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

[struth]

Isn't it implied by "...Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…"?

No

We have constantly seen on TV the disrespecting of Christianity and outright blasphemy. Not a single move to do the same to Islam.

Mostly done by television preachers.

The preachers are a disgrace. The TV shows like SNL mocking the birth of Jesus as an example in skits is blasphemy. Progs are anti Christian. Stop it. For decades this has been going on. and the anger and gripes increasing from Prog voters with much of it for no reason.

The preachers are a disgrace but it's wrong to make fun of them?

Sure has been. The Constitution does not establish a church, and it prevents religious oaths.

Tax money to organized religion disenfranchises non-believers, thus validating no taxation without representation.

Unbelievers have twisted the Constitution to erroneously mean Congress shall allow no free exercise of religion except the religion of Secular Humanism which will be universally propagated.

A lot of Demafacist harp on a part quote from Jefferson

Jefferson’s concern was the clergy running the govt, like the Vatican or Church of England

What he never suggested was that a religious person give up their faith to serve in govt

Heck he himself served in govt and made clear that he believed his rights were given to him by a creator

Hmmm, but he didn't believe the creator gave the black folks whom they held in slavery those same rights.

There are millions of humans who believe God supports their inhumanity to their fellow humans.

Yep racist pos….

Thank goodness the gop came along to fix his mistake

 

[SweetTea]

Pro-life folks are often pro-gun. How that works is indeed a mystery.

Jesus was not against self defense.

Luke 22:36 - “Let the one who has no sword sell his cloak and buy one.”

But dare I question Democrat secularists who are “experts” on Christianity and religion.

John Adams famously stated, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”.

“The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries."​

James Madison


We the General Assembly of Virginia do enact [Be it enacted by the General Assembly] that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer, on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.

And though we well know that this Assembly, elected by the people for the ordinary purposes of legislation only, have no power to restrain the acts of succeeding Assemblies, constituted with powers equal to our own, and that therefore to declare this act [to be] irrevocable would be of no effect in law; yet we are free to declare, and do declare, that the rights hereby asserted are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right.

So enslaving black folks was a mistake, a mistake is an unintentional departure from right.

So why is the GOP trying to turn back the clock on black folks today.

Why do you project daily?

We all know you’d rather a old rich white demklan be in office over a black woman

You are a sellout, your projection won’t change that

Hmm, what you just said makes no sense.

I will ask you a question for the 5th time that you keep running from.

If Republicans had not racially gerrymander that district, would that district which is majority black elect a black republican?

Why is there only ONE black Republican senator?

Why is there only 3 black Republican congressmen?

Let's see if your coward ass will run, again.

The Constitution does not bar religious expressions in the state, it bars Congress from restricting the freedom of religious expression in public.

I've answered, repeatedly.....and shown, every time it's your projecting

Why do you want a old rich white guy in office over a strong black woman? Nevermind we know the answer.
