Reject Bigotry

At least this one doesn't have the force of law. The US House passed Resolution 847 yesterday with a vote of 371 - 9 (which I think means 55 abstained) that "recognizes the importance of Christmas to the Christian faith" and "rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide." Apparently there was a similar resolution in 2005. At least there is a companion Resolution 635 passed on October 2, 2007 that "rejects hatred, bigotry, and violence directed against Muslims, both in the United States and worldwide." Alas, the bill to reject bigotry and violence against gay people got lost in the shuffle.


So did the bill to reject bigotry and persecution against followers of Thor.

  1. And I think it will be an even longer time before we get protection for the followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster...
