[QUOTE="grandvizier1006, post: 66953735, member: 365677"] That doesn't do much here in MS, though. Everybody nominally swears allegiance to Christ already (but let me tell you, there are plenty of non-Christians here as well). I don't think most would care or notice, and seeing as the measure has no real legal benefit or significance it just seems like a sort of acknowledgement of the large Christian population in the state. I've actually had times in my life where I considered that a disadvantage. I sometimes wonder if people would discount my faith if I ever attempted to live it out by saying something like, "Oh, well you're just a Christian since that's what you were raised in". Admittedly, they're partially right. I was "raised" Christian for a large portion of my life, but I didn't actually BECOME one up until recently. My younger brother, for example: I have my concerns about his soul, but he's young right now (only 13) and so I don't bother with him about that sort of thing. To God, there's a big difference between two Christians if one is real and one is just doing the motions, but to the average person there's no difference at all. [/QUOTE]
