How long until a couple of things happen? 1) Some teacher complies by posting the Ten Commandments in Hebrew or Aramaic? (After of course determining which version of the Ten Commandments is acceptable to Reverends Abbott and Patrick) 2) The Satanic Temple sues to allow a monument to Satan be posted as well?

Good questions but the GOP judges will have the GOP's back.

Would this be the case that Roberts wants as his own personal Dred Scott Decision? Alito & Thomas would for sure, but I'm not convinced that there is a majority to allow this to stand.

Here’s also something I don’t get: they want a “Christian” nation: but what version? Baptist? Lutheran? Catholic? Methodist? It’s crazy.

I sure hope that a Scientologist insists on posting whatever rules they have.

Dean keep using “Taliban” and “Sharia law”. That helps. For some of these fascist nutjobs “Christian Nationalist” is a badge of honor. So we need to continue to turn their behavior against them. Anyway great article.

Why are so called "christians" so tied to the "Jewish Bible", the Old Testament.

One of the supposed points of Jesus was to replace the old testament Jehovah an angry and vindictive god with a supposed new God of love.

Post the Beautitudes not the commandment.

Come on a small bit of consitentcy with their delusional belief system.

I mean after it is all myths legends and cults dreamed up by shepherds in the middle east huddled around sheet dung fires. Cults based upon fear, ignorance andneed to justify violence upon any of the "others".

"This is just one more reason that we must win in 2024 on the federal--and state levels. If not, the GOP will soon be able to pass federal legislation to impose nationwide what they are now doing in Texas."

And much, much more.

I feel like I’m living in a dystopian nightmare, and I keep hoping to wake up. We need to VOTE ( in those places that voting will still be allowed) 😩

Cathy: did you see the WAPO article on Ottawa Co.? Scary stuff going on down state (I assume with the help of the DeVos machine and Hillsdale College.) https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/22/ottawa-county-commission/

Beth, I had not seen this article although, since Ottawa County is just a stone’s throw away from me, I have been aware of some of the shenanigans (read horror) going on there. Thank you for sharing this link. This is all so truly disheartening and frightening.

Framkly, that is illegal. Separation of church and state is fundamental. Otherwise,, all churches must be taxed!

Nat ionalists C hristians ~ Nat Cs ~ F god ~ F religion ~ Anti-theist Atheist Apistevist me 🤔🧐🤣😂🫂🥰💕🌈💙⚛️🇺🇲🕯️🕊️✌️ P.S My Religion: Me ha 4:20 Organized Religion I overwhelming consider an enemy of the people, an enemy of democracy, an enemy of civilized society, an enemy of science, an enemy of human autonomy, an enemy of women, of the gay community, of peace, etc. I will never understand how any adult could be fooled into believing in anything supernatural like god ~ The entire basis of Christianity is god impregnating a teenager without her consent for the actual purpose of killing his own child ~ Religion: almost all the earliest gods there been 1ks throughout time were named Mary until the aristocrat gave permission for the commoners to read their religious stories. Than Man took over these stories replacing women gods for male gods which was the beginning of male patriarchy, the ending of psychedelic elixirs for finding our natural higher spiritual finding or awakening bc now our structured religious leaders are the higher power for your spiritual growth, control, dominance which lead to the destruction of society and our livable planet. Man didn't inherit the earth they stole it from the woman. Don't make me throw up ~ Anti-theist Atheist Apistevist me 🤔🧐🤣😂🫂🍄🥰💕💙🌈⚛️🇺🇲🕯️🕊️✌️ P.S 650 million years ago fungi birthed animal's ⚛️🕯️🕊️✌️ The use of psychedelics and stories with the the earliest spiritual leaders. In the Scandinavian region there's a plant that is poisonous to humans to eat which contains psychedelic ingredients. Reindeer would eat this plant were the reindeers liver would process the poison out of the plant and release the psychedelic ingredients in their urine, the Shaman would collect the psychedelic urine in the snow (don't eat yellow snow😅) and use the psychedelic snow in their spiritual elixirs and their teachings, the story of flying Reindeer begins. Then the use of psychedelic mushroom 🍄🥰💕❤️ which is red and white for finding in Europe which is were the story of Santa Claus comes from. The psychedelic ingredients in magic mushrooms 🍄 is psilocybin. The amount of psilocybin needed to give you a psychedelic trip with magic mushrooms is .000000000000(0) on the 13th decibel the hallucinogenics start. The lethal amount of magic mushrooms is 15 lbs, which makes it one of the safest drugs you could use and big pharma has said that they would love to have a drug on the market that is that safe, a half bottle of aspirin will kill you. In the New England Journal of Medicine states that a single dose of psilocybin magic mushrooms can relieve depression up to 3 months current anti-depressant take multiple times a day and don't miss a dose. Organized Religion has taken all of away 😥🤔🧐🤣😂🫂🍄🥰💕🌈💙⚛️🕯️🕊️✌️
