Praise the Lord and Hide

Hat tip to Crawford's Take for this juicy tidbit from the weird state of Missouri. They'll be coming for you next if we don't take action.

SECOND REGULAR SESSION
House Concurrent Resolution No. 139
3RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY4572L.02I

Whereas,
our forefathers of this great nation of the United States recognized a Christian God
and used the principles afforded to us by Him as the founding principles of our
nation; and

Whereas,
as citizens of this great nation, we the majority also wish to exercise our constitutional right to acknowledge our Creator and give thanks for the many gifts provided by Him; and

Whereas,
as elected officials we should protect the majority's right (bold face mine) to express their religious beliefs while showing respect for those who object; and

Whereas,
we wish to continue the wisdom imparted in the Constitution of the United States of America by the founding fathers; and

Whereas,
we as elected officials recognize that a Greater Power exists above and beyond the institutions of mankind:

Now, therefore,
be it resolved by the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-third General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, that we stand with the majority of our constituents and exercise the common sense that voluntary prayer in public schools and religious displays onpublic property are not a coalition of church and state, but rather the justified recognition of the positive role that Christianity has played in this great nation of ours, the United States of
America.

And just how will people who object be respectfully treated? Let's see...


Dear Sir,

Recently, your child, (Name), refused to recite the oath of allegiance to God and country, and did not participate in the voluntary prayer session afterword. You may have noticed that (Name) has not returned to your home. (Name) was consequently taken to the "Praise The Lord" Detention Center at 45th and Kilbourn.

You may come to the detention center between the hours of 8:00 am and 9:00 am to retrieve the body.

Respectfully yours, Obergrupenfuhrer (Name)

PS: We have set up a meeting for you and your wife for next Tuesday at 11:15 pm. Officers will arrive to escort you to the meeting. Please bring a toothbrush.
