2012 is the 'Year of the Bible' in Pennsylvania

[Freddie Stubbs]

With all the anticipation and excitement surrounding Groundhog Day, it may have slipped your notice that members of the state House of Representatives ended the month of January by unanimously agreeing on something.

And so it is that 2012 is the “Year of the Bible” in Pennsylvania.

Why?

Well, why not?

1. Go over the river to New Jersey.

Their legislature actually understand the principles in which this country was founded upon.

2. Does that mean they'll be getting rid of it next year?

I propose 2013 be "Year of the Necronomicon"!

3. Meanwhile, could Tom Corbett and Republican Legislators act any LESS Christian-like?

"Luke 16:19-25 "There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man's table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. The poor man died and was carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried."

"In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham far away with Lazarus by his side. He called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony in these flames.' But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony."

4. Unanimously???

That means everyone voted "yea" on this? Not one Rep had the balls to say this was pushing the church/state separation a bit too far?

Thank "god" that no one gives a shit when they vote on these ceremonial bullshit items.

6. That is what unanimously means

[PA Democrat]

5. They should amend it to "Year of THUMPING the Bible"

because most of them show no evidence of ever having actually READ it.
