neadodsI could work up a good rant someday about how the First Amendment died when "under God" was added to the Pledge and "In God We Trust" replaced "E Pluribus Unum" on the money. If it didn't croak right there, it at least got a serious case of the flu; no, "God" does NOT mean generic deity!
A law signed in Mississippi today chisels away another piece. It's about the municipal budget for government building and supplies. Look down on page 35, lines 1149-1153. (Note: it's a .pdf.)
That, ladies and gentlemen, is called "establishment of religion" and it's not legal. It goes beyond generics to specify writings from one specific religious book and no others.
