I recall some show on PBS with Bill Moyers back 20 or 30 years ago in which he was amazed that the SBC was imposing the sort of dogmatic nonsense that the Catholics have imposed in the past on what to believe and what not to believe, totally in conflict with the traditional Baptist approach to the Bible.
There are other acceptable names..... "Billy Bob", "Jimbo" and "Bubba" are just 3 examples of acceptable Texan hick names to have as a small town cop in the Boner Star state.
David Barton. He's written books about this business. I don't know the Bible as well as he does. In any case, what the religious test clause says is you can't hire anyone in a gubmint job if they can't pass the religious test and I think that means you have to be a Baptist to qualify because at least some Methodists can read, or so I've heard. It's like a literacy test for gubmint employees.
silly texacans, you don't live in a christian theocracy yet. not fer any lack of tryin though. and they will claim religious discrimination when they lose. how depressing.
Religious urinalysis.
President David Palmer? Yes. President Frank Underwood? Uhhh, no.
President James Marshall?
"That government which governs least, governs best" indeed. :-)
Sharia Law, washed in the Blood of the Lamb.
A "religious pop quiz for office" is still OK though, right?
Favorite President? Why Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar, of course.
