"JEFFERSON CITY — Although he acknowledged the move will be ridiculed, a Missouri lawmaker is asking Gov. Mike Parson to block the return of a nearly century-old statue to its perch on the dome of the Capitol.

Rep. Mike Moon, an Ash Grove Republican, cited Scripture in his request to Parson, arguing that the statue of the Roman goddess of agriculture, Ceres, is a “false god.”

“We serve a mighty God and we have need for no other god(s),” Moon wrote in a letter to the governor.

"“If we chose to erect a statue of Jesus on, or in, some state property, there would likely be an outcry from those who disagree with our choice. Those who would oppose the statue of Jesus are the same who would argue in support of placing a false god on our Capitol’s dome. Should we not stand firm in our beliefs as well by refusing to honor a pagan god?” Moon added."

Springfield is bad enough, but you get outside of it and things can get really weird really quickly. The state of Missouri should not be involved in deciding what gods are true or not. From where I stand none of them seem to be true. This idiot needs to be laughed out of Jeff City.
