Kentucky legislature quietly approves resolutions to date all documents ‘in the Year of Our Lord’

The Kentucky state Senate and House this week approved resolutions that require all dated documents include the words “in the Year of Our Lord.”

According to the Lexington Herald-Leader, both chambers “quietly” passed the resolutions on the final day of the year’s legislative session.

Republican state Sen. Albert Robinson, sponsor of the measure, said that he was “trying anywhere and everywhere I can to respect our creator.”

“It’s important for us to go back to the basics of our U.S. and state constitutions that used that phrase,” he said.

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R), who has officially declared 2017 the “Year of the Bible,” also dates all of his proclamations with “in the Year of Our Lord.”

1. There's intelligent life in the Universe but they're avoiding us like the plague.

We're the Interplanetary Cousin Fucking, Mouth Breathing, Superstition Believing, equivalent to the town from Deliverance and they don't want to have anything to do with us.

I'm starting to question evolution because we're no longer advancing as a species.

3. If we were to reference Lord Buddha ...

There is a 543 years difference between the Buddhist calendar and the Gregorian calendar.
This year 2017 is year 2560.

4. You are going to have to kill me before I do any such thing.

I refuse to live my life by someone else's choice of beliefs. I live by logic, common sense, and love. They can go fuck themselves.

5. It's not "respect for our creator", it's scent-marking...

"We insist on plastering false pieties on everything we can."

7. As annoying as it is, I don't see it being subject to challenge

Not when you consider that the Constitution itself is dated "the seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-seven."

9. This is what happens when people do not vote. Bevin won with about 16% of the electorate.

Last November people voted for coal. KY (and I an a lifelong citizen) is headed down the exact same path as Kansas.
