We have a law in Texas that an Atheist can't hold office. Really stupid, but it would have to be challenged to get rid of it.
edit: went and looked it up
Article 1, Section 4 of the Texas Constitution states, "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall anyone be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."
I was hoping this was the bi bull video. :p I love it.
“Ohhh noooo, I swore on an a bi bull, I done it three times Jay.”
Dude has like 4 brain cells and they’re all busting their ass to hold his face in a way that doesn’t make him look stupid and they’re doing a terrible job of it.
You know, if they actually followed the moral teachings laid out in the Bible - the spirit, not the letter - I'd almost be okay with this. The problem is that the vast majority of these self-proclaimed Christians don't. Not even remotely close.
They are very much Christians and their book is fucked, even if you try to find a moral in it. What's the moral of a guy being fucked with by his god and being told to murder his own child? Or the moral of a man offering his daughters to a bunch of rapists, or the moral of a bunch of kids getting killed by a bear cause they made fun of a guy being bald? It's a weird ass book through and through

Have you read the Bible? It's pretty horrific all the way through. Any good is pretty well overshadowed. The spirit and the letter are awful.
Turn the other cheek, but also buy your slaves from the heathen that surround you and feel free to beat them with a rod as long as they don't die immediately.
Welp... you're allowed to have your opinion, Matty Boy, you're allowed to express that opinion. But enacting that opinion would be in explicit contravention of the US Constitution. Given that you're from Texas, Matt, I can understand being guided more by feelings and not wanting to read, but it's just the First Amendment, you won't even have to go very far. I believe in you buddy, give it a read, then go shut the fuck up.
I wonder which church he goes to and if they ever endorse a specific person or party that would be grounds to revoke their tax exempt status? Might be worth attending a few local churches this year as an 'out of towner' to record the homily on your phone, you know just to listen to later.
