AZ Repub state senator wants bill forcing everyone to go to church

[ashling]

Enter Republican State senator Sylvia Allen.

Sen. Allen can best be described as crazy cat lady meets crazy church lady, so naturally the type of legislation she introduces is part Christian Taliban and part dementia. Apparently the Arizona State senate was discussing one of those psychotic ammosexuals bills about bringing guns into every conceivable place and Allen brought up religion. Allen said:

Probably we should be debating a bill requiring every American to attend a church of their choice on Sunday to see if we can get back to having a moral rebirth,” adding “that would never be allowed.” “I believe what’s happening to our country is that there’s a moral erosion of the soul of America,” she said. (AZCentral)
An erosion of the soul might have more to do with sociopathic Republicans in Congress preventing any meaningful action on climate change or assistance to those in need. So the only people who should be forced to attend church are members of Congress. Both use a collection plate as a slush fund, but the Congressional one is much bigger.

And much like every totally deluded and miserably uninformed Republican lawmaker, yearning for a time that never actually existed and was pretty crappy for a vast array of people, Allen then called on life to be more like the 1950s.

1. I recommend the Church of Stop Shopping.

To make people stop and think about rampant materialism. We are told by advertising that if we buy stuff it will make us happy.
Some people figure out that this is not true.

3. Hit in the head once too often with a big family Bible.

Also claimed the world is only 6,000 years old, and tried to get her son-in-law off when he was having sex with female inmates at a prison.

9. Okay, this is every bit as bad as any Sharia Law

The folks on this site who've told me over and over that Christianity isn't the same sort of threat as Islam are infinitely wrong.

And Islam isn't going to take over the US any time soon.

The threat. THE threat to America comes from "people" like the piece of devil-shit, Sylvia Allen, and EVERY motherfucker who voted for her.

We really can fall into theocracy.

Do not tolerate these things from hell.
