Daily God in Government update
Knox County commissioners risk the potential of violating their oath of office if they vote for the proposed God resolution, a longtime Knoxville lawyer says in an e-mail to dozens of community leaders, including commissioners.
Arnold Cohen, who also copied the statement to the News Sentinel, says, “Pandering to the extremes is never wise” and urges the resolution be withdrawn.
Meanwhile, the Knox County Commission office has been logging feedback from e-mails and phone calls. Through Wednesday afternoon it had gotten 44 responses against the symbolic resolution and 18 in favor.
Maybe commissioners will realize how silly this little pandering is now.

Yeah, but it doesn’t matter what the polls say as long as the important people say, “Yes”.

I don’t know Barry. I think it’s very encouraging that the folks in Knoxville willing to respond are better than 2-1 against.
It’s a sign of progress, anyway.

I have to admit that this:
…restores some of my faith in humanity.

I wonder what would be said if a couple of us tried to have a resolution passed that said Islam is the only true religion and Muhammad was his only prophet?
