I don't know which is worse. The resolution forwarded by these Congressmen or the fact that there are historical precendents.

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should issue a proclamation-- (1) designating a day for humility, prayer, and fasting for all people of the United States; and (2) calling on all people of the United States-- (A) to observe the day as a time of prayer and fasting; (B) to seek guidance from God to achieve a greater understanding of our own failings and to learn how we can do better in our everyday activities; and (C) to gain resolve in meeting the challenges that confront our Nation.

Umm ... forgotten about this?

Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

Comments: Church and State

Bill of Rights? What's that? A mere inconvenience to establishing Christianity as the state religion.

I almost did not believe that such a resolution was possible, until I read it myself. :(

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
