Their minds are closed. They’ll never learn.

They are very willfully ignorant.

But the Church is the state!

Republicans want it to be just like the Taliban or the ayatollahs.

Separation of Church and State is not in the Constitution. First part of first Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof….

Means the State cannot establish a State Religion AND cannot prohibit free exercise of a religion.

I’m other words: Hands off!

Will there finally be a national “Revolt in 2100”? (See the Future History story collection by Robert A. Heinlein.) Is DJT like the televangelist named Nehemiah Scudder who rides a populist, racist wave of support to the Presidency?

Look pal, the 1st Amendment does guarantee you the right to speak your opinion — swear up and down that day is night, and wrong is right at the top of your lungs – so long as it does not infringe on others’ rights.

Official Constitutional separation of church and state is one of the cornerstones the ideals of our country are built upon.

From Maine to San Diego, Key West to Seattle — including Alaska, Hawaii, Guam & Puerto Rico – this is what we call it.

Fancy turns of phrase and armchair lawyer sophistry denying this true fact ain’t nothing but farts in the wind.

Hey, parents. Did your children ever disrespect you? OT god says you have to kill them (Exodus 21:17). You OK with that? Biblical principles.

Question. What do the following have in common? Destruction of religion. Confiscation of guns. Control over energy. Controlled mass media. Labeling of political opponents as enemies of the state. Attacks on free speech Warrantless spying. Doomsday fear mongering. Jailing political protesters. Fraudulent elections. They are all early warning signs of fascism. And every one of these is currently going on with the democrats.

^^^^^The projection is strong in this one.

Biden has done his part to separate the church from the state. Hosts an Easter egg hunt but bans the use of any religious symbols in the event. As if Easter is all about some mythical bunny.

But worry not. He’s going with some trans recognition declaration in place of Easter.

So….if enough of us True Believers put the spaghetti strainers on our head (as the Noodly one requires), dress and speak like Pirates (as those touched by His Noodly appendage understand), move to Tennessee, and VOTE then WE can be the State? Praise the Beer Volcano! Praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

R’AMEN!

Very thin book.

Nearly 100 years after the Scopes trial, Tennessee still needs a refresher to get things right.

After the Republicans abolish the separation of church and state, I want to teach a class on the subject of gods conceiving children with mortals. The class is going to be called either Holy Hanky-Panky or Zeus on the Loose.

Google: Gods that conceived a child with humans

Google: What happens when a demigod has a child with a human

More killings, more sacrifices, more wars have been fought in the name of religion over the millenia than any other cause, prompt or climate change and alas, that’s unlikely to change. Whatever the god one worships.

Church and state should be kept separated.

American Christian Taliban

It’s okay as long as it’s my church.

Christmas can be as religious or as secular as a person wishes. Religious? You are free to put up nativity scenes and go to church services. Non-religious? Enjoy the non religious music, decorations, and festivities.

Easter, a Christianization of ancient spring festivals, likewise can be either religious or secular. Religious? Attend services and sing alleluia. Non-religious? Enjoy the candy, food, and egg hunts.

This should be in reference to Trump’s Bible that includes the constitution

Non-Christians of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your rights.

And Jesus answered and said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

the biggler orange clown (POS) dicktater can’t read!!!

I know a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot of people who need this. Not JUST in Tennessee.

As opposed to all states that teach religion (evolutionism) in the classrooms without hindrance.

Fanatical, mindless, religious beliefs vs reason.

Hmmm, which one will prevail?

Are you kidding? That book is probably banned there!

Hah!

For the record, MANY Christians want to maintain the separation of church and state. Because no one expression of anybody’s faith should ever control how the government operates. Of course, those who want state-run church (and church-run state) only want their particular form to be in control. That is never ever okay.
