'No Separation Of Church And State': Trump's Religious Liberty Commission Reveals Its Priorities

[g5000]

It is really, really, really stupid to infect your religion with politics.

Really stupid.

It destroys your religion. Every time.

The number of people who NEVER attend church these days has skyrocketed since Trump's first term.

People cannot abide the rank and rife hypocrisy of a cult which celebrates and idolizes a serial adulterer, prolific thief, and pathological liar.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

The U.S. is based on Judeo/Christian morals and values. There is no 'Church of America.'

People keep asserting these things. Actions depict otherwise.

SCOTUS rules on the Constitution.

The 1st amendment does not apply to state governments.

Seems like you missed the entire class.

The 1st Amendment does apply to the states.

how do you know?

Jesus told me so

 

[konradv]

Uh...no. I don't.

History bears me out.

Up until 1963, school prayer was allowed. Why was that?

Don't ask for anything else until you can explain this.

Otherwise, we'll accept your concession on the point or your admission that you are an intellectually lazy left winger.

The fact that prayer is not allowed in class proves I’m right.

 

[konradv]

That's a bald faced lie. You have nothing before the 1930's and even then it is very small until the 1960's.

Explain school prayer up through 1962 (and BTW: It's coming back).

You are one ignorant fool that knows nothing about history and makes sweeping claims that are ********.

It's no wonder you losers do just that.....lose.

Nobody pays attention to you except the radicals in your drug addled little cults.

You ignore the fact that interpretations have evolved. The Constitution is a living document.

 

[konradv]

You’ve cited no case law, I’ve asked

Neither have you. I’m not the one making a claim against precedent.

 

[Leo123]

People keep asserting these things. Actions depict otherwise.

Only in your own mind because you have no evidence to back up what you say.

 

[struth]

Neither have you, but you’re the one making a claim against precedent.

When did I do that? What precedent? Show me where that happened?

 

[konradv]

When did I do that? What precedent? Show me where that happened?

You’re claiming there’s no Separation of Church and State, right?

 

[Zincwarrior]

There is a mandate for freedom of religion.

Bull ******* shit there isn't

 

[Robert W]

There is no 'Church of America' in our constitution but, there is freedom of religion. State representatives are free to worship as they choose. There are multiple places of worship in D.C. There are Christian churches and cathedrals, Jewish congregations & synagogues, Mosques & Islamic centers, Buddhist & Eastern Religious sites and even Ethiopian Orthodox.

More than that, state does not tax the churches.

Why?

Has there been an increase in childbirth since Trump first term? Cause that’s the only way that makes sense

Well your last paragraph does answer my foes question…why do you idolize politicians? I see the danger now

 

[Leo123]

You ignore the fact that interpretations have evolved. The Constitution is a living document.

You make 0 sense.

 

[konradv]

You make 0 sense.

You’re ignorant!

 

[Robert W]

You’re claiming there’s no Separation of Church and State, right?

There is separation of state from church.

 

[struth]

You’re claiming there’s no Separation of Church and State, right?

I claimed there is no law or constitutional amendment that states that specifically

You’ve failed to provide any law or amendment or case law that uses that phrase

You’ve said it’s valid, I agreed, it’s valid to believe there should be. A lot of people thought that way

 

[Robert W]

You ignore the fact that interpretations have evolved. The Constitution is a living document.

Slavery on the rebound?

 

[konradv]

There is separation of state from church.

MAGA seems to think differently.

Maga has not located your statement in the constitution.
