Democratic lawmakers in Massachusetts want to take "God" out of the oath of office for every elected official in the Bay State.
The bill, proposed by State Representative Mindy Domb, D-Amherst, would amend the state Constitution -- the oldest in the country -- from "so help me, God," to a longer, secular version: "This I do under the pains and penalties of perjury."
The measure was approved by the Joint Legislative Committee and is supported by atheists who believe invoking God violates the establishment clause and goes against America's pluralistic history.
"It's yet another cynical attempt to erase the rich legacy of faith that has been part of our Commonwealth form the Pilgrims to today," Andrew Beckwith, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute, told News and Tribune.
Since being ratified in 1780, the state constitution has been amended 121 times, a process that could take up to several years and requires approval from two consecutive legislatures before being cleared for a statewide ballot, to let voters decide. The most recent change was in 2006 when voters approved the state's health care law, which served as a model for ObamaCare.

On the road to the ending of the United States as we know it.
As I said yesterday, Massachusetts is the “mothership” of Socialism/Marxism. If America wanted to cut the head off of Socialism/Marxism, it would force MA to leave the country, and it would not allow any of it’s young people to go there to get an “education.” We allowed our youngest daughter to go to BU and she came home “ruined politically.” Yeah, CA is bigger, but it got its “start” down the road to where it is today by the “migration” of the $hit people from MA! Sorry massmike if you live there, you must be one of the few sane people who call it home. We have the distinction here in Danville, CA of having “hosting” that Piece of $hit, Adam Schiff here in one of our high schools, when his parents “migrated here” from Framingham, MA!

Well, at least now the Dems are not openly showing just who they are. They are officially the anti-Christianity party.
“Democratic lawmakers in Massachusetts”
Someone needs to tell them that they are the real racists, so they will be shamed out of this, before it’s too late!!
These types are utter fools. Denial of God on earth they will be denied entrance into heaven. Sucks to be them.
Ass-a-chews-shits should remove democraps. Just as stupid as Californians
Faith is one of the road blocks to total domination by the Left. Their revolution continues.
“They did not want to retain God in their knowledge...”
“Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.”
We will soon see the results of dismissing God from the life of our country. It won’t be pretty.
But Aloha Snackbar will still be OK, right?
What do you expect from a massoftwoshits?
It is hard to believe that the Cradle of Liberty has degenerated into the Cesspit of Totalitarianism.
How long before they dig up folks like Paul Revere and dump them out to sea?
