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.
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.
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."
State representative David Sater of Cassville in southwestern Missouri,
sponsored the resolution, but he has refused to talk about it on camera
or over the phone.
KMOV also contacted Gov. Matt Blunt's office to see where he stands on
the resolution, but he has yet to respond.
Mr. Sater is an idiot, so are any of the supporters of such a bill. It is not only ignorant and bigoted, this bill is a violation of human rights and is unconstitutional. The fact that shit like this still happens is just disappointing.
