A Missouri lawmaker is setting himself up to be the next exemplar of religious fanatics in the Republican party: State representative says there shouldn’t be a “false god” on the capitol building:
A local lawmaker is asking state officials to prevent putting up a statue of a [R]oman goddess back on the [C]apitol building.
State Representative Mike Moon, from Ash Grove, wrote to Governor Mike Parson claiming the statue of Ceres Is a “false god” and should not be displayed on the capitol dome. [capitalization corrected]
What does he think of having a town not far from his named after a Roman goddess?
