While I won't make as big of a deal of it as the Governor did, I will offer up an amendment striking "that is influenced by or" from the text of the legislation.

What's the point of the second clause of B

I don't think there is any particular point of Clause B other than just reaffirming the obvious. Just by looking at the Southern legislature I imagine it's some sort of response to their use of the Bible as a legislative tactic, and in that case I would support a bill in that light.
Also Governor with all due respect, I'm not sure how an affirmation like that would hurt religious freedoms, that is, if I'm interpreting this correctly.

I am curious other than the nonoperative language about Bibbullz and Jeebus what policies the sponsor thinks this bill would prevent. Weve targeted big banks, debt collectors, wage cheats, bestiality, incest, child trafficking, and lynching. Id hope no one would actually oppose these policies just because the Bible also prohibits them. After all, the Bible says thou shalt not murder ... is a ban on murder religiously inspired? Plus its not like weve mandated Bible reading in schools as our friends in other Regions have done with the dull and uninspiring teenfic Dreadnought.

I don't have a problem with much of the legislation the South has passed, seems to me that it's unnecessary to include the word of one religion in the business of state.
