That's not what you said in another thread. You immigrated, and your parents are immigrants that are mooching off the system.

MY state is Florida, I moved to Mississippi 2 years ago for work.

When you can't defend your own remarks, just attack the other poster.

I thought being US Citizen = being American?

So? Everybody are first, second, third or fourth generation immigrant. Are you Native American?

Well you live in Mississippi now, and Florida is not that much wealthier or better off either

I am over half Cherokee.

There is a difference between being a citizen, and being American. You do not in any way act like an American. You can here and want to change the basic founding principals of this country. You should have stayed in what ever country you were from.

Look into Palm Beach. That's my home town.

This isn't proof. It is simply your opinion.

Unless/until you can come up with something from a school district that states that traditional families are "bad," I'm calling BS.

Oh, and lest you think I have no idea about what is going on in schools today, I have kids in high school. There is nothing anywhere near approaching the nonsense espoused above being taught in his school.

I'mma agree with most of the people in this thread with the "absolutely not".

There's no reason to adopt an "official religion" that isn't just political grandstanding at this point.

It would never, ever pass if anyone even tried.

I've been there numerous times. Still much cheaper than where I live unless you live with ocean or lake view.
Boca Raton is nice.

Wow you live in an expensive area, yet your father need medical treatment that he can't afford and is on food stamps.

Maybe you should look into moving to a less expensive area, and help support your parents.

It is interesting that you complain about Mississippi, the state that ranks highest for residents that describe themselves as "very religious."

I think we can be confident that not many residents of Mississippi are Muslims. They are likely to be Christians. Apparently being "very religious" (and Christian) does not correlate to high performance by the state.

Mississippi Is Most Religious U.S. State

On the original topic of this thread though - I think most Americans do not want an officially recognized religion. They remember from elementary school history classes that an important reason for this country's existence was to escape the government run religion of their home country. And although many will disagree with different parts of the US constitution there is overwhelming support for the 1st amendment.
