Snarky Sermon on the Blog

When you read it, in print, it sounds distinctly silly: Missouri legislators in Jefferson City are considering a bill that would name Christianity the state's official "majority" religion.

Does the God of Abraham need a piece of paper filed in Missouri to feel good about His omnipotence? Somehow, I think not.

Does the God of Abraham need the state that brought us Kenneth Lay, John Ashcroft, and Roy Blunt to sacrifice the liberty of other religious believers in order to appease Him? I think not.

As of this writing, House Concurrent Resolution 13 is pending in the Missouri state legislature.

Many Missouri residents had not heard about the bill until Thursday.

Karen Aroesty of the Anti-defamation league, along with other watch-groups, began a letter writing and email campaign to stop the resolution.

The resolution would recognize "a Christian god," and it would not protect minority religions, but "protect the majority's right to express their religious beliefs.

The resolution also recognizes that, "a greater power exists," and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, "justified recognition."

Here's the clencher:

State representative David Sater of Cassville in southwestern Missouri, sponsored the resolution, but he has refused to talk about it on camera or over the phone.

Oops! The reporter neglected to add the capital R after David Sater's name. Intentional act?

Speaker Rod Jetton Appoints Rep. David Sater to Chair House Appropriations – Health, Mental Health and Social Services Committee

JEFFERSON CITY – House Speaker Rod Jetton today announced that Rep. David Sater, R-Cassville, will chair the Missouri House Appropriations – Health, Mental Health and Social Services Committee for the remainder of the 93rd General Assembly

So the man who wants to name God #1 will also control the health, mental health and Social Services of Missouri's citizens.

Too bad, Missouri. If Sater's resolution passes, you'll have to deal with all of those infidels...

Including the native ones that were there long before your first Christians arrived.

Thus Endeth Today's Sermon.

Go forth today, and try not to laugh at Missouri Republicans.

Forgive them, for they know not what they do; but, keep an eye on them at all times!

I mean it, damn it!

So you think you know Delilah?
