Had an argument with my very liberal son last night. He thinks zero doesn’t want his birth certificate shown because it says he’s a Muslim.

My son accused me of thinking he was born in Kenya and I said I have no idea where he was born because he won’t show us his BC and has spent lots of money trying to keep everyone from seeing it.

Do BCs state religion? My crazy theory (everyone has one) is that the father isn't listed (thus the word 'bastard' could be thrown around.)

What state puts religion on the birth certificate?

suggest asking your son to produce any birth certificate that lists religion. I’ve got two originals from different states in my hand (with raised seals and file numbers) - nothing about religion.

When faced by wild ridiculous statements by RATs, just ask them to produce factual evidence or shut up.

Very disappointed to hear Rush say this morning that he does not care where Obama was born.

Tell your son that the Hawaiian birth certificate, long form, does not even show anyone's religion.

Show him this, a BC from a child born the day after Obama, actually 19 hours later on a weekend, so the form was unlike to have changed in between the births.

Now that's a little hard to read, so here is one from 1963 that has all the same fields. (The '63 copy was made in 1998 and was cropped to only show the copy of the original, and not the copy certification information (Seal, signature, etc) but one can see that the field are the same.)
