The "God" resolution is back, and creepy as ever...
The God Resolution
Michael Silence reports that the "God Resolution" has been brought before the Knox County Commission yet again. For those that are unaware, this little piece of legislation says that America was founded on religious principles and should therefore administer justice and create laws congruent thereto. No specific mention is made, but Christianity is implied as the sole religion this country is based upon.
I'll let Thomas Jefferson - you know, one of the people who DID help found this country - take this one. Your thoughts Tom?
"An amendment was proposed by inserting "Jesus Christ," [into the Constitution]…the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination."
I think we should all propose that his holiness The Flying Spaghetti Monster was the inspiration for the founding of America (and his teachings should also be taught in schools as science, too). Or perhaps the Church of the Fonz was the basis for this country (Anybody see that Family Guy? That was funny.).
Meh, who needs the First Ammendment anyway? Hell, George W. Bush and Alberto Gonzalez are already trying to do away with the Fourth, so why not toss this one out with it?
Update: The resolution has again been withdrawn. Thank...er...God.
