They're about to do it again! Yet another resolution trying to close the gap between separation of church and state. But this one takes the cake.
H. Res. 888: Affirming the rich spiritual and religious history of our nation's founding and subsequent history and expressing support for designation of the first week in May as "American Religious History Week" for the appreciation of and education on America's history of religious faith.
The terms "education" and "history" in the above statement are laughable, considering the author of this resolution, Congressman Randy Forbes (R-VA), is obviously completely uneducated in regards to our nation's history. Either that or he is intentionally trying to rewrite history to fit his own agenda. I suspect it's a combination of both. Perhaps not so coincidentally, that's exactly how the Bible was written.
