The Missouri state legislature is considering a … truly remarkable bill<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state’s official “majority” religion. House Concurrent Resolution 13 has is pending in the state legislature.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not quite sure how the fellow proposing this bill justifies it against the Missouri<\/a> State<\/a> Constitution<\/a> — but, I suppose, he’s so overwhelmed with righteous zeal that it just never crossed his mind.<\/p>\n
