A Portent of Things to Come

A Missouri state legislator has submitted a resolution to declare Christianity the state's official "majority" religion.

This is a portent of things to come in other states.

Many of the evangelical Christians who are active in politics expect the new "strict constructionist" judges on the Supreme Court to reverse decisions that apply the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to the states. In their minds, each state has the right to establish a majority religion and treat persons of minority faith as though they were second class citizens.

Sooner or later, this issue will certainly be re-decided by the U.S. Supreme court.

I just saw on the Today show a segment about this resolution. They interviewed an FBC pastor (for it) and a professor at a Seminary (against it). I wondered after the segment why they asked the Seminary professor to be on there since they didn't let him talk.
