AZ State Senator Wants Mandatory Church Attendance Law (Picture, Video)
Mixing politics and religion can be a tricky business.
U.S. President Thomas Jefferson said it best in his letter to the Danbury Baptists in 1802.
“Legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between church and State.”
However, if it were up to Arizona state Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, it would be mandatory for Americans to attend a “church of their choice.”
“How we get back to a moral rebirth in this country I don’t know, since we are slowly eroding religion at every opportunity that we have,” Allen said during a state legislative committee meeting Wednesday. “Probably, we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we could get back to having a moral rebirth.” MOREHERE
LOLOLOLOL! If that happened I’d be Muslim. Arizona is one weird state. That’s where Dave Hodges lived. It’s a different kind of place populated by tea baggers, Mormons, and Dave Hodges. Good God, what a combination.
I don’t get how that would have any impact on morality. Immorality seems to be equally rampant among churchgoers and non-churchgoers alike – it may just be cloaked differently.
