Democrats War on God.

[OldLady]

OP is backwards. The republicans are trying to push god into schools, Democrats are defending our tradition of separating church and state.

Maybe so. It seems that way lately.

 

[DrLove]

Yep, and after they win the "War on God" they'll be coming after yer guns

*Or it might be simultaneous - Bunker uP!!

It goes back to the former KKK member who was appointed to the Supreme Court by FDR. Justice Black was raised with an abiding hatred of Papists and his majority opinion in 1948 inventing the "separation of church and state" that did not exist in the Constitution was intended to curb the proliferation of Catholic schools that were springing up around the Country. A succession of hypocrite democrat administrations expanded the concept to Christmas trees on public property, Bibles in schools and even a silent prayer. Now we are faced with another idiotic democrat party assault on the 1st Amendment.

Holy shit. The Stupid is as thick as the Doublethink.

News flash Gomer --- the First Amendment is exactly where the Church *IS* separated from the State. Divorcing the source of legislative power AWAY FROM the Church, and the Aristocracy, was the whole POINT of this Great Experiment that wrote the entire Constitution.

That's why it's the first named entity in the first point of the Bill of Rights, to wit: "Congress shall make no Law respecting an establishment of Religion..." That is a direct rejection of what were up to that time the overbearing influences on state rulers --- the Clergy and the Aristocracy, a/k/a the First and Second Estates. The first was dismissed right there in the first point of the Bill of Rights, immediately and in no uncertain terms. The second was shut out in the rest of the document that spells out how the government is set up precisely at the pleasure of the goverrned. and pointedly NOT by some royal dynasty. That's the entire POINT of the Constitution.

Ignorance is Strength, right Winston?

But maybe schools are being interpreted as "government" when they are actually microcosms of their community? As much as I see this incident as nothing but poking the bear, should a school be considered as "government?"

"Congress shall make no Law respecting an establishment of Religion..."

exactly

I dont' see Congress involved in this, I dont' see any establishment of religion, and I dont' see Separation of Church and State in the Amendment.

Who can forget when God was literally booed at the Democratic National Convention in 2012? The Democrats removed recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and God from their party platform and then moved to add the references back in after concerns about losing Jewish voters and Christian independent voters. However, when they added the references back in a voice vote, the move was met with loud boos on the floor of the convention.

Tel Aviv has always been the capital of Israel. The Democrats were right.

No Gods thank you....If you trust in your God then do as such, a building needs no such conviction to exist.

This should not have been moved. It's a political topic. Totally disagree with this decision.

it's to show noobs the fz

quit your whining

Democrats are defending our tradition of separating church and state.

Is that a Constitutional right?

Generally considered to be part of the first amendment though not written out in that form:. "Separation of church and state" is paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson and used by others in expressing an understanding of the intent and function of the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States which reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

It's not that hard dude.

Zackly. It's kind of telling when this crowd claims to defer to a supreme being, and yet needs the sanction of government to enforce that deference. Kinda having it both ways as to which one's in charge.

But they haven't figured that out yet, even though their Constitution already did two centuries ago.

It's merely a redundancy so maybe they won't fergit...

I never understood why the need to advertise your belief in what someone told you was the truth before you ever actually found out if it was the truth or not....By dying and then when resurrected and living in Paradise coming back through time travel and telling us all about it..So we can laugh at you..

The post I quoted was about the First Amendment and utterly misrepresented it, not about a school. That's why I called out that mischaracterization directly on that point.

Let's face facts, religion is a for-profit organization that plays on peoples fear, anxiety and desperation....They should be outlawed...or licensed just like a shrink has to dood...

You don't see Congress involved in the First Amendment? Maybe technically correct since the 1A prohibits Congress from acting in a certain direction, but prohibition is also an 'involvement'.

As for the phrase, we could sit here all day and express the same idea in different wording and different phrases without changing what they all mean.

Let's face facts, religion is a for-profit organization that plays on peoples fear, anxiety and desperation....They should be outlawed...or licensed just like a shrink has to dood...

And the observer's first question should be why that party is interested in infusing religious ideas into a setting where it has no function. What that party's motivations are, what its end game is. Where is it GOING.

In the same way an observer's first question upon seeing a national anthem infused into a sporting event where it too has no function. It's ultimately the same thing for the same end game purpose -- an instrument to control the masses to make them docile and obedient --- presenting an Authority Figure to the masses so that they will take orders.

You'd also think the Second Amendment champions would be averse to being programmed to take orders.
You'd think. But that of course would require a philosophical consistency.

They pop up out of place just from being overly anxious to perform.

The whole action is one of propaganda wins hearts and dimes...They think God is not in the schools so that is why humans are killing other humans in schools. Yet when I was growing up in the 1960's and 1970's kids were killing each other in and out of schools then also with God in the hallowed hallways to the sports arena with the cult-like group prayers and hymnals..B-l-a-h...
