Cruz's dad Rafel talks like he thinks the NT shoud replace the Constitution

[C_Clayton_Jones]

A sermon Rafael Cruz delivered in August 2012 at an Irving, Texas, mega-church has also come under scrutiny. At that event, he asserted that Christian true believers are "anointed" by God to "take dominion" of the world in "every area: society, education, government, and economics." He was preaching a particular form of evangelical Christianity known as Dominionism (a.k.a. Christian Reconstructionism) that holds that these "anointed" Christians are destined to take over the government and create in practice, if not in official terms, a theocracy. Rafael Cruz also endorsed the evangelical belief known as the "end-time transfer of wealth"—that is, as a prelude to the second coming of Christ, God will seize the wealth of the wicked and redistribute it to believers. But, Cruz told the flock, don't expect to benefit from this unless you tithe mightily.

Watch: Ted Cruz's father calls the US a "Christian nation" and says Obama should go "back to Kenya"

I didn't vote for Obama due to his preacher, and wont for Cruz since this is his Daddy.

Yes, this is one of the more reprehensible manifestations of the social right – their ignorance of, or contempt for, settled and accepted Establishment Clause jurisprudence.

This ignorance and contempt is compounded by the lies many on the social right contrive and attempt to propagate.

These lies include:

The lie that government is 'hostile' to Christians

The lie that Christians are subject to some sort of 'attack' by government

The lie that Christians are somehow 'disallowed' to engage in religious expression in public places and venues

The lie that the United States is a 'Christian Nation'

And the lie that it was not the Framers' intent to keep church and state separate

When the courts appropriately invalidate laws, measures, and government policies clearly in violation of the Establishment Clause - laws, measures, and government policies devoid of a secular purpose, that seek to promote religious doctrine and dogma, and manifest as excessive entanglement of government and religion – such rulings in no way 'violate' religious liberty or expression, another lie many on the social right would have us believe.

One should not vote for Cruz because he's in fact wrong on the issues, having nothing to do with his father's beliefs.

Didn't work for the Puritans...in fact, their horrible failure was an abject lesson to the Constitution Framers.

Another far left drone that proves they do not understand anything post, just has to run their religious narratives..

Prove what I said is wrong.

And the typical far left posts their known religious bunk and expects others to prove them wrong! They expect others to prove a negative..

The burden of proof is on you far left drone!

See how the far left religious narrative will run on and on even though it has been debunked over and over..

And then they can not figure out why they called far left drones!

Yet you voted for Obama twice!

Silly far left drone!

The point of the OP is a division of state and religion, and not to become a SA , or even Israel who is anti religion.

We need the right to practice what we want, in our church or in our homes, not in government. We can't have laws based on the bible. We'd be back to stoning, but thank goodness for Jesus who saved that one woman and the Romans who took away capital punishment from the Jews. We also do not want Sharia law forced on everyone , or even RC theology.

I do want a moral President who is not quick to go to war, who would rather use diplomacy than weapons, and isn't bought and caters to the wealthy corps.

If you need a preacher , go to church.

"We need the right to practice what we want, in our church or in our homes"...as long as it's just somewhere you or and Radical Islamists can see it...how very Constitutional of you.

" We can't have laws based on the bible."

Much of our Legal System is based on Christian "principles" but not on explicit scripture, on this I agree with you.

"Romans who took away capital punishment from the Jews."

The Romans "defined" capital punishment.

ALL politicians are bought and paid for to some extent sister, the last who wasn't was Kennedy, John F. and we know what happened to him.
