Literally the opposite of the Constitution.
Obviously knows neither the spirit nor the letter of established law…Texas huh? Yeah, that tracks.
We have a law in Texas that an Atheist can’t hold office. Really stupid, but it would have to be challenged to get rid of it.
edit: went and looked it up
Article 1, Section 4 of the Texas Constitution states, “No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall anyone be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being.”
I’ll gladly acknowledge the existence of a supreme being; my tuxedo cat is very supreme.
…we don’t have to say which being is supreme, right?
By that verbage, claiming to be pastafarian meets those requirments.
Would pay good money to see a official painting of someone with a collander on their head.

Just to be clear that’s unconstitutional. That law has no force or effect.
Torcaso v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488 (1961)
Yes, it’s unconstitutional…buuut, the shitty way our political system works, somebody would have to sue to get it removed in Texas. Until someone does, they’re going to enforce it.
edit: in Texas
Tell me we’re gonna get another version of this beautiful moment.
Those slow-blinks as he grapples with what the host just said. That is priceless.
I was hoping this was the bi bull video. :p I love it.
“Ohhh noooo, I swore on an a bi bull, I done it three times Jay.”
Dude has like 4 brain cells and they’re all busting their ass to hold his face in a way that doesn’t make him look stupid and they’re doing a terrible job of it.
“The first biblical command for all rulers and all persons in authority is to worship God,” Schaefer said. “It’s all over the Bible."
Oh, the Bible says one must worship the god of the Bible? Shocking!
I act the way I act because the Good Book tells me so
If I wanna known how to be good, it’s to the Good Book that I go
'Cos the Good Book is a book and it is good and it’s a book
There’s no reason why we should take a look
At any other book
But the Good Book
'Cause it’s good
And it’s a book
And it’s a book
And it’s quite good!
Good is good and evil’s bad
And kids get killed when God gets mad
And you’d better take a good look
At the Good Book
You know, if they actually followed the moral teachings laid out in the Bible - the spirit, not the letter - I’d almost be okay with this. The problem is that the vast majority of these self-proclaimed Christians don’t. Not even remotely close.
They are very much Christians and their book is fucked, even if you try to find a moral in it. What’s the moral of a guy being fucked with by his god and being told to murder his own child? Or the moral of a man offering his daughters to a bunch of rapists, or the moral of a bunch of kids getting killed by a bear cause they made fun of a guy being bald? It’s a weird ass book through and through

Have you read the Bible? It’s pretty horrific all the way through. Any good is pretty well overshadowed. The spirit and the letter are awful.
Turn the other cheek, but also buy your slaves from the heathen that surround you and feel free to beat them with a rod as long as they don’t die immediately.
