Religion in (Texas) politics.

By
Religion in (Texas) politics. Or, how some politicians want to ignore the founding fathers and disregard the separation clause in an effort to push their own theological agenda.

It's a good read.

This is probably why they are so keen on keeping Muslims out: they realize, deep down, that the only way having religion running things is good is if it's their religion.

John Bump, I recently shut up a pro-religion in politics person on Fox News​ by telling him that all these religious freedom laws also protect Muslim freedoms of religion.

Remember the punchup in Louisiana, where they'd moved a bunch of state money to fund religious schools and then someone opened a madrassa and applied for funding and everyone's head exploded?

No, but I remember the Phoenix freedom of religion movement that was swiftly shut down when the Satanists demanded the same privileges.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him !

Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
