re: #198 Obdicut

I’d just prefer if those legislators read the bits in the Bible about being charitable, and kind to the weak and the oppressed.

Anyone who wants can pass out whatever literature they wish to legislative offices.
There are no restrictions on it. I think it’s silly to pass out Bibles the way they did, but it’s not illegal, as far as I know. I also think it’s silly to be so upset about it. If they’re Christian, they already have a Bible, it’s not like this is anything new to them. These are going into a drawer somewhere and nobody will look at them. And Kay seemed very specific that it was the Christian Bible that offended. Again, if they’re Christian they already have a copy of the Bible, it’s nothing new to them. Is Kay just generally offended that Christians are serving in the legislature?
