"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"

It's right there in the first line of the Bill of Rights.

[-] BruisedMoose@piefed.social 55 points 5 days ago

Right, so they'll just do it without Congress.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 36 points 5 days ago

Have they even done anything in Congress? Seems like all of their policies have been dictated by the orange absolute monarch.

The jokes on everyone who still acts as though they're dealing with rational people in good faith, instead of mentally ill religious extremists, sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles.

Whether they were inherently susceptible, or indoctrinated through psychological warfare, is largely irrelevant. You can't deprogram tens of millions of people, especially while the propaganda apparatus remains.

In case you haven't noticed already, the American government is run by a bunch of fascist that don't care about the rules (they only pretend to when it's convenient).

Yet again, the side that screams FREEDOM only wants to take everyone else's away.

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

For them it’s “freedom to,” not “freedom from.” As in, free to exploit, free to abuse, free to dominate instead of freedom from exploiters, freedom from abusers, or freedom from domination.

the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion - John Adams

Fuck you and your religion.

You think it won't be women next? Then nonwhites? Then non-christians? Then the Final Solution?

We've seen this movie before.

Does anyone remember the New Testament verse where Jesus tells the gay people to all fuck off and that his followers should persecute them? All I remember is him clearly saying to 'love thy neighbors' a lot - pretty gay tbh.

I did read the bible many decades ago, can't remember any such verses - will admit it was a total snooze fest though, so I might've missed it or forgotten.

As an antitheist, I’m fine with religion, as long as it’s only ever inflicted upon those who have made an individual conscious, non-coercive choice to be subjected to its doctrine.

The moment it’s used to justify inflicting anything upon someone without their consent, it needs to be locked in an air-tight canister, with viewing windows, to serve as entertainment, and a warning to other vacuous ideologies.

I'll bet that Lindsey Graham ("Mee-maws little warmonger") is secretly conflicted right now.

[-] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

its not the job of the government to obey Christian values. its the job of the government to protect its people, and if those people are gay, the government is OBLIGATED to make their life better like any other citizen.

[-] RosaLuxemburgsGhost@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

In a class-based system like capitalism, the state (cops, courts, military, ICE, etc.) exists to maintain the rule of one class over another, in this case the capitalist class. American neo-liberalism has served the capitalists’ interests well for the last few decades, but it is no longer. They need to tighten their grip because they are losing ground economically (to China, specifically).

This is when you see every effort to divide (weaken) and repress the working masses. Minoritized people and leftists are the first to be repressed - they are easy targets because the capitalists and the media outlets spend billions propagandizing the working masses to turn against these groups. This is when you see right wing reaction - as we are seeing now, not just in the US, but in many of the capitalist countries that are allies with US imperialism. This is a cycle that keeps repeating in every capitalist crisis.

It is in the interests of the whole working class - internationally - to recognize this tactic used to divide the working masses (which will lead to even lower quality of life for all) and to instead stand up against this repression and to defend people on the receiving end of US Imperialist aggression, whether this be workers, minorities, and/or countries (Iran, Cuba, etc.).

Christians are assholes and morons

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

All religions are backwards and brain rot.

The "best" religious people are those that follow as little of the made up bullshit as possible.

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

yeah, caring about others is VERY anti-christ. Jesus would never ever care about others.

Fucking dipshit turd.

[-] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 40 points 5 days ago

Debts higher than the GDP, better worry about how many genders there are. Conservative be dumb as rocks

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

They don't care about the debt. Unless Democrats are in power. Then they pretend it matters.

Anything except enthusiastic Christianity is “anti-Christian” to these people. Fuck them all.

[-] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 5 points 3 days ago

I'm just waiting for the day they declare that us Episcopalians and our Methodist, Lutheran, and Presbyterian that support of LGBTQ+ folks are heretics and round us up.

No one expects the MAGA Inquisition!

[-] Hakuso@scribe.disroot.org 5 points 3 days ago

/me snorts at the Montey Python reference.

Sadly, I think we all expect the MAGA Inquisition, though.

This is what America voted for, because that scary brown lady was just too ARROGANT.

Wait until there's no more naked people on the teeveez, and only three-two beer at your local store. The average American commuter will blame Democrats.

It's fair, but lets not forget the tom foolery that happened with Biden after the first debate. Add to that the religious zeal tRump's base puts out for him.

Biden should have stepped aside after 1 term like he promised (he really seemed decrepit) and let Harris hit the ground with good running space to seperate herself from Biden while also being able to patch up after a performance like she put on in the second debate.

Meanwhile, the sheep and the goats part just gets ignored

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

I'm sure they'll do some backflips to say "the brothers only mean people I like", but then there's the "who is my neighbor?" part.

29 But wanting to vindicate himself, he said to Yeshua, “Then who is my neighbor?”

30 Yeshua replied, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He was attacked by robbers, who stripped him and beat him. Then they left, abandoning him as half dead. 31 And by chance, a kohen was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he passed by on the opposite side. 32 Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the opposite side. 33 But a Samaritan who was traveling came upon him; and when he noticed the man, he felt compassion. 34 He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on olive oil and wine. Then setting him on his own animal, he brought him to a lodge for travelers and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[b] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him. And whatever else you spend, upon my return I will repay you myself.’ 36 Which of these three seems to you a neighbor to the one attacked by robbers?”

37 And he said, “The one who showed mercy to him.”

Then Yeshua said to him, “Go, and you do the same.”

But they're not sincere, so the text doesn't matter.

I'm a Christian, and I hate this movement so much. I want to hate the people, trust me, but Jesus said to love, so I must. Seriously though, separation of church and state, now please.

[-] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 24 points 5 days ago

Part of loving someone is holding them accountable for their own actions and behavior. Growth is not possible without accountability

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.

  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
