I forgot about this thread, there was a recent thing in Texas where a 14 year old girl was protesting the abortion bill going on there, with a sign that says "Jesus isn’t a DICK, so keep him OUT of MY VAGINA"

Of course the reaction was crazy, getting called a whore and worse for NOT insulting Jesus.. I guess that was to be expected.

The part that caught my eye though was the prayer before the session where this was put into law:

http://www.journals.house.state.tx.u...DAY01FINAL.PDF

"But today, I would ask that our thoughts would be your thoughts; today, I pray that our ways would be your ways. Let our house be your house today, and let our laws be a reflection of your laws."

"We know that there is a time to weep and a time to rejoice. Help us to sow tears of sorrow today so we can rejoice tomorrow."

"We need a representative who knows you and loves you enough to plead for justice on your behalf. We need leaders who have learned to follow you."

and the real kicker

"Help us to get our eyes off of ourselves and to be more concerned about our righteousness than our rights."
