BATON ROUGE, La. -- Lawmakers are moving ahead with a proposal to name the Bible as Louisiana's official state book, despite concerns the bill would land the Legislature in court.
But Carmody insisted the bill wasn't designed to be a state-endorsement of Christianity or a specific religion.
"It's not to the exclusion of anyone else's sacred literature," he told the House committee. Again, later he said, "This is not about establishing an official religion of the state of Louisiana."
Good luck with that, Chuckles.
I'm just glad that there are not more pressing issues to address in Louisiana.
