Yesterday, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam vetoed a bill that would have made the Bible the state’s official book and American Family Radio’s Bryan Fischer kicked off his radio program today by declaring that, in doing so, Haslam “was doing the devil’s work.”

Citing Psalm 119, Fischer said that studying the Bible “imparts understanding to the simple,” which is why Satan is “so intent on keeping the word of God out of our public school system.”

Fischer said that Haslam and Idaho Gov. Butch Otter, who recently vetoed legislation that would have allowed the Bible to be used in public school instruction, were both doing the work of the devil.

Otter and Haslam, Fischer said, were cooperating “with the agenda of Satan, who hates the Bible, [who] hates the word of God.”
