Since when do we honor religious leaders in our seat of government in this country?
Since when do we honor religious leaders in our seat of government in this country? We don't do official religion in this country; there are some lines you should not cross. Considering my understanding of our Founding Fathers, this is egregious.
Ugh, busted WaPo links - Billy Graham is lying in state in the Capitol! Wtaf, Ryan and McConnell???
P.S. If he's technically Lying in Honor, which I can't find clarification on, it doesn't matter. It's the same thing and there's a religious leader in the Rotunda. Bad Congress, No Biscuit!

ReplyDeleteHe’s also a bigot who has said hateful statements about a lot of people who aren’t conservative Christians. We should not honor those types of people.
ReplyDeleteAlso there were some racist things somewhere in the past, yes? But your point stands. Then again, I think the first person who laid (?) in state was Henry Clay, so. #awkward
