I would love to have them light up like a scoreboard as each representative takes the floor, showing all of the commandments they have broken. If people want so badly to bring religion into politics then lets just show them exactly who they’ve been voting for. Maybe we can get the news networks in on this too, displaying it on the side of the screen similar to a sporting event.

    This probably wouldn’t go as well as you might hope, this just gives them the opportunity to say something like “I know I’m not perfect which is why I’m thankful for the grace of my savior Jesus Christ”.

    Its actually a feature of Christianity that you can sin as much as you want after you do the magic prayer, they are technically supposed to try not to, but the inevitable failure is due to man’s fallibility

      As my dad said, he’ll answer to god when he’s dead. So that means he doesn’t answer to me or anyone else he’s been a complete p.o.s. to. Convenient.

      Wouldn’t that just trigger the “thou shalt not lie” commandment? We’re not their god, we can punish them with immediate judgement.

        See, you’re looking at it logically.

        What you need is a frontal lobe lobotomy so you can happily ignore whatever you please, just like they do.

            I agree, I’m just stating that if it doesn’t come from their own, which it never will because they insulate each other from consequences, it won’t have much of an effect
