State bill proposes Christianity be Missouri’s official religion

Missouri legislators in Jefferson City considered a bill that would name Christianity the state's official "majority" religion.

House Concurrent Resolution 13 has is pending in the state legislature.

Many Missouri residents had not heard about the bill until Thursday.

Karen Aroesty of the Anti-defamation league, along with other watch-groups, began a letter writing and email campaign to stop the resolution.

The resolution would recognize "a Christian god," and it would not protect minority religions, but "protect the majority's right to express their religious beliefs."

The resolution also recognizes that, "a greater power exists," and only Christianity receives what the resolution calls, "justified recognition."

State representative David Sater of Cassville in southwestern Missouri, sponsored the resolution, but he has refused to talk about it on camera or over the phone.

KMOV also contacted Gov. Matt Blunt's office to see where he stands on the resolution, but he has yet to respond.

"protect the majority's right to express their religious beliefs."

It's time to start the lion feedings again and show these idiots what real persecution is. Let's burn the churches and force them to hold their services in secret rooms! Let's cover their bodies with tar and light them on fire to be used as torches for our garden parties! Let's throw stones at them as they pass us on the streets!

Sarcasm aside, I think too much freedom has eroded their understanding of what persecution is. They spit on the graves of the real martyrs who have died for their beliefs, those under Roman rule, under Soviet rule, under Chinese rule, under Nazi rule, Christians in Sudan, Armenians, Assyrians, Maronites, Copts, Dhimmis, etc.

Please, stop with the persecution nonsense. You have more freedom to worship as you please in this country than anywhere else in the world. Rejoice in that freedom; don't take it for granted.
