What a waste of the TN taxpayers’ money. Those goofballs ought to be tossed out of their seats!

The Christo Fascists strike again. This is nothing but the Rightwing and Republican TEAliban’s version of Sharia Law. I also just noticed where the Attorney General of Oklahoma defended the concept of the wholesale distribution of bibles in Oklahoma public schools.
THIS is what is coming from the frightened, fear and hate mongering Right Wingnuttery, the assorted Bagger and Con nuts of the Republican Party. Expect more as these craven GOP pols cater to the fear, hate and bigotry of their odious Bagger and Con base.

Freedom FROM religion is just as important in this constitutional republic as freedom OF religion.
Jesusland South and the Bible Belt…The fu*king Dark Ages haven’t vanished; they have just changed places.

When is the vote to make Religion the Official State Ignorance?

“Tennessee state House ignored serious constitutional concerns — and the wishes of Republican leaders in Statehouse— in voting to make the holy Bible the official state book.”

Tennessee has just lost all rights to govern itself… send in the National Guard

“Pilgrim’s Progress is a book, To Kill a Mockingbird is a book,” said Rep. Patsy Hazlewood, R-Signal Mountain. “The Bible is the word God, it’s a whole a whole different level.”

And lobotomize all Tennessee office holders…

Maybe they will use my version of the Bible. Here is an excerpt, a story about Moses, you can find it in your Bible, I am just putting it in a more modern style, a bit like James Elroy.

Moses was pretty badass before he ordered the killing of several thousand of his own people after the whole Golden Calf incident. Earlier, back when he was still in good with Pharaoh, he had an awakening of sorts, and this was before he started having conversations with YHWH. At one point he saw an Egyptian foreman abusing a Hebrew slave, and it pissed him off. So first he checked to make sure nobody was watching – the Bible is clear about that. The he slit the motherfucker’s throat and then hid the body, buried it in a shallow grave in some sand. God noticed that and must have said that is a man with some considerable potential. But, it turns out that Moses must not have been as careful as he thought because it turns out that a few of the Hebrews saw the killing, and they were suspicious. They confronted Moses and asked him, “what the fuck was that? Are you fucking blind or just stupid, did you think that dude was a Hebrew that you could cut him like that? Maybe we should go tell some people what really happened.” Moses freaked out. The Bible is clear about that. He had enjoyed the killing and was sure he would get away with it, even if he wasn’t entirely sure why he did it. Moses just needed some time to think. The one thing he knew was that his gig with Pharaoh was over, so he decided to book, and made it to a place called Midian, near the Red Sea. He met a guy there named Reuel, who was pretty cool – so cool in fact that he let Moses fuck his daughter who was named Zipporah, who gave birth to his son. (Or maybe the Midianite guy’s name was Jethro. Or maybe that guy Jethro was some other guy who let Moses fuck his daughter too. Or maybe the dude was named Hobab. Depends on how you interpret the next line in Exodus). Meanwhile, Pharaoh died. So that is the story of Moses’ first killing. Like I said, that was before he started to talk to god, and about the time that god figured he had found just the person to carry out his hits. Later, though after he has become a part of YHWH’s crew, the Allmighty noticed that one of Moses’ sons had failed to shave off the top of his dick. God tells Moses, didn’t I warn you about that motherfucker? I am going to kill you. Fortunately his Midianite wife was there when that conversation took place and she took action, grabbed a sharp rock, and used it to chop of the top of her son’s dick, and through the foreskin at the feet of the screaming child. (The Bible is quite specific about those details). You would think that after saving Moses’ ass, and showing that kind of devotion to YHWH that this god might have some kind feelings for Midianites in general. Think again. Because in the book of Numbers we learn that when other Hebrews decided to fuck them some Midianite women YHWH ordered at hit on the men and the women, which Moses carried out—killing thousands in the process. In fact the only thing that kept YHWH from annihilating all of the Hebrews is the fact that a dude named Phineas stabbed one married couple with a spear while they slept in their tent. So YHWH showed a little restraint and merely sent a plague that killed 24,000 of them. Yes this is all in the Bible. Don’t you feel uplifted?

These people are truly pests… wouldn’t making the Bible the state book effectively make Christianity the state religion and therefore establish a religion?

One way or another, the Abrahamic religions have all gotta go if humans are to survive.

“It is sponsored by Republican Rep. Jerry Sexton, a former pastor…”

Former pastors, or even present ones should not hold public office. Having some wind bag cleric involved in the writing and passage of civil laws is just insane.

“… the holy Bible …”

Next step: voting God the official god.

And not even American men!

“Pilgrim’s Progress is a book, To Kill a Mockingbird is a book,” said Rep. Patsy Hazlewood, R-Signal Mountain. “The Bible is the word God, it’s a whole a whole different level.”

It’s a whole-a whole-a different level! A hunk-a hunk-a burnin’ love!

Oh, so true. It is just not possible for critical thinking is considered evil to them. I know as many in my own family are Southern Baptists and just refuse to think outside their own box. Curiously, many of my family from that side now reside in Tennessee – go figure.

Oh, oh! – Can I be the official devil? I’m gay and have committed sodomy many MANY times, so there’s that. I’m kinda not really into fire so much … or torturing people. Oh, and I really like cats. Am I not in the running anymore?

When will red state yahoos finally come to realize that every book in the bible was written by men and not by some god? How difficult is that to understand?

Someone should immediately propose to make the Koran the “Official State Book” and see how that goes over in the State House.
But only if we get a chance to film the reactions.
