Just read that State Representative Sally Kern, with other lawmakers, and civic and religious leaders, met at the Oklahoma State Capitol this month to sign the "Oklahoma Citizen's Proclamation for Morality." The full text of the proclamation is also posted in the news article here.
In the proclamation, the national economic crisis is blamed on gays, divorce, sex trafficking and child abuse, and "many other forms of debauchery". The solution: Christianity and the Holy Bible (it literally says this). The article goes on and on quoting historical figures regarding religion...just about everyone is quoted except the Constitution of the United States! What ever happen to the separation of church and state?
Just in case Rep. Kern forgot:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
So proclaim all you want Rep. Kern, but as a politician you should keep your Bible and your gods to yourself! And maybe, as a politician, you could also find something more constructive to spend your time on than drawing up religious proclamations?
