And then there is the Arkansas representative who got rid of his adopted daughters because they were 'possessed'..
Mind you, they did have behavioral issues, but it looks like he reacted inappropriate, and blames everyone but himself Casting out demons: why Justin Harris got rid of kids he applied pressure to adopt - Arkansas Times

Id be inclined to think that pious people are evil unless proven otherwise. Why else would they do something like this:
Oklahoma House passes bill restricting marriage to people of faith: A bill that would restrict the right to marry to people of faith and would mandate all marriage licenses be approved by a member of the clergy was approved by the Oklahoma state House on Tuesday. Nonreligious Questions

I've heard there was a last minute addition to allow judges and justices to do it too. But it's still a pretty stupid idea.

This IS loony. One thing it gets very wrong is the idea that Israel in the Bible ever succeeded in its war efforts unless God commanded it of them. Whenever they acted on their own or against God's specific word to them, they were defeated. I do think God has been watching over Israel in spite of their not consulting Him, in their defensive wars when attacked by the Arab nations both in 1948 and 1967, but I think they'd be reduced to a cinder themselves if they attempted to wipe out Germany and Iran. I don't think Netanyahu is that stupid though. He knows what he's up against.
Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Yeah, why not just detonate the one that is already just sitting off Savannah?

President Obama Just Announced an Election Change That Would Transform the Face of American Politics
President Obama gave support to mandatory voting today at a town hall event in Cleveland. The President claims the drastic move would reduce the importance of money in elections and stop alleged voter suppression. http://www.ijreview.com/...s-completely-change-political-mapReligious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

What I saw was the President voicing a "what-if" and mentioning as a contrast that other countries have required voting. And in Athens' first great experiment in democracy, nobody wanted to go cast their vote so the officials had to gather up all the citizens and force them to go the amphitheatre to cast their votes. It is very difficult to get people to do their civic duty.
And, yes, if everybody here were to vote then it would indeed make a difference.

If US citizens by birth had half the concept of duty and honor of the naturalized citizens it might not even be necessary; but they don't.

Why don't you start a thread so we can hear your argument against mandatory voting?
Not sure why it qualifies him for a loony. He threw an idea out there. He did not support the idea of mandatory voting he presented it as an idea that should be considered. You really should increase your news sources. Your Obama derangement syndrome is showing. Your source isn't exactly reputable.WordPress › Error and neither is their source the Washington Times. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Well, y'know, there are countries which have mandatory voting, and they haven't sunk into the sea. While I'm against the idea, I don't think it qualifies as "loony".
