Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison said at a Democratic event Monday that Republicans doing “Bible studies” in prisons is hurting Democrats’ chances at winning voters.
You know, back when I was in Minnesota State Legislature, I got the impression that maybe Democrats could possibly have an advantage with folks in this area who might vote for us,” Ellison said. “Not true. We will have to fight for their vote like we do with every other vote because I learned that a lot of Republicans will go to jails and do Bible studies and other things.”

So THAT is why Hillary lost!
Thats terrible, since the DEMS took over the schools - and have all the Snowflakes growing up
So what you're really saying is that Christians are too smart to fall for the Democrat lies.
Lol wat?
There is all ready bible study and church services in prison. Most incarcerated inmates in jail are all ready self identified as Christian, what are these people banging on about?
Following up, are these folks involved with any tax exempt church groups, because if so, that tax exempt status should be immediately revoked.... this is a FLAGRANT violation of tax exempt status.
Violation? How?
7:57 better hurry up and sign up for your mark of the beast. What a fool..keep denying the truth of his word, its your choice.

That's a great question... this is from the IRS website:
Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.
Certain activities or expenditures may not be prohibited depending on the facts and circumstances. For example, certain voter education activities (including presenting public forums and publishing voter education guides) conducted in a non-partisan manner do not constitute prohibited political campaign activity. In addition, other activities intended to encourage people to participate in the electoral process, such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, would not be prohibited political campaign activity if conducted in a non-partisan manner.
On the other hand, voter education or registration activities with evidence of bias that (a) would favor one candidate over another; (b) oppose a candidate in some manner; or (c) have the effect of favoring a candidate or group of candidates, will constitute prohibited participation or intervention.

As there is no evidence for your deity at all, consider the absurdity of the suggestion.
To further illustrate, as there is no evidence, there is no reason to accept the assertion of said deity, ipso facto no beast, ipso facto no mark.
I don't believe in your God, so I don't believe in a "beast", nor any mark.
Also, one does not choose what one believes. You either do, or don't. You can't choose that, you do not choose that. It's like if you ate something, and it tasted terrible to you. You could not choose to think it tasted good. The way you use the word "choose" is incorrect.
You call me the fool, yet assert the truth of something that can not, and never has been demonstrated. I caution your tact, sir.
You need to do two things before you can justify that assertion. First, demonstrate said deity; second, that this "word" is in fact "his". Neither has been done. So I simply urge caution.
If your intention was to convince or persuade me of your position, this is not a terrible convincing way of accomplishing that. You may want to revisit your approach.

Maryland Prisons have Muslim Imams who are employees of the state for the Sunni Population which is very large in prisons.
Maryland also employees Chaplains to hold services for Christion inmates.
