Bubba, I've been waiting for you to comment on this. I wasn't sure if Lincoln Davis was serious or not. But now I am so proud of my Tennessee Representative! The idea of not letting folks run for office who have committed adultery or been divorced would get rid of a lot of excess testosterone in Congress (ok and maybe some naughty women too--but not Hillary!).

Jesus had quite a bit to say about adultery. Read Luke or Matthew and you'll see he would agree with much of what Mr. Davis says. Jesus himself never said anything one way or the other about same sex relations though. Paul had his opinions but Paul was no Jesus.
So regardless of what happens we should outlaw adultery. More than that though we should listen to those who insist that "our laws are derived from God" (to quote GW) and put the penalty for adultery at death by stoning. Sure, the big J did pardon that one women but he didn't go so far as to change the law (Matthew 5:18) itself. So death by stoning should stand.

I called Lincoln's washington office as spoke with a gentlemen named Tom. He said that Davis was simply trying to make a point that if we wanted to protect marriage, it didn't go far enough. However, when I asked him whether or not Davis would've voted for the amendment had it banned Divorce, he couldn't say.
