Thread Name: BS: Religious child abuse
Subject: RE: BS: Religious child abuse
Slag said yesterday..."Jim Jones was so far out of the mainstream of Christianity..."

Did anyone read the link that John in Kansas posted just above that?

I wonder, Slag, if you consider Senators Shelby, Brownback & Burr "outside the mainstream of Christianity"?

They introduced a bill to **tell the Supreme Court that it cannot do ANYTHING to interfere with ANY government officer or agency which acts as though "God" is the ultimate source OF law & government**


Is THIS 'mainstream Christianity' at work?

"...the Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review, by appeal, writ of certiorari, or otherwise, any matter to the extent that relief is sought against an entity of Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer or agent of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official or personal capacity), concerning that entity's, officer's, or agent's acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government.'."

It looks like more & more attempts are being made to make "Religious child abuse" irrelevant by making almost anything "in the name of God" unchallengeable....

I read that several times, and despite the legalese, that is the impression I get as to the direction some wish the country to go...even Mike Huckabee 'wishes' to amend the Constitution in this way. What are we to think?
