GOP Lawmaker Sends Bible to All Colleagues

Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS) recently sent a copy of the Holy Bible to every member of Congress "to help guide you in your decision-making," according to a letter obtained by TPM.

1. Hopefully they all read Jesus's teaching on the mount and become Democrats. n/t

3. GOOD ONE!

[elleng]

2. Yes, he SHOULD be receiving copies of the Constitution!

[napkinz]

4. hey, Rep. Palazzo ...

[tanyev]

5. I predict a tremendously hypocritical scandal in his future.

6. Might I suggest Matthew 5: 38-44 and Exodus 21: 22-23

Clearly, ending a pregnancy is not the same as ending a life. Jesus knew it and when referring to that passage did not bother to correct that assessment.

7. Did he redact everything Christ had to say about the poor?

8. It's always good policy to erase 2,000 years of human knowledge from your brain

when making a decision.

9. Were taxpayer funds used to purchase the Bibles or staff members used to

distribute them? Separation of church and state would apply unless he quickly sends out copies of the Koran and other religious texts in his one Congresman religion awareness efforts.
