IMO > By following the Constitution the government will NOT be allowed to ajudicate which religion the government must follow thereby we will be following the Constitution not a ruling written after the Constitution was written.
I do believe this will keep Chrisianity as the religion of America, not an Islamic vision.
I do not. Only two things can do that: immigration control and the ability of Christians in America to defend and spread their faith among other Americans.
The Founding Fathers agreed with me. Establishing religion in government is a short-circut solution to a much larger problem, and it is no less a violation of our individual rights than the gun-banning left advocates.
Furthermore, if an official lobbied and succeeded in establishing a localized Islamic form of government, this law would only bolster that official's position. Think about it: the first amendment proscribes Christian establishment. This law fails to mention Christianity. Why wouldn't this law defend the Hamtramck, Michigan city council's decision to tolerate a vociferous declaration that Allah is the supreme authority in America over the local mosque's loudspeakers?
This HR is demagoguery on the same order as the article I posted that started this thread. I'll do everything I can to fight it and the men behind it.
