Arizona lawmaker wants church attendance to be mandatory

[Ludlow]

No panic here. If I ever did bother to show up at their church they'd probably pay me to stay away. But I am always astounded at the number of Americans who don't know their own constitution.

My friend Jesus who came from Mexico and earned his citizenship knows the Constitution better than most Americans.

I can well believe that, Lud but I doubt Americans are alone in not knowing their constitution. I confess the only reason I know ours is that I have it framed on my office wall - thus to consult it when thorny questions arise. :smile:

I'm inclined to agree. I wonder what exactly would be accomplished? I suppose for one hour every Sunday it may ensure no crimes are being committed.

Except the crime of mandatory religious observation.

 

[Ludlow]

Just one question. What group of people voted for this bigoted nutcase?

Mormons

She represents Snowflake Arizona which is a small town near the white mountains in eastern Arizona. If you're familiar with that area you'll know that Snowflake and the surrounding little towns in that area are predominately Mormon. That should answer your question and give you an idea of why she thinks as she does.

And,,for all those who are panicking at the thoughts of another inquisition or witch burning episode in history,,,the population of those little towns isn't much. Taylor, Sho Low, St. John a little to the east,,Eagar. Springerville. All small little Mormon towns.

The population of all those little town combined would still be considered sparse. This article is simply an over reaction which these days is typical.

I remember when the black death came to my little village in the old days and the priest said not to over react.

Seriously love the name of that town...Snowflake.

Just to be clear, I'm not panicking. I do find it very interesting that the news seems to have a large portion of these types of stories. Religious whackery maybe makes the news or it's a sign of the times. It's not just Snowflake Arizona. It's not even just Arizona.

Were you listening to the man in the bird mask? Cause if so...you deserve what you get. You, clearly, did not annoint the door frame with virgin chicken blood...cause if you had, you'd not have had to worry about the plague. silly.

Religious whackery certainly makes the news on this forum, given the number of religious whackos participating!

 

[Ludlow]

yeah right

Well it was a truthful statement which is rare around here

Maybe it's all just a reminder that religious freedom means all religions, eh?

I think we take religion and it's opposition too seriously with the exception of radical extremism.

I guess that works. At least they are beginning to grasp the meaning of equality.
