Iowa lawmakers would be constitutionally required to say “so help me God” when being sworn into office under a proposal by a Mount Auburn Republican.
But free speech advocates say the proposal from Rep. Dawn Pettengill, a former Democrat who switched parties in 2007, would violate the First Amendment of the federal constitution. Citizens cannot be forced to express views that are not their own, they said.

"A man honored by President Obama as a 'civil rights pioneer' has told a Christian ministry leader the God of the Bible is a 'sinful, homophobic bigot' who needs to repent and 'seek forgiveness for the pain and suffering which his sinful homophobia has needlessly inflicted upon gay people for the past 4,000 years.'"
"There is no media bias against Christianity. If it appears to some people that there is, it is probably because after decades of hyper-diplomacy and a generally accepted mutual understanding that religion was not to be criticized, we have finally begun breaking through that taboo and are beginning to see candid discussions of the varieties of religious folly in American life. Activities that would be condemned by all if they were not cloaked in the protective mantle of religion are beginning to be subjected to proper scrutiny."
