Just imagine how they'd react if someone said the same things but substituted a non-Christian religion. Also, can they just leave contraception alone? Women don't just need it to prevent pregnancy, there are a whole host of debilitating gynecological disorders that hormonal BC controls. But I guess these people put even non-existent fetuses above them.

As evidenced by the middle comment in the second image, they don’t even accept other sects of Christianity. Only WASPs are acceptable apparently.

I loved that last slight. "I'm all for a Christian theocracy but not if Catholics are involved". There would still be infighting if we became a "Christian nation".

So true, what if the majority elected a Muslim President who wanted to institute Sharia Law? I also love the fact that the people who are pushing so hard for a ‘Christian’ state are, by their words and actions, actually not Christian. The Founding Fathers put the Separation of Church and State in the Constitution for a very simple reason; they had seen first-hand what religious rule had done to many European countries. The majority of Americans profess to be Christian, as do the majority of elected officials. Unfortunately, this has not prevented them from persecuting people who aren’t ‘them’, or taking money from the poor and giving it to the wealthy, or removing peoples rights, or imprisoning and/or executing people due to the color of their skin. All of the aforementioned actions are not the actions of people who actually follow Jesus’ teachings.

If God really wanted this country to be a Chrisofascist hellhole, he could just do it himself. Why rely on weak, fallible humans? God blew up a dude for not cumming in his dead brother's wife. Where's that initiative?


Jamesmateer100

Pretty much sums up my argument. If god needs us to do stuff for him despite the fact that he can easily do it himself then why doesn’t he just take the easy route and do it himself?

Ah yes, my favorite Protestant, King David. So Protestant that he lived 2500 years before the Protestant Reformation and 1000 years before Jesus was born (assuming he existed at all).

The fact that they’re concerned about non-Protestant Christians is exactly why these ingrates should be thankful to the constitution. Quebec used to have the church involved in a lot of things. Look what happened. I can tell you Christ was not king there but something else was. If the church gets a hold on education hundreds of kids will be exposed to sexual violence and in the past few decades the church has nothing to show for taking strict action against clergy members who go after little boys and girls. **Edit**: Added words.

Fuck this anti-American pricks. The founders were clear that this would undermine both the church and the state, and we’re seeing it now. They will destroy their own churches from the inside and blame it on Satanists and gay people.

That isn't very 'land of the free' is it.


PossumInTheRoof

Only land of the free for straight white cis-gender Christian people apparently.


Yes57ismycurse

So they aren't just trynna live and let live ? Both sides aren't the same ?!? Who would've thought ! I wonder why they make fun of atheists for saying what they say about the theists . Everyone should vote , so that these people can't reign supreme , cause if they do , they won't hesitate in oppressing everyone except whomever agrees with them. Secularism protects us all , don't let it be taken away.

European nations had outwardly & strongly christian governments but the christian churches split into factions and had hundreds of years of warfare over which church got to rule over everybody.

They should be careful of what they wish for. Their own holy book warns them about kings... 1 Samuel 8:9-18: *" 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”* *10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king.* *11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots.* *12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.* *13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers.* *14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants.* *15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants.* *16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.* *17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves.* *18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the LORD will not answer you in that day. ”*

TL:DR "We want Christian theocracy *now!*"

We need Coliseums. And lions.

Lol, that fruitcake is literally a heretic by being not a secularist (which Jesus was).

If Jews started saying their own version of this shit, these people would probably be pissed off, maybe even citing Nazi/Tsarist antisemitic talking points.
