"The bible stays," says Dense

Mini-Me is still doing the lawd's work...

<snip> Vice President Mike Pence has weighed in on a lawsuit over the constitutionality of displaying a Bible at a New Hampshire veterans hospital ― promising his supporters: “The Bible stays.” Pence’s declaration in support of the religious display at the hospital received a standing ovation at the American Legion’s National Convention in Indianapolis on Wednesday ― perhaps the biggest applause of the night, according to the Indy Star. <snip>

I have no problem with the WWII paraphernalia but making the bible the center of it, is just another way Christians force their imaginary creature in the sky down our throats.

They use every and any excuse to trample on our non-Christian traditions. If you want to live in a theocracy move to Isreal or Iran.

... the Christian Bible is for display only. Since he works for Crooked Donald, God forbid he will actually read and learn anything from the Bible.

dominated social groups, trends much older and whiter than the general population. Not surprised at all. I joined a local Legion so I could join their motorcycle group. Made it through two meetings and realized it was not for me.
