtain any of the same benefits, including power of attorney and hospital visitaton. It may even prevent state employers from offering same-sex partner benefits.

While somewhat comical in it's kinda lame own way, the topic title only encourages more stupid ass topic titles from PAD. ALso, your second article makes no mention of religion.
 
Not really on topic, but I found this in the website you linked to.

It's about an 18 year old boy who performed consensual oral sex on a 15 year old boy. State law has a "romeo and juliet" clause, which allows for a maximum sentence of 1 year if there's less than 4 years difference. The law doesn't apply to same sex couples though, so he got 17 years in jail.

They were both residents at a school for developmentally disabled youth.

Though, on topic, why is it just one person verbally opposed? Seriously, every time I turn around another state is embarressing americans, and it's usually a southern state. Sometimes I wish they'd just have a new secessionist movement so they'd go away.
 
Holy crap, the sermon on the mount? That's absolutely unconstitutional. In God We Trust is ok, and the 10 commandments thing is being heard right now.

Note to politicians: we won the Cold War. We don't need to show the world that we're better than the "godless commies" anymore.

Matthew 6:5, idiots, try reading that Bible instead of thumping it for a change.

Why?

Some people believe in zero gods. Some in one. Some in multiple gods. Others aren't sure.

Why should U.S. currency advertise a particular viewpoint?

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion ya know. And a wiccan, who believes in multiple gods, lives across the street from my house in MA. I'm also about 30 minutes from salem, MA, which probably has the highest percentage of neopagans (primarily wiccans) anywhere in the u.s., and probably the world (again, percentage of the population). There's also plenty of hindus in my area who believe in multiple gods as well.
 
Considering this is an attempt to mock my correctly themed "Religion of Peace" updates, so called because Muslims in great numbers do in fact refer to their religion as such, I googled "Religion of Love" to see if it returned anything on Christianity.

Top results!

1. The Religion of Courtly Love

2. Of Religion and Love by Uma Tiwari Tariang

3. The Religion of Love, by Abd-ru-shin

Now, let's look at the first link that comes up that really comes close to religion.

Religion of Love--A Book Review In my opinion the whole thesis is based on the philosophy of pantheism and the approach is made by the services of mankind. Religion of love is the true religious idea but if the approach is made through the service of mankind only, then the process is made imperfect, partial and unscientific. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

I find this whole mocking of Bhagavad-gita to be terribly offensive, I demand an apology.

Oh and eldad9? Is your hockey helmet a little tight today? I mean, what does anything Christian have to do with Bhagavad-gita?

EDIT: Oh, and Matthew 6:5 is "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." So if you're going to quote scripture, make sure you have that right as well mmmmkay?

Super! Thanks for reading.
 
I live in Kansas and voted against the same-sex marriage ban, but it didn't matter. (passed 70-30).

Also I try not to carry cash when possible because I don't, in fact, trust in any god.

PAD, google religion of peace. The vast majority of people using it are using it to attack Islam. Actually, the first two pages that come up all seem to be attacking Islam.

Wow you made a google search of the form "(phrase A) (phrase B)" and got results that refer to B in the context of A. What a surprise.
 
Hey, I'm an agnostic that doesn't like "In God We Trust" either, but the courts haven't seen fit to get rid of it. The Lemon test would likely take care of the sermon on the mount stuff, and like I said the 10 Commandments thing is pending, but so far there's been no real challenge about "In God We Trust". I'm guessing that would be more likely to fall under the "unspecific tradition" category that the courts approve of, like the prayer to open Congressional sessions and stuff.

But yes, "E Pluribus Unum" (One out of many) is a far better national motto because it's actually true.

The last challenge was that athiest in california who's going after everything, but the courts ruled he wasn't able to bring the lawsuit (about his daughter and he didn't have full custody, or something like that). Most observers seemed to believe that they would have had little choice to remove the mention of god, but that was for the pledge.
