Congressmen are disproportionately at risk of damnation; they need more than one chaplain

By the time politicians put their hand on the Bible to take the oath of office, many have made their deals with devil. The current partisan church split in the House of Representatives then provides a decent opportunity to re-evaluate the office and the purpose of congressional chaplains.

Personal salvation cannot be the chaplain’s only goal. Public sanctification through moral direction of lawmakers ought to be the object and religious pluralism, the method instead. In short, it’s time to flood the zone.
