Do not enforce your religious beliefs on everyone else pretty simple respect everyone and their beliefs.

When Maga starts blaming everyone else for their issues maybe it is time to look in the mirror and accept you are part of the issue and not the solution.

"Separation of Church and State is a phrase that refers to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The phrase dates back to the early days of U.S. history, and Thomas Jefferson referred to the First Amendment as creating a “wall of separation” between church and state as the third president of the U.S. The term is also often employed in court cases. For example, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black famously stated in Everson v. Board of Education that “[t]he First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state,” and “[t]hat wall must be kept high and impregnable.”

Yes. There is never to be a national church. Satanists have lied and now claim that Christian morality has no place in society as they force Satanism down everyone's throat by force.

Someone's morality will be the law of the land. If the evil of atheists/Satanists is the law, you end up with hell on earth.


What did i just read? morality while based in faith is not tied to any particular faith. We are not and have never been a Christian nation. Hence the 1st amendment. Dont force your ideals on anyone else in the name of god or country.
Not Satanism at all. It is called respect for your neighbor but as long as we are chatting
is it Christian to claim emanant domain and kill off the native Americans in the name of god (sounds Christian to me to kill off a native population), The Spanish Inquisition anyone, how about the crusades?

This country has people of every faith how noble of you to blame the devil when you try to force your beliefs on people of other faiths..
You get the 10 commandments on a wall when you get the 613 Jewish Commandments and the 10 Muslim Creeds up next to them.
Either you treat everyone fairly with respect or gtfo.

I am going to ask what do you think gives you or anyone else the rights to force religion down anyone's throat. It is not for their benefit.

This garbage again? Christians don't hold the market on morality. Take this BS out of here you hypocrite. Trump has NO MORALS AT ALL and you support him. You are worse than a satanist and you are also a liar. STFU and GTFO with

Every single majority position of the atheist is opposite that of the Christian view. That can't be a coincidence can it? And yes, calling good evil and evil good, is a moral take I suppose.


Christian morality has no place in politics. It is a biased and extorted POV that seeks to eliminate any other POV and has been used to justify horrific crimes against humanity and is as hypocritical as it gets. Tell the churches to pay taxes and get back to me.

Anyone who talks of Christian morality cannot support Trump on any level and expect to be taken seriously. He is the antichrist and has broken most of the ten commandments repeatedly showing no remorse at all.

lol if these Christians would actually read their holy book and follow the teachings of Jesus, we wouldn't be in this mess

Donald Trump is like, the antithesis of everything Jesus was about, yet they deify him

Luke 6:46-49

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”


They call Jesus their Lord but ignore his teachings, only using his name to justify their actions

They are the modern day Pharisees, those who are so convinced of their righteousness they will never question themselves, and would be the first to cast the stone and nail Jesus to the cross. I'm not religious myself, but sometimes I genuinely hope their god exists as said in their bible, because the look of shock on their face when they meet him and he judges them. Like this scene from Castlevania:



Your God's love is not unconditional. He does not love us. And He does not love you. Your life's work makes Him puke.


Lies? In your house of God? No wonder He has abandoned you.

Very interesting, seems only fair to allow the others a chance.


Who else is there?

She was VP to Biden. All the notable dem leaders endorsed her. Almost seems like a waste of time to "give somebody else a chance" at this point.

She won't have to even campaign for the DNC nomination. She looks like the clear winner. I'm talking like 90% votes if there was one.

Yeah, what I'm wondering lol. Bill Clinton was impeached because his infidelity and was viewed as a "bad Christian". But what do people think Trump is? A loyal saint?

When I saw the truth ofGods love in that shelter it entirely set me free.

I recognized I have no righteousness of my own but through the Cross (dying to my old Sin consciousness) I could be born again into SON consciousness!

There is no righteousness except that which is given to you freely through the crucifixion and ressurection of Christ

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life” (Romans 6: 3-4, NASB)

All flesh is inherently evil my dear friends

ESV For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Romans 5:10
New reality of Son ship!
All who receive and believe in Jesus, given the right to become children of God. Not born of flesh, but born of Spirit. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Glory that came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Donald Trump is the golden calf of the evangelicals, the one they worship now in place of their god

It is impossible to separate religion from politics at this point because they made their religion political. Though I guess that's always been the case with Europe and European descended countries, we just like to pretend it isn't sometimes.

Bro there are some Chirstians that mistake Christianity is a religion of rules for righteousness rather than the love of Christ alone. Jesus said I didn't came to judge the world but through me to save it.

And with the measure you judge you shall be judged.

In that shelter when I saw the manifest love of God (Christ on the Cross), I died with him on that Cross (Spiritual baptism by faith) and was all my Sin was crucified in his flesh and my flesh as one. I received the Holy Spirit and was Born again!

How can I judge others when I have been forgiven so deeply? I forgive just as Jesus did. Much of the Church misses this but just because they do it doesn't invalidate how amazing Jesus really is.

A lot of people think that, but I disagree.

