PIOUS PRAGER RESPONDS

Prager writes a follow-up to his "2 minute hate" column. He's naturally on the defensive, so he tries to convince us that what he wanted wasn't a religious test:

I never even hinted that there should be a religious test.

He did more than hint; he wrote that unless one uses the Bible, one should not sit in Congress:

Insofar as a member of Congress taking an oath to serve America and uphold its values is concerned, America is interested in only one book, the Bible. If you are incapable of taking an oath on that book, don't serve in Congress.

It is true that Prager didn't want a law passed enshrining his intolerance. Leave that for other radical fundies:

The American Family Association, a nonprofit organization that focuses on the news media's influence on society, has entered the fray, calling on people to ask members of Congress to pass a law that would make the Bible the only book that could be used during swearing-in ceremonies.
