& Co. intend to force a despite our Constitution expressly forbidding any establishment of religion.

Jews, Muslims, agnostics, atheists, and actual Christians should be horrified by words below from a retired general who has shown his disloyalty to America..👇🏼

Trump’s former (& future?) nat sec adviser Mike Flynn: “If we are going to have one nation under God which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God and one religion under God”

@GottaLaff Even Christians disagree what Christianity is. What Mike Flynn means is one nation under HIS version of God - which actually means HIM.

@Alan In his case, it's not Christian, it's "Christian"

@GottaLaff @GhostOnTheHalfShell This may be hard to believe, but it's true: the New England Puritans gathered all of their most prominent figures, wrote a letter declaring their absolute opposition to this idea, had everyone sign it, and sent it off to the people deciding how the nation would run.

Their complaints were that any church merged with the state ceases to function as a church and is merely an arm of the state, and; the only way they could freely practice their religion was if everyone else could freely practice their religions, too, and a state church made that impossible.

As a Christian, I'd rip the ceremonial-deist "God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance, off the currency, and out of everything else associated with the secular state, which should remain resolutely secular.

    @GhostOnTheHalfShell @GottaLaff Yup. And that's some magical thinking right there.

    But the other reason is to acclimate people to the idea of a religious state.

    marincountyca,

    @GottaLaff Okay, how about making Judaism or Islam our national religion, Mike?

    @GottaLaff has been a leading since before he had that dinner with Putin and Jill Stein. As far as I'm concerned, Flynn is an against this company.

    Flynn has no problem using violence to get his Christofascist hell state installed with himself as Dear Leader. There is violent cult energy that he channels from various factions.

    Lot's of gullible subjects in Amerikka. Maybe because Amerikkka is mired in advertising, we are very susceptible to brainwashing? Hard to figure out how so many people have gone literally insane.

    @GottaLaff A group of F’ing dictator wannabes. They have been following Hitler’s playbook. But uncle Adolf was smart enough to avoid a national religion.

    @BobMazatlan I mean, this is just scary as hell.

    damkina,

    @GottaLaff Someone needs to ask those who profess to be Christians, which denomination other than their own they are willing to practice? Since a great number in Congress claim to be Catholic, would Lutherans be ok with Catholicism? Would they be ok with the government taking roll at church to make sure they are complying with the theocracy?

    GottaLaff,
    @GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

    @damkina Someone needs to ask them to STFU too.

    @GottaLaff bearing in mind that Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same imaginary being.
