Georgia Republican: State-sponsored religion will end big-government tyranny

Georgia Republican Congressional hopeful Jody Hice said on his radio show on Thursday
that Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was correct in remarks he made recently regarding faith in U.S. society.

In a speech at Colorado Christian University, Scalia said that not only is government endorsement of religion constitutional, but that it is in the country’s best interests to adhere to Biblical law.

“I think the main fight is to dissuade Americans from what the secularists are trying to persuade them to be true: that the separation of church and state means that the government cannot favor religion over non-religion,” Scalia said to the heavily Christian audience.

Government forcing one religion on the people as a way to end tyranny?

I'm thinking this joker has to be a Dem plant, no one, I mean no one can be that friggin' stupid.

 

[Rotagilla]

I didn't see the word tyranny anywhere in the article...ohhhh..I get it..you needed an excuse to demean and disparage people..never mind, then..I almost took you seriously for a second..I should have known better.

 

[ScreamingEagle]

endorsement of religion does not necessarily mean theocracy.....we used to have endorsement of Christianity in this countrry from the beginning which is what help create our great country.....before the godless secularists took control thus creating the decline we now see....

 

[Mad Scientist]

The phrase "Separation of Church and State" was in a personal letter from Thomas Jefferson. It's NOT in the Constitution.

“If the American people want to do it, I suppose they can enact that by statute, but to say that’s what the Constitution requires is utterly absurd,” Scalia said."

And he's right.

 

[CoolBreeze]

Sorry, but the left has already beat us to it, they worship big government.

 

[koshergrl]

Thread title is a lie, yet another shining example of the progressive inability or refusal to comprehend the written word.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Wait, WHAT religion? Because we all know one is good and the others are...meh

 

[koshergrl]

Progressive loons maintain that mentioning God is an *endorsement* and therefore must be FORBIDDEN.

It's a violation of freedom of speech, of course, and completely antithetical to the concept of freedom.

spoken like a member of the religion of liberalism....

And he's right.

So you believe we should NOT have an official policy to separate church and state?
