Since 2006, the state has had a “homeland security law” ( since 9/11, pretty much the standard excuse for just about any violation of Americans’ civil rights ) which puts some of its citizens at risk of a whole year in jail if they do not acknowledge that The Angry Old Man In The Sky keeps them safe from being blown up by terrorists. Funny, really, because another well-known religion claims it is The Angry Old Man In The Sky who wants them blown up to begin with…

The good news seems to be that most of the state’s inhabitants are not at risk, as this Kentucky Fried Idiocy applies only to those in charge of placing certain plaques outside The Ministry of Peace, er, I mean the Homeland Security building. These individuals could be charged and jailed if they do not display a plaque bearing these blitherings…

Why have certain Christian lawmakers gone to such lengths to make sure this bit of religious propaganda is displayed by a state organization? Well, apart from the hubris so often seen amongst the devout, it helps to blur the lines between church and state, as well as giving the foolish and the gullible the opportunity to “reason” that if The State says it, it must be so.
