The book that is not the bible

The Carpetbagger Report goes after fundie pandering Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. A man who may have ended his own career by signing legislation allowing public school teachers to use special "supplemental materials" in class. It is a story that blows my mind. It also paints America as the home to religious fundamentalists. The world is laughing at us again. I'm sick of fundies and politicians pushing religion over science. So is the Carpetbagger Report.

The Special Book. The Special Book, which is not the Bible, is full of interesting old stories about the way people used to live a long time ago and this great friend they had in the sky who would help them. Although it’s most definitely not the Bible, you can learn a lot by reading the Special Book because it teaches a lot about science. The Special Book teaches us so much about every topic. But don’t think it’s the Bible! Because it most certainly is not. No, it’s not the Bible. No siree!

I really cannot see how this is good for Louisiana. They will lose in court. It will cost millions. Jindal will be the laughing stock of the political set for years to come.
