That's a hard hell "no" for me. Keep religion out of politics. The reason we have so many problems in our government currently is due to the crazies who wish to control the masses with religion, fear and intimation.
How did this AH become speaker? Overwhelming arrogance, endless hypocrisy, and willful ignorance are not qualifiers for leadership. The GOP is dead and its carcass is rotting in plain sight.
At what point will literal elected officials in charge of our government grasp a “republic” is more of an adjective/descriptor than a noun? 🤦🏻♀️ Ex— republic means we have elected representatives/ legislature & President. So does 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇨🇩- but they are different types of dictatorships. We are a Democracy.
I have spoken with rep Christians that tell me they agree w/Johnson. I remind them the God they serve gave us free will. That democracy is a type of free will and then I ask them. If our government made you worship a different religion would you have a problem? The answer is yes,
Even within the Christian religion, there are many churches that have different beliefs and practices.
What if your Catholic and the government wants you to be Amish?
What if your Baptist and the government wants you to be a Mormon?
We already have laws to protect our religious freedoms!
Also, there are no Republics in the Bible. The closest thing was the Roman Republic, which stopped being a Republic about a quarter-century before its first appearance in the story.
He is correct when he says that the separation of church and state is not in the Constitution. Congress cannot establish a national religion, cannot make you follow a specific religion, nor can they restrict what religion you choose to follow. Religion, however, can get involved in politics.
Since then they could have noticed that few other religions exist and also atheism. As an atheist I'd be running on the ceiling in the school director's office.
That's the kind of brainwashing the commies were practicing in some countries, just there was another god. Look at North Korea, the Dear Leader is the god. Who doesn't love him enough, goes to a concentration camp with all family.
Exactly where in the Bible does it advocate for a Republic? The Bible is full of Empires and Kingdoms, realms ruled by the elite, not by the people. Even Rome was a republic in name only at that time.
It’s consistent with big-C conservatives narrow reading of the Constitution. They claim 1A prevents Church of England style government control of the church but not members of gov from ruling and legislating based on their own beliefs. Problem is partisan politics and “team points” now rule.
So just a super narrow reading of the establishment clause. While also ignoring that the establishment clause combined with the free exercise clause implies laws cannot just be copy/pasted religious tenets.
Both clauses are important and buttress each other.
It's in the Constitution … it's also in the Bible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_unto_Caesar ). But he's not actually good at paying attention to Jesus, so there's no surprise he's ignoring this stuff, too.
Never heard of them. We had Roman Catholics, 4 flavors of Orthodox, Baptists, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Brethren, Old Order Mennonites various Evangelicals, Jehovah's Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, & Episcopalians, who the rest were convinced were going to hell. But no Dominionists.
No, churches are tax exempt under the blanket definitions of non-profit community and charitable organizations. Whether they *should* be can be debated, but there’s nothing in that definition that requires political silence.
You either agree with it or you have the wrong god. And you cant prove who you “follow” so they can just say you follow satan. My parents are in the same cult as this guy!

You all know this man is a part of the Convention of States right? You know and understand the hat they want to dramatically change or do away with the United States constitution and are pushing for biblical law or. something similar. This man is not just some bozo. He’s dangerous

Because you are 100% correct

Half of SC's legislative sessions are reading out of context Bible verses. They pray before every hearing and session.
Yielding to the will of the people is definitely against Republican interests. I'm only surprised that he said the quiet part out loud.
Oh, wait.
1. Which bible?
2. Which church?
