It is, and I dislike such contradictions. Not to assail the beliefs of folks who are my friends, but.... well, y'know. I also tend to agree with Carpetsmoker's take on the constitution as well.

The WV state CP platform has stronger wording on pornography, or at least did the last time I looked.

As far as overbearing Christian influence on the constitution goes, I think a lot of it is blown out of proportion. Many of the authors were not Christians at all, despite strong faith in God, they did not care for the church as an establishment or other aspects of Christianity. Read some of Jefferson's writings on the subject especially...

I also see a contradiction in this phrase:

We call on our local, state and federal governments to uphold our cherished First Amendment right to free speech by vigorously enforcing our laws against obscenity to maintain a degree of separation between that which is truly speech and that which only seeks to distort and destroy.
