Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Ain't no hate like christofacist love...

I hope no one kills these people for their obvious crimes.

My wife yells "purge night" a lot while watching the news.

Christofacisism

Religion is a belief. School curriculum is made based on facts and experiments over time. They should not be combined.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

Religion is made up fairytales that adults still believe in.

Honesty a guy praying to Jebus is no different than a guy shooting hadoukens from his wrists.

Yet one is called spiritual while the other is called childish.....

It’s funny that they clearly aren’t considering that religions other than theirs also exist. That’s the whole point of the Separation of Church and State. Your arbitrary religious views have no place in government or governance or public spaces… because others have other beliefs, many of which likely stand in stark contrast to yours, and the permutations are endless. Leaving your religious biases out of public life allows us all to coexist.

But lets ignore that and see what happens. Looking forward to The Satanic Temple having a presence in all public schools. Maybe muslims can get the Five Pillars and Buddhists can get the Noble Truths… and we’re just getting started.

They're not ignoring it, they're fully aware, and it's the whole point. They want an official state religion to suppress all others. They've been perfectly willing and able to blatantly ignore facts, evidence, and existing law and jurisprudence to benefit one religion over all others.

Oh goody! We are one step closer to sharia law!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This part is both mind blowing and hilarious. Not too long ago they were screeching that "they are trying to make everything sharia law!"

Then they do this, with absolutely no sense of irony. The dumb runs so deep that its turning to magma.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

The same idiots cheering this on would gaslight me and try to tell me there is "no such thing as xtian Shariah Law" when I'd point out that the talibangelicals very much want xtian Shariah Law here and have been pushing for it for as long as I've been alive.

I know better. Just because (of course) they don't call it Shariah Law doesn't mean it isn't the exact same fucking thing.

The only reason they hate conservative Muslims so much is that game recognizes game, and let's face it, if you change up a bit of doctrine, Muslim extremists want almost the exact same things as xtian extremists, and the xtianists have FATWA ENVY like you would not believe. They are very pissed off that more of their flock are not murderous thugs, too.

I wasnt going to have kids and the world keeps enforcing my decisions. If I had to deal with religion aimed at my kid I'd actually lose it 💀

I hope the Satanic temple will be opening a charter school in Oklahoma soon.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

It would be probably better than most of the other offerings in Oklahoma. Funnily enough, OKCPS had(has?) an illegal provision in its dress code that bans “satanic” imagery.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, the idea isn't that church and state are matter/antimatter, but that the state shouldn't be used to direct people towards or away from any religion.

If the government establishes fair criteria for "school eligible for federal funding" then there's no reason those schools must be secular or of any particular religion.

Wait until some MAGAt groks that their tax dollars might go to a (((school))) or end up helping Muslims in some way.

TBF, this regime doesn't actually support any form of real education.

Idiocracy was right about the future, but it looks to be isolated to the US.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

you clearly didn’t see the results of the UK’s local elections today if you believe this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Don't worry. If Labour shifts even harder to the right the voters will come back.

Right?

He continued: “You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second-class in the United States… And when you have a program that’s open to all comers except religion… that seems like rank discrimination against religion.”

No, you stupid cunt. Religious institutions are special snowflakes that enjoy tax-exempt status and steal billions of dollars from this country by existing. Now you want to give them billions more on top of it. Fuck you Brett Kavanaugh you treasonous piece of shit.
