There's also a law that says before you drive a car through the middle of town you must have someone go ahead of you on a horse and warn people you're coming. Most every state has crap like this that's still on the books. What this is about isn't that atheists are barred from holding public office, they're not. It's that atheists are looking for every opportunity they can to remove anything that even hints at God off the planet. That part of Tennessee's state Constitution was written long before the religion of atheism began its war on all the other religions..... |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

And then there's this:
Don't they have editors?
I wonder if Ms. Greene would want them removed from the legislature. From what I get, no one has made an issue of her atheism, and it appears that she feels like a "second-class citizen." Unless she's actually been discriminated agains, she's got nothing other than her feelings. |

It rather does point to the US being founded as a Christian nation. |

I used to live in Chester, UK where there was a law still in place that a Welsh person found within the city walls after sunset could be shot with a crossbow. Obviously, it's a completely ridiculous law - there's no bloody way to buy a crossbow over there nowadays. Believe me, I tried. |
