Utah Hostile to Religion
“The state has become hostile to religion.” So says Chris Buttars. He’s going to have to do more than say it to convince me. Has he actually ever been outside of Utah to see how the rest of the world works?
Utah’s hostility to religion has inspired his introduction of S.B. 111, a bill in the Utah state Senate in support of the free exercise of religion through T-shirts. The bill has been substituted by another bill, which means they have added, edited, and cleaned it up. But, it’s still there.
Didn’t we already have the constitutional guaranteed right to exercise our religion through T-shirts? Speakers at the Senate Government Operations and Political Subdivisions Committee meeting told Senators that the right is already guaranteed. The constitution isn’t enough for them, apparently.
If the right is already guaranteed, what is Buttars up to? Keep your eye on the bill as it is cut and pasted through the Utah state Legislature. Surely the intention behind this is more than just blogger fodder. If you figure out what he is up to, tell me.
