Attorney

A legislator-in-training who hopes to grow up to be a real politician some day. See job security.

Most legilators either have been, or eventually become attorneys, who practice the very law that legislators write, leading to a horrific conflict of interest between the two professions, by which government of the people is by the attorneys, for the attorneys.

Jehovahphobia

1. The irrational fear of the rational fear of Jehovah, or God almighty; coined in 2003 by Dave Shiflett of National Review.

1. "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom", (Ps. 111:10), so fearing His name is fine. However, how is one to gain further wisdom when one fears fear itself more than one fears Jehovah?

2. Jehovahphobia is the primary motivation of evangelizing secularists to eliminate any reference to religion, especially Christian religion, from public life.

evangelizing secularists

Proponents of the myth of the Separation of Church and State who, suffering from Jehovahphobia, do their level best to eliminate any reference to religion, especially Christian religion, from public life.

In the U.S., it's unconstitutional to pass any "law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Therefore, evangelizing secularists persuade the courts to set precedents that have the effect of regulating religion and the free exercise thereof.
