What Are They Thinking?
Ok, it's Tennessee, I get that, but doesn't this seem over-the-top? The Tennessee legislature is going to consider adopting the Bible as its official 'state book'?
Seriously, does any state have a 'state book'? I know we've got state birds, animals, trees, insects, flowers, even fossils, but geez-o-man, a state freakin' book? And, if a state were to adopt a 'state book' would the Bible be the choice?
WASHINGTON -- A Tennessee state legislator has introduced a bill to make the Bible the official state book, after two other Southern states considered similar moves in recent months.State Rep. Jerry Sexton (R) put forward his legislation[/url] Tuesday. He did not return a request for additional comment.Last month, legislators in Mississippi [url=]introduced two bills to designate the Bible as the state book.
Sometimes I wonder where we are going, I really do.

Re: What Are They Thinking?
What are they thinking, you ask?
They aren't.
Tennessee/Mississippi legislatures = 
They may be suffering from too many consonants.
Texass can't be too far behind.
What is their obsession with the Bible? I mean, it's a good, important book, but let's face it, the ones who seem the most obsessed with it are also the one's who don't seem to follow it.
Reminds me of a quote attributed to Gandhi. There are two versions - "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ." or "Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians - you are not like him."
