I would love to have them light up like a scoreboard as each representative takes the floor, showing all of the commandments they have broken. If people want so badly to bring religion into politics then lets just show them exactly who they've been voting for. Maybe we can get the news networks in on this too, displaying it on the side of the screen similar to a sporting event.

Wouldn't that just trigger the "thou shalt not lie" commandment? We're not their god, we can punish them with immediate judgement.

See, you're looking at it logically.

What you need is a frontal lobe lobotomy so you can happily ignore whatever you please, just like they do.

What was I thinking? Oh that's the problem, I was thinking...

Theoretically but I’ve never seen a Christian in a position of power called on that

Obviously it's time we started!

I agree, I’m just stating that if it doesn’t come from their own, which it never will because they insulate each other from consequences, it won’t have much of an effect