Many Democratic and liberal programs and ideas are very much in line with Christianity. Feed the poor, shelter the homeless, care for the sick, love thy neighbor. These are fundamentally Christian ideas.

I think the democratic party is the more Christian party. They have worse press, and the abortion issue turns off too many, but they're still more Christian overall.

As a religious person, I have a hard time telling someone who's not religious, that they cannot have an abortion. I can try to discourage them, but to pass a law that forbids it. That's not Christian to me.

That's the problem. You blindly follow 'the science' and feel the bible can mean whatever you want it to mean. So much so that even the idea that abortion, which is clearly a states issue, is 'destroying women's rights' because that will be decided more locally.

If you are confused by whether abortion is right or wrong, you can simply look at the cultural outcomes that have resulted from on demand abortion.

The original argument was that they would be safe, rare, and reduce teen pregnancy. The outcome? On demand abortion, demands they are paid for by the taxpayer, lower rates of marriage and the misery that comes from single mother homes.

God commands us to be charitable, not be forced to give up whatever the state demands and only witness these problems get worse.

To have a prosperous society you must have a moral society. Dem policies foster a low trust, immoral, selfish and entitled society.


Wait, how do abortions lead to single mother homes? Lol

And you, a true capitalist and Randhead, have no right to lecture people about morality. Capitalism is the antithesis of morality.

Once the GOP started giving the old reach around to White Southern Evangelicals 45+ years ago, there has been no avoiding it.

I think religion should have f*ck all to do with politics and government. Faith and worship beliefs should be contained to said places of worship. Believe in what you want, but don't impose your beliefs on the next person and respect their right to practice whatever religion they want, or, their right to not subscribe to any belief at all.

The religion of rape apologia seems to be the rage nowadays.

You know what else is immoral? Raping people, but that part seems not to bother him.

NGL, seeing religion being forced upon people in that Project 2025 proposal was kinda crazy. Dunno why those people feel those ideas should be brought into politics

Unfortunately it is

Donald Trump is the golden calf of the evangelicals, the one they worship now in place of their god

It is impossible to separate religion from politics at this point because they made their religion political. Though I guess that's always been the case with Europe and European descended countries, we just like to pretend it isn't sometimes.


Once the GOP started giving the old reach around to White Southern Evangelicals 45+ years ago, there has been no avoiding it.

I think religion should have f*ck all to do with politics and government. Faith and worship beliefs should be contained to said places of worship. Believe in what you want, but don't impose your beliefs on the next person and respect their right to practice whatever religion they want, or, their right to not subscribe to any belief at all.

The religion of rape apologia seems to be the rage nowadays.

It is kind of funny, how when it comes to someone they agree with politically it doesn't matter how many rules they break, they forgive them

But they're the first ones to rally around increasing punishments and hardening the laws to throw more people in jail

Because they're hypocrites lol. Even this one preaching on this site, the bible explicitly says praying loudly in public and showing off how good of a person you are gets you no points and you should pray behind closed doors in private.

Do not enforce your religious beliefs on everyone else pretty simple respect everyone and their beliefs.

When Maga starts blaming everyone else for their issues maybe it is time to look in the mirror and accept you are part of the issue and not the solution.

"Separation of Church and State is a phrase that refers to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The phrase dates back to the early days of U.S. history, and Thomas Jefferson referred to the First Amendment as creating a “wall of separation” between church and state as the third president of the U.S. The term is also often employed in court cases. For example, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black famously stated in Everson v. Board of Education that “[t]he First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state,” and “[t]hat wall must be kept high and impregnable.”

Yes. There is never to be a national church. Satanists have lied and now claim that Christian morality has no place in society as they force Satanism down everyone's throat by force.

Someone's morality will be the law of the land. If the evil of atheists/Satanists is the law, you end up with hell on earth.


What did i just read? morality while based in faith is not tied to any particular faith. We are not and have never been a Christian nation. Hence the 1st amendment. Dont force your ideals on anyone else in the name of god or country.
Not Satanism at all. It is called respect for your neighbor but as long as we are chatting
is it Christian to claim emanant domain and kill off the native Americans in the name of god (sounds Christian to me to kill off a native population), The Spanish Inquisition anyone, how about the crusades?

This country has people of every faith how noble of you to blame the devil when you try to force your beliefs on people of other faiths..
You get the 10 commandments on a wall when you get the 613 Jewish Commandments and the 10 Muslim Creeds up next to them.
Either you treat everyone fairly with respect or gtfo.

I am going to ask what do you think gives you or anyone else the rights to force religion down anyone's throat. It is not for their benefit.

So what faith is America's morality based in? Someone's ideas of right and wrong will be imposed. The atheist simply claims to have no faith, yet we can reliably know where an atheist stands on most issues.

America was founded by Christians for Christians. There were official state religions. Since the 60s, radical atheists have worked overtime to force God and His ways out of society. But as atheists can't help but to invert reality, it is no surprise that they are claiming that America was an atheist nation and Christians have somehow invaded or took over and are trying to change a once great atheist nation into a Christian theocracy. Silly and delusional stuff.
