And now Mississippi has passed Religious Freedom Protection Bill

"The bill will also add "In God We Trust" to the state seal."

I am now truly convinced we are in the death throes of the Christian Right.  A smile forms across my face and a single tear flows down my cheek.

This is a state version of the federal law passed in the 1990s that stopped the feds from prosecuting peyote use in the Native American Church.   Of course it couldn't be passed today because gay rights.

Actually, one of the Democrats in the legislature specifically asked one of the sponsors from the floor if this would allow Native Americans to use peyote, and the answer is no.

Well, Injuns are just forest *******, you see.

Was the Christian Right in its death throes when they forced Teddy Roosevelt to add that bit of sacrilegious triteness to the double eagle in 1908?

Were 1/3 of youngs identifying as "non-religious" in 1908?  http://www.pewforum.org/2012/10/09/nones-on-the-rise/  Hah!  Doubtful.  The Christian Right is grasping at what they have left... anti-gay legislation with some useless earmark to get God onto the state seal of the most socially conservative state in the nation. 

This is how irrelevant they have become on the national scale, shocking/delightful considering they had a U.S. President running on a platform of theocracy just 10 years ago.

Stop using terms when you clearly don't know what they mean.

I'm well aware of what a theocracy is, Al.
