Florida's state bird is the Mocking Bird but not everybody owns one.

Translation: Enshrining wingnut values and giving them the force of law is, by definition, small government.

Giggle!

NO I thought I was going for, "Never kick a terd on a hot day".

It's been getting hotter from global warming, and this terd has been getting softer and softer, and the softer it got the more you kicked it. Now you've got shit on your foot and the worm has turned. Now the hot shit is going to kick you for a while.

When you Meddle hard you must Mettle harder!

The poll by the Democratic-leaning firm found that 57 percent of Republicans "support establishing Christianity as the national religion" while 30 percent are opposed. Another 13 percent said they were not sure.

Horrible. A vague declaration of non-denominational broad Christianity being the official religion? My goodness, what happens if we actually went further than that and picked a specific sect of Christianity (like Episcopalianism), or worse, provided state funding. We might become authoritarian fascist states like Norway, Finland or Denmark.

In truth, given the history of those countries, it would probably kill off religion faster than anything else. The Church of Norway doesn't exactly pack 'em in on Sundays.

Hey, if you're open to such radical thinking, why not let countries with Russian minorities govern themselves without military invasion from Russia?

The day ain't over yet!

What percent of those Christians advocate beheading for those who leave Christianity? Or for insulting jesus? Which ones want to end democracy?

Which ones travel to foreign countries and machine gun crowds of teenagers, deliberately self organizing groups to kill as many random non Christians as possible?

Christianity has mild elements of intolerance. but intolerance of all others is central to islam.

Good quote about the difference : "Islam is just like Christianity, only much MUCH worse."

For hundreds of years, most Christians did. European governments drew and quartered people - worse than any means of execution ISIS has yet stooped to. Both Catholic and Protestant churches burned people alive.

By your logic, any nation was suicidal to allow Chistians to cross its borders, as Chistians would surely never think past the barbaric injunctions in their scriptures (which have no problem with slavery and other awful practices).

Somehow it worked out differently. Most modern Christians are perfectly decent people.
