Mississippi group ignores the Constitution
« on: November 19, 2014, 06:09:08 pm »
This is pretty pathetic.  Along with making Christianity the state religion, they also want to impose Biblical law, and make English the state language.  If you don't speak it, I assume you'd be arrested or something.  This shit hurts my brain.

Here's the article:  http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2014/11/mississippi_group_wants_to_dec.html

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

I guess just getting rid of Mississippi is out of the question? America could really do with less of the crazy states. I mean, you don't need TWO Carolinas do you?

There's nothing unconstitutional about a state declaring an official language; 27 states have already done so.

But, as is quite obvious, it IS unconstitutional to make a state religion or adopt religious laws.

The rest of the south functions very well, thank you very much.

Is it bad that I'm wondering whether we should have just let the South secede and been better off for it?

Or just been more thorough in the Civil War and ingrained it into their thick, honor-culture driven skulls that this shit will not be tolerated.

Back then, before the Reconstruction Amendments, plenty of states--not just Southern ones--had an official religion.

Please, no. I'd be stuck here with the nutjobs then. All the reasonable people would leave, but I can't, really.

The people that want the South to break off (both inside and outside the South) don't give a shit about collateral damage, unfortunately.
