How Religious Freedom Became A Rightwing Assault On The Rule Of Law

[BS Filter]

One claim has nothing to do with the other. Stupid response.

Okay, then explain to me what a real Christian believes. Go ahead.

 

[Correll]

Nothing fair about it at all. When did we all of a sudden decide religious groups could use public schools? Any religious group? Why should I pay taxes to fund a specific religious group?

I addressed that in my previous response to you. But I will repost since you somehow missed it.


Here you go.



It is fair to allow religious groups to use school rooms for their meetings. They have the same right to organize a group and have meetings in teh school as any other group of students do, such as say the Art Club or the LGBTQZWXYTHUREW kids.


Your desire to single them out and deny them the same rights as others, is YOU being oppressive.

Do you see Birx looking like she just pissed in her pants listening to your retard president? WTF do you do with that total dumb fuck? And you want to talk about Birx? Man get your stupid shit out of here.

Yeah, I do want to talk about Birx because she admitted to the world that she and Fauci simply made shit up and knew cloth masks do not do a damn thing against microscopic virus and germs.

It is completely understandable why you desperately attempted to engage in 'B...b...but Trump' as a distraction to this fact, but suck it up buttercup. Fact may offend your delicate frail being, but tough shit.

Hey BWK, why don't you explain to us all, since you believe cloth Wal Mart masks prevent microscopc germs and viruses from getting to us, how the military is wasting money by training with and issuing the BIO-CHEM masks with the faceshield and filters when they can just go buy cheap cloth masks from Wal Mart?!

Ya know, when I was in isolation, fighting not to go on a respirator, never - not once - did a nurse or doctor walk in wearing normal attire and wearing a cheap cloth mask from Walmart. They were all wearing bio-hazard gear, shields, masks, gloves, boots...and they threw them in the trash when leaving, and put a new set on before coming in again...

Yet Faucci told you dupes that wearing a cloth mask would prevent you from getting COVID...and you bought it.
- Funny how neither laws nor virus protection applies to Democrats. While mandating YOU wear masks, the double-standard authoritarians partied, went to baseball games, and violated their own mandates - no masks!

Biden, Birx, and Faucci told you the vaccine would prevent you from getting COVID...and you sheep bought it; yet, quadrupple-vaxed Dems like Biden caught COVID ... multiple times.

Now they tell you the vaccine will lessen the severity of the virus, NOT PREVENT IT.

The Vax was an EXPIRAMENTAL DRUG not fully tested and did not go through all safety protocols...yet Democrats mandated it being taken fined and fired people who refused - even stripped some of the Constitutional Rights of religeous freedom from others to force them to take this EXPERIMENTAL DRUG THAT DID NOT DO WHAT THEY SAID IT WOULD DO!

Why don't you mind your own business and live your religious beliefs?

Why don't you practice what you preach and stop trying to remake the US into Sodom and Gomorrah.

Republicans are in the tank for themselves, which has zero relationship with Christianity. Feed the hungry, love thy neighbor. Folks like you hate other races, immigrants, and homosexuals. How do we know? Just find and read a thread on this forum some place.

Uh huh, sure. Because you lefties just love Christians and know what Christianity is. You attack Christians every chance you get. Homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible. No one professing to be Christian can promote homosexuality.

Critical thinking was never for you. Lying is.

Says thee boob who couldn't think his way out of a paper sack.

Sodom and Gomorrah were ancient history by the time of Abraham and Lot. The morality tale is about the treatment of strangers, not sex

Wearing two different fabrics is also a death penalty offence.

S&G were destroyed due to their Sin, sexual immorality, turning their backs on God, etc...

Perhaps you are thinking of 'DO unto others...' regarding the treatment of strangers.

 

[OKTexas]

So which is it? Are we supposedly supporting these traits or ignorant of them? Becuase you just claimed both.

In reality, Trump spoke to our interests and discussed policies that were crafted to appeal to us, and to benefit us, primarily better trade and immigration policies.

That is what motivated his supporters to become his supporters. If you want to address his supporters, do so based on the actual reasons for their support.

Yes, we, or at least most of us, are aware of his business background, not to mention his divorces. These are not the REASONS for his support, but reasons that are outweighted by other factors.

So, do you understand that now, or are you going to pretend to be confused so you can still talk shit about us?







You say it, but your stated reasons are at best, simply wrong.




