Sooner forget about the separation of his head from his shoulders but that ain't happening either
Raytheon, deliver us.
I'd like to just forget about the church altogether
well he does also want to become pope. maybe he wants to multi class but what we really wish is if he dual classed.
It's incredible that the U.S. is having this discussion again. What's the point—bringing creationism back to schools or stoning prostitutes?
The point is replacing a somewhat transparent legal system with an arbitrary mess which makes everyone that isn't exactly on the politically desired line feel uneasy all the time due to uncertainty of state actions.
Christianity has done more harm to modern society than drugs ever could
Religion in general. It's what will bring humanity to extinction
tips hat
Religion is a plague
Maybe if they bring back the church into politics he will learn who this Jesus guy is who everyone is talking about. Might be surprised that he was a "radical leftist"
White supply-side Jesus is different from biblical Jesus which is different from historical Jesus.
He means American evangelist Christianity. Which is just capitalism with god. They are more interested on social control of masses and collecting tithe than any actual idealism.
It's far bigger than tithe. The article explains that the white house god office is run by someone who will take $1000 payments to send angels to people. They brought on that fucking moron Ben Carson too, which makes me think this is more about persecution if gay and transgender people than anything else. Other than that they're just making sure all the grifters (religious and MAGA) on the same team.
"Under His eye. "
"Our Country." Is just his White America/Klansmen base. We need that separation more than ever.
A common theme of MAGA is inventing problems that they can solve.
The idea that Christianity in the US is under threat and needs additional protections, is some epic persecution complex.
I had an old boss tell me that Christians are the most persecuted people on earth. They truly believe it and get off on it. All while existing in a country where you almost have to be Christian or at least Jewish to be elected to national office. It's pure mass delusion propaganda.
A common theme of MAGA is inventing problems that they can solve
That they can pretend to solve.
when your only skills are being angry and stupid you have to get creative
Their skill is making other people angry, and that anger makes them stupid and easily manipulated.
The final form of conservative regimes always resorts to imposing religion and rigid moral codes in order to suffocate any form of dissent. Conservatives have been painting themselves as the "rebels" in their manufactured culture wars and the warriors of freeze peach, but in the end it always funnels back to this: Bible authoritarianism. They will use this argument for push for more censorship, information control, stripping away rights and oppressing every community they deem against their dogmas. The writing has been on the wall for a decade now.
I am hoping that America's new implementation of this "Christian state" proves to be grotesque enough to serve as a warning for the rest of the world that even had the fleeting thought of going down this route. And I while am not very hopeful for Americans, I wish they find the strength to resist and revolt against this movement.
Bible authoritarianism.
Based on one very specific "interpretation" of the Bible that nobody is allowed to argue against.
Meanwhile the vast majority of the leaders don't give a shit about christianity except when it comes to elections and a means to an end. Anyone who tries to say Donald Fucking Trump is a christian is in a cult.
Isn't separating church and state really important?
Only if you care about the constitution, freedom, and/or democracy. It's very clear MAGA does not care about any of that so here we are.
Well then Allah be praised!
/S
So I occasionally check the Fox News site just to see what the idiot commenters say because I find it sad yet entertaining...anyway for the article that was posted about htis issue several people were like "this is a good thing, because sepration of church and state isn't in teh constitution" like bruh have you read the constiutuion? It's literally stated in teh first amendment xD
Amendments aren't part of the constitution... except the 2nd!
All of this is spelled out in project 2025. If you want to know what's coming next, just look at their website.
Just wait until they start banning porn. It's already started in some states tbh.
Canada almost had the same thing happen, but thankfully Poilievre didn't win PM, and even lost his seat too as a bonus.
I've been warning people about the setup to martial law. That's the final step of project 2025 that officially and completely destroys democracy. There will be no going back and no voting in the future. I keep being called an alarmist, but I was called an alarmist in late 2015 when he announced his run. It's also perfectly spelled out and they've been doing every project 2025 has step by step.
He doesn't give AF about religion he's no fucking moral centre. This is lip service to his base
Since when have religion and morality had anything to do with one another?
American Christians will martyr themselves for their silly beliefs. But not before murdering a bunch of people.
