Tennessee House votes Bible as official state book

-
The Holy Bible is the official book of Tennessee in the view of the Tennessee House of Representatives.
A display screen shows the results of the Bible bill vote in the Tennessee House.
Despite questions of constitutionality, lawmakers beat back an attempt to make Andrew Jackson's Bible the official book and voted 55-38 in favor of Rep. Jerry Sexton's original bill. "History's going to tell us where we stand on this. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to have the side that I'm on," said Sexton, R-Bean Station, after the vote. "It may be kind to me in the future and it may not be kind, and that's OK. I made a decision for today and I feel good about it."

Although a GOP-led effort, House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, was one of 20 Republicans to vote against the measure. House Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh, D-Ripley, and four Republicans abstained. Only six Democrats voted in favor of the bill. Rep. John Ragan, R-Oak Ridge, suggested making Jackson's Bible the official state book. He thought the move would have shifted the bill into safer legal waters, noting Attorney General Herbert Slatery's opinion that making the Bible the official state book would violate the state and federal constitutions.

Reps. Matthew and Timothy Hill, brothers and Republicans, questioned why Ragan chose Jackson's Bible. Matthew Hill asked why not Elvis' Bible; Timothy Hill asked why not consider Davy Crockett's Bible.
Ragan said neither were president, but the debate didn't go very far. The House voted 48-41 to kill the Jackson amendment.

Illuminati symbol  Revelation 12:10 "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death" MY Journey Into Illuminati Cult I was very curious to get some information about the illuminati, because I needed money and fame, I decided to log into their website seeking to get the information but, they said they would not be able to divulge any information about it to me except I fill a form which would make a member, then I could get the information I want.

This message or preaching was from one of the Qur'an teachers. And this is exactly the mindset of almost all Muslims against every nations that the majority are not Muslims.  This is not new, except you are still blind towards the Islamic agenda all over the world. I do pity the Europeans and Americans who don't even understand the danger that is gradually coming upon them sooner or on the long run.  When I see the European government accepting Muslims as refugees I shake my head in pity. It is pathetic for them. It is like opening your doors of your house in the middle of a thick forest at night. What do you think would happen such scenario? Deadly snake might crawl in if care is not taking and that would amount to lost of lives in the family.  Islam is deadly, but the Europeans and Americans are still behaving as if they are blind. Until it hit them hard without remedy, that is when they would know that, you don't stretch out your hand towards a venomous
