NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Having already made a .50-caliber sniper gun the official state rifle, Tennessee lawmakers on Monday gave final approval to making the Holy Bible the state's official book.
The state Senate voted 19-8 in favor of the bill despite arguments by the state attorney general that the measure conflicts with a provision in the Tennessee Constitution stating that "no preference shall ever be given, by law, to any religious establishment or mode of worship."
In solidly Republican Tennessee, heavy doses of God and guns are considered reliable election-year politics.
The Bible bill came to a vote just days before the candidate filing deadline, giving lawmakers pause about being portrayed by political rivals as being as opposed to the Bible if they voted against the bill.
Religio-facist grandstanding for the sake of vote pandering?! The deuce, you say! If only God did exist, He'd smite these disingenuous mofos right as they stood in the State House.
Guns 'N Bibles would be a great name for a Christian thrash-metal band.
From Tennessee, of course.
Russian (Orthodox) Bibles have more books than Luther's and would therefore be better able to stop a .50.

I'm going out on a limb and assuming it's not Jerome's Vulgate.
KJV or GT*O!
