New in PJ Media:
It was a mystery in the Arizona state House: first a pair of Bibles disappeared from the members-only lounge of the Arizona House of Representatives. Then a third Bible vanished as well. While the holy books were eventually found, two hidden under chair cushions and the third stashed in a refrigerator, no one knew why they were disappearing. Finally, security cameras were installed and the culprit was caught red-handed, taking a Bible off the table and placing it somewhere outside of the view of the camera. The Bible purloiner turned out to be Arizona state Representative Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, and even though you probably haven’t heard of her before this, you already know all of her positions on every issue.
Fox News reported Tuesday that the Arizona House “was alerted about the mysterious disappearance of a pair of Holy Bibles on March 23, which are normally left on display in the House’s members-only lounge, according to a statehouse source.” The lounge is a “restricted area” where “members of the House can go if they need to take a call or meet with other representatives or senior staff members in between votes.” While people who aren’t Arizona state representatives can enter the lounge, they have to be accompanied by an escort while there.
While there are security cameras in many areas of the state House building, there weren’t any in the members-only lounge until the Bibles started disappearing. So security personnel installed some cameras there, and “on April 10, when House members were in session, a third incident occurred, this time with the pair of Bibles in the lounge once again going missing from their locations.”
On camera was Stephanie Stahl Hamilton (Fox’s report refers to her as Stahl-Hamilton, but neither her bio on her website nor her Twitter feed has the hyphen), who is, of course, a Democrat. Fox notes that “in a video posted to Twitter by a reporter with CBS 5 in Arizona, the reporter approached Stahl-Hamilton to ask her why she was hiding the Bibles. She declined to comment, and instead, walked away from the reporter.” All right. But it’s reasonable to surmise that someone who takes publicly available Bibles and hides them is someone who doesn’t like the Bible very much, and doesn’t want people consulting it. And a glance through Stahl Hamilton’s Twitter feed reveals all the expected far-Left positions.
Stephanie Stahl Hamilton loves the Tennessee Three, who led a raucous anti-gun protest in the Tennessee assembly, haranguing the representatives with a bullhorn about the need to disarm law-abiding citizens. She is very worried about climate change and is committed to green energy projects. She is against a border wall and for abortion. In fact, you know where she stands on everything: just consult the Democratic party platform or turn on MSNBC. The Democrats appear to have ever-increasing hatred and contempt for Christianity, and now here is a Democrat official hiding Bibles.
The wild card is this tidbit from Stahl Hamilton’s bio at her website: “After completing her Masters of Divinity at Princeton Theological Seminary, Stephanie and Derek made Tucson their home. She is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church, USA and is currently serving as Parish Associate at St. Mark’s.” It may seem strange that an ordained minister would apparently want to impede people’s access to the Bible, but Stephanie Stahl Hamilton is a minister with the Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA), which is essentially the far-Left at prayer.

Will she be disciplined by the leaders of the Arizona House of Representatives? Expelled?
Hoi Polloi says
Any question as to why the Presbyterian Church, USA continues to lose individual members as well as entire churches? Too many members, ministers, and administrators are some variation upon this theme.
Some thought to remind her that messing with a koran would mean death.
Kepha says
Uncle Kepha worships in a church that left the UPCUSA in order to remain faithful to Christ.
Hoi Polloi says
Yep. One we attended before moving away left PCUSA and is now thriving. After, that is, they paid ransom money for their own church property. They had a superb leader, who remains to this day. I remain proudly Presbyterian, in the line of centuries of my family, but not a fiber of me is PCUSA. PCUSA even sent someone out to lie that they weren’t actually losing members.
Clifford Fodor says
Messing with a Bible is called stealing. That also incurs the death penalty when she comes before the true God.
DavidW says
Given the support the Democrat party shows for things like abortion, use of intimidation/violence to shut down opposing viewpoints, their support of things some would call sexual perversion, filth on the streets, anarchy, hatred, their thirst to take by force money from those who earned it, and limits on individual freedoms AS WELL AS their attacks on Christianity and Judaism, maybe it should be more properly called the Demon party (they could still use Dem as an abbreviation).
James Lincoln says
At least Representative Hamilton did not replace the Bibles with Korans…
somehistory says
Just reading over the facts about her “fruits,” lets Christians know, she isn’t one. This woman…essentially a vandal…is a “rotten tree,” and is no “minister” for those seeking to please God and follow Christ.
This creature is a snake, a “wolf in sheep’s clothing,” a “false shepherd,” and a part of the anti-Christ.
If this creature believes to any degree that she is serving God, following Christ, or serving as a “minster” of the “good news,” she is totally delusional. But I have the feeling that she is aware of how evil she is behaving….all for baby killing, and all for violence of other kinds (baby killers are the most violent of all, so no wonder they advocate for other violent actions and even engage), and pretending to want people to follow Christ while making sneaky attempts to keep them from reading His Words.

In my opinion, Stephanie Stahl Hamilton is a moron.
