No God, No Political Office
Get this horse crap: Seven states in the US have language written into their state constitutions which discriminate on religious grounds, often preventing a person who subscribes to a left-of-center religion (or none at all) from holding public office. Gee. For a country that prides itself on religious tolerance (which is why it was founded to begin with, duh), it sure is starting to sound more and more like a theocracy. For example: If you don't acknowledge the existance of a "Supreme Being" (read: God, but it can imply any god or combination of gods), then you can be prevented from holding whatever office you're seeking. And given the fact that people these days are leaning more and more on the hooey of Religion to make their political decisions, this won't change in the near future. God Bless The USA my arse...
