[The Irish Ram]

No need manifest. Obama already gives them the leeway they require.

They are going to have once the lawsuits start getting filed.

I'm not sure what this means. Does this mean everyone in Tennessee has to read the Bible cover to cover? That sounds like a lot of work. I'm lazy. If I were to pick an offical state book it would damn sure be the Dummies version, or maybe something with mostly pictures.

That's right, lefties and lawyers have absolutely nothing to do.

How about "My Pet Goat"? That was a George W. Bush favorite.

So what we have state birds, state trees, state flowers, state mottos none of which really serve any purpose so I really don't care if a state wants to have a state book.

 

[Lakhota]

Will other NaziCon (red) states follow Tennessee's lead?

 

[StevenC]

What is wrong with the bible being a state book?

 

[blackhawk]

Will the OP stop confirming their idocy? It's been throughly established.

What is wrong with the bible being a state book?

It violates Tennessee's state constitution which declares '"no preference shall ever be given, by law, to any religion establishment or mode of worship."

The bible is not any sort of establishment, let alone a mode of worship.

It violates Tennessee's state constitution which declares '"no preference shall ever be given, by law, to any religion establishment or mode of worship."

How does it give preference? Does it make people read it? Or follow it?

 

[ScienceRocks]

So the bible is now the law of Tennessee? What happened with What is Causers is Causers and what is gods is gods??

According to the State Attorney General of Tennessee, 'state symbols, such as the designation of milk as the official state beverage, "inherently carry the imprimatur and endorsement of the government."

So per Tennessee's Attorney General, yes it does.
