Oh, that wall broke down the day, MAGA Mike Johnson became speaker... The ones calling the shots, are his christo-fascist bosses in the Heritage Foundation.

His wet dream is a theocracy with a dictator at the top. And he would love to be that dictator!!!

I want to know WHICH Christianity is our national religion now! Is it the one with the Trinity ? The one with hundreds of saints? The one with predestination ? The one with the angel moroni?
There’s a reason the founders prohibited the establishment of a state religion.

As the descendant of Quakers who came here in the late 1600s for the specific reason that they were being forced to follow a religion or be fined or imprisoned for their beliefs: Fuck you little Marco and the 🍊💩 you worship. Their descendants ultimately fought in the AmRev to defend their rights!

Have a look up of Joseph Priestley. Famed English scientist but also a dissenting Christian, and renowned supporter of the American Revolution. My house at school was named for him, yet ironically he got himself barred from the Independent Chapel where the school held Christmas Services etc.

This is also the end game for all the Administration's posing about protecting Jews from anti-semitism. They are coming for all but Christian nationalists, eventually.

Was Rubio an actual Christian before he became a Christian nationalist?

aqua369.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think there is anti-Christian bias now and it stems from disgust with the Christian Nationalist trying to force everyone to adhere to their belief system. Some people think all Christians are to blame for not correcting them as if they are uniquely tasked with calling out their hypocrisy.

This behavior is exactly why we need the two separated. Weaponizing religion is as old as time. Everyone should be immediately suspicious of anyone who thinks that we need to live a certain way based on rules set by an imaginary friend.

The Establishment Clause is part of the First Amendment which prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or favoring one religion over another. It is often interpreted as requiring a separation of church and state to ensure religious freedom for all individuals

So what about an anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, anti-Hindu, other religions? What about agnostics and atheists, do these Christians get to lecture them and then report them if not receptive to their message? Someone should be suing ...

Using God, religion has been the self-righteous decision of every civilization. Continuing to be used to kill, arrest, torture, enslave, impoverish, hate, fear. It’s been politicized since time immemorial!!! That is why in democracies it’s separate from state. No religious law should supersede.

I became an evangelical in 1974. Left it after voting for Obama and seeing the hypocrisy. For years we were told to prepare ourselves to face persecution. Yet, the only persecution I ever saw was that directed at non-evangelicals. 1/2

carolyncastor.bsky.social•1 day ago

Note: Not liking Christians or Christianity is not persecution. Not being allowed to discriminate against others is not persecution. I have never seen the government define what Christianity is and make people submit or else be fined or thrown in prison. 2/2

As a Baptist minister put it to me last week, "mixing church and state is like mixing ice cream and manure. The manure may be fine but the ice cream isn't." We had a laugh about which is the ice cream and which is the manure, but the point is valid either way.

cjlillis.bsky.social•1 day ago

Uh... Rubio, Trump, Vance et al are engaged in some of the most anti-Christian behavior in this country's history: abusing immigrants, stealing food from children, removing healthcare from the sick. They're in no position to decide what is and isn't Christian.

Our country was founded on the idea that we all have freedom of belief; gov't only constrains our freedom of action. (Per Jefferson: you can believe in a religion that demands human sacrifice so long as you don't engage in human sacrifice). Insisting that there is one true faith is anti-American.

seancasten.bsky.social•1 day ago

But it's also anti-Christian. Jesus said "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves." A state hitched to a religion that falls out of favor takes both down with it.

seancasten.bsky.social•1 day ago

So whatever you believe in, including non-believers. If you're committed America, it's time to make some righteous noise. On the street, in the pews and from the pulpits. These bastards aren't gods, they aren't prophets and they damned sure aren't saints. /fin

rpmadmsu.bsky.social•1 day ago

I’m on the Pope’s side as a Catholic. However there’s been a growing schism between the Vatican and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops for a while now and is pushing a lot of American Catholics away from the church, as the leadership of the USCCB doesn’t often reflect the views of the “flock”.

King George’s attempts to make Anglicanism the official religion of the colonies was one of the reasons the colonies rebelled, and freedom from any such imposition was central to their concept of liberty.
