On January 24, 2012, The Pennsylvania House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R. 535, a non-binding resolution declaring 2012 "The Year of the Bible." The resolution states that we have a "national need to study and apply the holy scriptures," a position which clearly favors Christianity over other religions and violates the separation of church and state as protected by the Constitution of the United States.
Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion.
The General Assembly has not made a law but it has approved a resolution that does respect a religion. "Year of the Bible" makes clear that the holy scriptures referred to are christian scriptures.
We give religion businesses far to many perks and privileges. H.R. 535 is a wink and a nod to religion businesses that want to claim the United States for a christian nation.
I fought for the flag. I did not fight for the cross. The closer that cross gets to my flag, the harder I will fight against it.
