Atheist group sues to get God out of Ky. homeland security law
Which of course begs the question, what was the reference doing there in the first place?
Link to the full story
From the plaintiffs:
Quote:
|
"It is one of the most egregiously and breathtakingly unconstitutional actions by a state legislature that I've ever seen," said Edwin F. Kagin, national legal director of Parsippany, N.J.-based American Atheists Inc. The group claims the law violates both the state and U.S. constitutions.

From the defendants:
Quote:
|
"No government by itself can guarantee perfect security," Riner said. "There will always be this opposition to the acknowledgment of divine providence, but this is a foundational understanding of what America is."
|
My favorite part:
Quote:
|
"I'm not aware of any other state or commonwealth that is attempting to dump their clear responsibility for protecting their citizens onto God or any other mythological creature," [Ed] Buckner [President of American Atheists] said.

why is everybody so sue-happy
Battle is a pure form of expression. It is heart and discipline, reduced to movement and motion. In battle, the words are swept away, giving way to actions-- mercy, sacrifice, anger, fear. These are pure moments of expression.

Because we're a nation of laws. Laws are established, modified, etc, via the legal system.

it's stupid though. money isn't everything. if they won the lawsuit, would it give them money, or kick god out of kentucky homeland security law? or both? i think it should be one or the other..