That Hitler used some words in his rhetoric, does not mean that everyone who uses those words, are like him.

That you don't get that, is a problem with you.




Donald Trump crafted polices designed to appeal to an ignored voting bloc, ie working class whites. There was nothing incorrect a bout history in trying to find a way to serve the interests of that voting bloc.

You are...making a lot of grand accusations that are not backed up by Trump's actual actions or policies.


Name one thing about history that TRump got wrong.

You're spending way too much time on that foreign POS.

Wearing two different fabrics is also a death penalty offence.

Maybe for the Jews, not Christians.

But please, continue displaying your ignorance of Christianity.

 

[ThisIsMe]

This is a lie.

Christian conservatives are at complete liberty to express their bigotry and hatred concerning gay Americans.

No government measures have been enacted to preempt rightwing Christian hate speech directed at gay and transgender individuals; Christian conservatives have not be subject to punitive measures by government for engaging in anti-gay and anti-transgender hate speech.

And if private citizens in the context of private society condemn and denounce hate speech against gay and transgender Americans propagated by Christian conservatives, it’s the bigotry and hate they condemn and denounce, not the religion.

And if private citizens in the context of private society condemn and denounce hate speech against gay and transgender Americans propagated by Christian conservatives, it’s the bigotry and hate they condemn and denounce, not the religion.

And that's is a perfect example of what I've been saying. You could have easily said this:

"And if private citizens in the context of private society condemn and denounce homosexuality, it’s not hate and bigotry of the person, it's the lifestyle they disapprove of"

You leftys love to throw around that "hate" word a lot, but I don't think you understand what's really going on. Sure, if you look, you'll find a subset of people who actually hate gay people, but most Christians would love the person, but disapprove of the lifestyle.

I did, snowflake. Maybe you should. God said he would not destroy the city if one righteous man could be found there. After it could not he done S&G destroyed by fire and brimstone.

Again, perhaps you are thinking 'Do unto others...' or you're just making shit up.

 

[OKTexas]

Yea, that's what we figured. You're a liar.

Run along foreigner, you've proven time and again that you can't comprehend the written word in English.

[OKTexas]

It hurts everything, because it is forced. We have a separation clause in the first amendment right?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

'Sodom and Gomorrah (/ˈsɒdəm ... ɡəˈmɒrə/) were two legendary biblical cities destroyed by God for their wickedness.

The people of Sodom and Gomorrah were the first on earth to commit a certain “indecency,” and the Qurʾān states that they lusted after men instead of women (7:80–81). This novel indecency merited their destruction'

Religious freedom has long been a shield. It is this right that all Americans possess, and the words etched into the edifice of the Supreme Court tell us, "Equal justice under law." This right applies equally to all of us. It was supported by a strong separation of church and state, but not anymore.

There is a well-funded powerful network of Christian nationalist organizations and judges that are working to weaponize the First Amendment, to turn the protection of religious freedom enjoyed by all of us into a weapon of Christian privilege for the few. The crusaders' religious freedom challenges are superficially about things like Christian crosses and veterans or playgrounds or private school vouchers or bakeries and gay weddings, but really they're about religious privilege, often literally about privileging religion over non-religion, Christianity over other religions and the right kind of conservative Christians over other Christians. At its most basic level, they are trying to turn religious freedom into a weapon to reclaim and entrench their lost status as the dominant caste in American society.

As Seidel notes, 150 years ago the Supreme Court warned that weaponized religious freedom would "permit every citizen to become a law unto himself," so there's much more at stake here than "just" the First Amendment.

How 'religious freedom' became a right-wing assault on the rule of law

The Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade sent shockwaves through the American electorate. But as shocking as the destruction of a fundamental right may be, more radical changes may lie ahead, as Andrew Seidel warns in his new book, "American Crusade: How the Supreme Court Is...

"permit every citizen to become a law unto himself"

I guess those "originalists" just conveniently ignored that part of the original intent.

The Constitution doesn't address abortion, so it's a State issue. Word

Nothing fair about it at all. When did we all of a sudden decide religious groups could use public schools? Any religious group? Why should I pay taxes to fund a specific religious group?

Why should Satanic groups, such as those promoting homosexuality, transsexuality, and other sick, depraved sexual perversions, be allowed to use these public resources?

It's not religion to which you object. It's only good religion. You're perfectly fine with openly evil religion.
