Legally it's a bad idea because it would violate the establishment clause and fail the test from Lemon applied to the states by the due process clause of the 14th amendment if challenged in court.
Policy wise, it will do nothing but divide his own party down the line. The panderers will have to support it because they need religious $. The O & G backed reps won't have to and won't get behind it come challenge time.
That and titles like 'official books' are dumb to begin with.

Carmody is from a large Catholic family so I am sure his money is on that version. As a Jew I'm not offended at all, just reminded of why I'm glad to be Jewish. The need to put the Bible as state champ is equivalent to Bama's Napoleon Syndrome NC football numbers. Both a bit amusing and yet sad.

Explain?? I think it should be the official book of the nation.
And the King declared the Anglican Church official of England our forefathers left founded the USA and now you're wanting to return, back to the 17th century.

It's an election year. A time for the Church of Convenient Christians to surface.

I love when people say something like this. Yea, bud, this is the only bill the entire state has proposed, it's really important.

A couple of reasons. First, it would lead us down the road to a theocracy, something which would be super bad for the nation.
Secondly, it could lead to the Koran being the official state book at some point in the future. That would add insult to injury.

Not all of it. For example, I don't believe there will be a literal beast rising out of a literal sea in Revelation.
I've never met a 100% bible literalist.

I didn't say that Obama should declare us a XXX nation. That is not apples to apples. Due to our nation starting from those freedom loving Christian hence a Christian beginning, I think it should be simply in honor of them that we do so.

How can it be bad for it to lead down a road from whence we came? It lead us to greatness. Godless leaders are leading us to 2nd or 3rd world status. Do you know your history or current events?
