Well, your amendment allows states to set up official churches. These churches will pass laws very similar to those they had previously. Laws like mandatory attendance under punishment of whippings, mandatory tithings, banishments/exiles for the wrong beliefs, whippings, beatings, executions for heathens, and Catholics, ect...
And I'll break every one of their damned laws. With impunity.
The first guy to come to my house to enforce mandatory church attendence is definitely in for a "religious experience". He's going to meet God.
True.

Really? Says who?

Well, as a Catholic myself, I'd hardly support the establishment of a mandatory Protestant church -- although I have to admit that would be a possibility. That being said, there's no reason to assume that these new state churches would necessarily enact such draconian laws. It's more likely that any establishmentarian legislation would be more along the lines of protecting the right of persons to display Christian holiday symbols on public property, etc.
Personally, I think a few horsewhippings and banishments would be a boon to society -- but I digress.

Let me get this straight: You don't mind when the government confiscates half your yearly income to pay for Piss Christ and midnight ghetto basketball, but you'd shoot somebody for trying make you go to church?
What a man. Thanks for writing.
I invite anyone from any level of government to come to my house and impose the state religion on me. Then they'll understand (for a fraction of a second) why we have the 2nd Amendment.
