IMHO ~ God is infinite and omnipotent. There need be NO man-made-law to acknowledge HIM or coerce non-believers to believe in Him. He has blessed each of us with free will and a Savior who died for our sins. Faith cannot be mandated by government. - Or can it?
I welcome and anticipate discussion. I am a Christian who is having difficulty processing this proposed amendment to Alabama’s Constitution.
This is dumb. The amendment bars the state from defending it in court. Since it’s going to immediately be challenged by the ACLU, this is just a feel good move by the GOPe crowd to placate the base, but will do absolutely nothing. They think we’re stupid.
For Blood-washed Bible believers the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ covers the Law . . . it is nailed to the Cross.
I’d rather see the Cross, though sadly it has become something of a magic talisman, good luck charm, to the world in general.
Yep, I picked up the provisional ballot the other day. I see amendments as 1&2 yes and 3&4 no.
This will be struck down almost immediately by the courts. Our un-elected oligarchs have decreed that materialism is our official state religion and they will tolerate no deviation from orthodoxy. People should vote yes anyway. God doesn't need the acknowledgment but our government needs to hear the message.
