2012 year of the bible in PA
« on: January 28, 2012, 06:51:47 pm »
Earlier this week, the House of Representatives approved H.R. 535, a resolution designating 2012 the “Year of the Bible.” Introduced by Rep. Rick Saccone (R–Elizabeth Township) and 36 other legislators, the measure insists that “biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil government that are contained in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States.”

It also asserts that “renewing our knowledge of and faith in God through holy scripture can strengthen us as a nation and a people” and declares “our national need to study and apply the teachings of the holy scriptures.”

The resolution was dubbed “noncontroversial” so it could be brought to the House floor quickly and without committee hearings. It passed unanimously.

Ironbite-guess what'll strike this down the second it's challenged though.

Judges 15:15-16
15 Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men.
16 Then Samson said,
   Ã¢â‚¬Å“With a donkey’s jawbone
   I have made donkeys of them.
   With a donkey’s jawbone
   I have killed a thousand men.”

Very civil. 

Now excuse me while I find my own ass whipping jawbone.

Is that how they spell "unconstitutional" in Pennsylvania?

Rabbits are humble and also Christ-like.  Dragons are of Satan.

There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

[21:23] <+Eniliad> Fucksticks
[21:23] <+Eniliad> And it's not even because I'm not Christian
[21:23] <+Lithp> This might be the first time I ever write a representative.
[21:23] <+Eniliad> The resolution means NOTHING
[21:23] <+Lithp> "Seriously. What the fuck?"
[21:23] <+Eniliad> FUCKING NOTHING
[21:24] <+Mira> Do it, Lithp
[21:24] <+Eniliad> All it does is go "Yep, lot of Christians in this state, eh?" "Yep."
[21:24] <+Eniliad> THAT'S IT
[21:24] <+Lithp> It's a symbolic gesture of Christianity owning the government.
[21:24] <+Eniliad> THIS IS ALL THEY COULD DO WITH THEIR TIME
[21:24] <+Alkaline> "Dude, bro, these guys are complete fucking idiots."
[21:24] <+Mira> I am so glad I live in Illinois
[21:24] <+Lithp> Kind of like what Islam is supposedly doing, according to RR.
[21:24] == Eniliad has changed nick to Eniliad|RAGE
[21:24] <+Lithp> Ah, I see what you mean.
[21:24] <+Eniliad|RAGE> YOU FUCKERS WERE VOTED INTO OFFICE TO DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE
[21:24] <+Eniliad|RAGE> YOU HALF-WITTED SHITHEADS
[21:24] <+DarkfireTaimatsu> Wait, what? I'm IN Pennsylvania.
[21:25] <+Eniliad|RAGE> AND THEY'RE GETTING PAID TO DO THIS
[21:25] <+Eniliad|RAGE> THINK ABOUT THAT
[21:25] <+Eniliad|RAGE> THEY ARE GETTING MONEY FOR THIS BULLSHIT
[21:25] * DarkfireTaimatsu changes it to Year of the Pony.
[21:25] <+Lithp> I wonder if anyone at the university will be doing something related to this.
[21:25] <+Alkaline> Eniliad: OH GOD OH JESUS OH GOD OH JESUS OH GOD OH JESUS OH GOD OH JESUS OH GOD OH JESUS OH GOD OH JESUS
[21:25] <+DarkfireTaimatsu> No, wait, that's a terrible idea.
[21:25] <+Eniliad|RAGE> YOU COULD BE DOING SOMETHING TO IMPROVE YOUR STATE
[21:25] * DarkfireTaimatsu changes it to MILLENIUM of the Pony.
[21:25] <+DarkfireTaimatsu> There we go.
[21:25] <+Eniliad|RAGE> YOU COULD BUILD A HOSPITAL
[21:25] <+Eniliad|RAGE> YOU COULD FIX ROADS
[21:25] == Mantorok [sinister_s@hmask-6CB56325.static.tpgi.com.au] has left #fstdt []
[21:25] <+Eniliad|RAGE> NO.
[21:25] <+Lithp> The problem with these situations is that I literally do not know what to say besides, "What the fuck are you doing? Does the term 'separation of church & state' mean nothing to you?"
[21:25] <+Eniliad|RAGE> YOU HAVE TO CIRCLE JERK ON THE BIBLE, ON OUR DIME

[21:26] == Eniliad|RAGE has changed nick to Eniliad
[21:27] <+Eniliad> Ok, got that out of my system

*roasts a church in protest*

In protest of the bill, or in protest of dragons being of Satan?


Oi, my head actually hit the desk, hard. This is frikken stupid...words just can't be thought up how dumbfounded and shocked I am something like this had time and effort spent on for such a useless reason.
I hope someone there takes this up to court and demands their tax money back because they don't want to pay for that bullshit

This is also the Year of the Raisin-Oatmeal cookie, but no one really expects a surge in their popularity.
