Ralph you are being disingenuous…

You could of read the line above the one you referenced.

Byrne was an exception, saying it is unimportant whether some details of the Bible, such as people living for hundreds of years, are factually correct.

Let’s put it this way, I think Byrne gave the most honest answer to that question and I think you are mischaracterizing his statement.

Anyone pick up on Bradley Byrne’s comment that the Bible is only partially true? Which part does he think is untrue? The immaculate conception? Paul’s conversion?

Whether the Bible should be taught in our public schools, for me, depends on the method and purpose. I have no problem with the Bible being taught as an elective as part of a religious studies course or as part of history or literature. There’s no question it has significant cultural relevance, so why not make it an option for students to choose? No big deal.

“CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Seems like this leaves it open for anyone else to do so.

In all honesty, Roy Moore has the best understanding of the law and the separation of powers. Separation between Federal and State governments, Separation between Church and State. I went to the Tennessee Valley Republican Club last Saturday where he was the featured speaker, he was quoting Adams, Franklin, Madison, and the Constitution all through his speech.

I believe he is the best person to be our Governor, unfortunately, he has become so polarizing that I doubt he would be able to win the general election.

From Left in Alabama…

“Ron Sparks had (to me) a more courageous response: He declined to answer questions about his religious views. As in, “…no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” from Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.”

Courage to not answer the question?

Republicans aren’t going nearly far enough. We should demand that candidates for state office take up serpents and hold their debates speaking in tongues.
