Texas State Rep. Matt Schaefer: Every elected official in America is required "to worship God"

Not like this fool has ever read it.

That political party twists the Constitution like they twist the bible to fit their narrative.

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."

Texas huh? Yeah, that tracks.

Actually we're our own country and we get to do what we want.

Those slow-blinks as he grapples with what the host just said. That is priceless.

Every single interview with Republicans (and Democrats) should include the host correcting their stupid lies.

I added and Democrats, but we all know the ratio of who is going to be called out for blatant lies.

I totally forgot about that slow blink of realization.

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.

Ever since this video, I've been pronouncing the word bible the way this guy does, around the house.

He done it three times, Jay.

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

Go ahead. Try and argue with that. You can't.

It's a control apparatus and nothing more... They know it just as well as we do

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

I just assumed the God they were always talking about was money. You're telling me it's something else?

Do you have any daughters to sell? Please post pictures.

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.

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.

They have no idea what's in that book.

the spirit, not the letter

Idk, man. I could totally go for some of that liturgically mandated Jesus Style Socialism right about now.

"Yes, that one."

-Matt Schaefer

If we are supposed to worship Priapus, why do we beat his symbol until it shrinks, defeated?

1. Nothing
2. Nothing
