I’m pretty sure that God already knows what his book is and doesn’t need the TN legislatures help with that. The problem is that designating it the official “book” is actually kind of an insult. How about designating it the primary text that forms the foundation of western society, the Bern, SJWers, and the modern American church notwithstanding.
Really! Name the thing that gov does not claim authority over. Name it. Clearly gov thinks that it is God. “state book.” Ridiculous. Clearly the TN legislature takes me for a godless moron. They might could try the mirror.

Lighten up, Fred.

The Govenor violated a basic teaching of Scripture when he promised Tennessee Firearms Association at a meeting when he first campaigned for His office. There he pledged to support Constitutional Carry do that Tennesseans could exercise their STATE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to carry a gun for self defense. Since then, he has worked to stop that legislation. So he flagrantly lied to TFA and is refusing to support that to which he took an oath to support since Constitutional Carry is precisely pursuant to Article I, Section 26 of the State Constitution’s Drclaration of Rights. It is UNLAWFUL to make a right into a PAID, PERMITTTED PRIVILEGE!!’

Ron, Haslam merely promised to sign a Constitutional Carry bill “if it reached his desk.” Since then he and the Lt. Gov., with a cadre of revolving spherical assholes have worked tirelessly to prevent anything embarrassing or controversial from hitting the Gov’s desk.
(“Revolving assholes” refers to there being a different one every year that kills Constitutional Carry in its’ cradle. “Spherical assholes” refers to these selfsame people that are assholes no matter which way you look at them.)
Also,it seems the sponsor of the Bible bill (author?) is a minister. I seem to recall that in Tennessee, both ministers and atheists are both barred from holding legislative positions.

I agree with the governor on this one. This was a thinly veiled official endorsement of a religion. Unconstitutional.

@rickn8or, oh, ok, that “if it reached his desk” qualifier gives him his out. But he seems so concerned about the unconstitutionality of an innocuous bill, but NOT when it has to do with the right to carry the means to protect our lives.
@MJM, yes, though I’m a Christian and a long time Bible student, that bill, as a matter of law, does violate Article I, Section 3 of the Tennessee Constitution’s Declaration of Rights.
I refer to our State Constitution Declaration of Rights, because in the matter of expanded or additional rights, States’ declared rights supersede those of the United States according to the 9th and 10th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

Whose bible? Mine, yours or that other guys?
I don’t think some people like the bible I grew up with in TN, which is fine by me. But maybe they were going to use my version, in which case some other people in TN would be upset. Or maybe they use the one where the gold tablets drop from the…cannot remember. I bet some would love that version. But not me. I might get annoyed at that one.
Haslam is a broken Republican, for sure. But even broke things occasionally seem to do a smart thing.

Bad grammar. I did not grow up in TN. I just drink their water, which would normally explain the construction of my second sentence above.
But I really have no excuse, having drunk nothing today but normal water. That said, I am going to remedy that failure right now.
God Bless Tennessee. All versions of God. Except, you know…that version, if ya know what I mean.

Better they waste time on this crap than spend more money, raise taxes, enact new burdens on business, or other bad things. The governor was trying to push through an increase in gasoline taxes just a month ago.

I say we need an emergency session of congress to determine the state condom, you know, to demonstrate the true importance, relevance and authority of the
stupid fucking retardsstate legislature.April 16th, 2016 at 9:37 pm
You can have the Christians or you can have the Communists. Your choice.

Yeah, I take that back. If the legislature is making a law designating a State Book, then they’re not spending that time infringing on our rights. Not sure which is more lame though, the legislature spending time designating a State Book, or the governor vetoing the Bible.

I’m with Fred and MD. Keep your pandering hands off our religion, you jacklegs.
