Funny if the FSM smites them all al dente.
the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion
Treaty of Tripoli, Article 11
Prayer explicitly as PR, rather than a personal relationship with God.
These people never seem to have read Matthew 6:5-6.
They haven't read a lot of things. One of the things that amuse me is seeing xtians tattoo various xtian things on their body, like Hegseth, for example:
Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
They cherry pick from the OT whatever suits them. I'm fine if they ignore such rules from the OT with the argument that, like the food rules, it's not relevant anymore thanks to Jesus. Cherry picking just the stuff you can use to justify hurting people, while ignoring anything that doesn't suit your taste, is hypocrisy.
And then they invent stuff that's not even in the Bible, like their stupid abortion ban.
Can you blame them? That shit works. Religious people aren't the smartest tools in the shed, so no one ever wonders why people like donnie don't know shit about their religion or how it comea that he's never in church. All they see is performative stunts, and they love that.

"the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion" -John Adams
"If God truly does exist, then he more so loves the atheist who questions the world around him than the Christian who blindly follows." -Thomas Jefferson
More than half of the Founding Fathers were atheists or agnostic.
And the rest were deists
Is this really a good time for the US to potentially violate the Treaty of Tripoli and risk the rise of piracy against US vessels in the Mediterranean / Middle East region?
Aren't they already pillaging the middle east?
reclaiming the country's religious foundations
Thomas Jefferson wrote specifically about the first Amenment in 1802, stating that the adopted amendment created a “wall of separation between the church and state.”
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison both strongly opposed the state supporting one specific religion. Per their beliefs, it is a violation of a natural right to religious liberty when you compel a citizen to support a specific faith.
Who. The fuck would this administration pray to!? Their idol is right there!
"Christian"
Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you, they have their reward! But whenever you pray, go into your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:5-7
Yeah, they should just own it and call themselves who Jesus was addressing: Pharisees, liars and hypocrites.
Nothing less in the path of true scripture than this administration.
What’s with the “quasi?” It’s an explicit endorsement of Christianity as the national religion they’re not supposed to have. It’s literally the first amendment to the constitution they love to rub all over their sweaty white bodies.
I knew these fuckers didn’t know any history.
Oh, good! I was afraid the lack Christian leadership over the years might have created a vacuum.
We've only had Christian presidents for 250 years, after all.
The current president is not. He's made it pretty clear he's only pretending for the votes.
I would love to run as a third party pagan animist just to break the trend.
I'll try to douse the flames if it comes to it.
May the Sun and Earth bless you!

TST should bring their Baphomet statue.
We're gonna have to fight these bozos at some point, aren't we...
Yep
From the 1797 Treaty of Tripoli. Ratified by the Senate which had just recently approved the Bill of Rights, and signed by President John Adams.
“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion, as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religious or tranquility of Musselmen, and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mehomitan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinions shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.”
Maybe they will say a word of prayer for the Epstein child rape victims as well, being Christian and all.
/s
More like praying for the Epstein perpetrators/ruling class
It's amazing they don't all burst into flames, if there was a just god...
There is no God. There is no karma. There is no universal justice.
There's only what we do on Earth that matters.
“Hamanda acka acka racka deda backa sanda acka ambo osa cacka reeté eké banda acka riki dibi asha daaah”
Pretty sure they'd get burned and killed by the original Pelgrims whom were considered the ISIS of their time in Europe... Which was hardcore religious as it was already... So imagine those ppl going like 'wtf dudes, chill!!!'
That rotten core lives on up to this day - and will keep festering as it's part of their cultural DNA.
You know, Christianity was used for the left during the New Deal among other times, in fact the New Deal was put together on a coalition that included a broad base of Christians who believed it was essentially Jesus's work to do so.
Today the left has so much spiritual trauma we dump on religion and want it gone, but really we need to embrace it and have a strong faith based arm that can speak this language to people. If America is a Christian nation than some immediate changes need to happen - universal healthcare being top priority. Also homelessness, poverty, food insecurity, war, etc. Amen.
I admire the teachings of Jesus 100%, they are for the most part, common sense stuff for people who care about other people and the earth, unfortunately he's being retconned out of the bible by a lot of people. I grew up going to a Catholic school and let me tell you the shock of the difference of what people said they believed and how they acted in the real world is still an issue for me honestly.
It doesn't help that immediately after the gospels are Paul's angry, regressive, and authoritarian letters to all the congregations he was trying to dominate, followed by the late-first century anti-Roman millenarian fever dream of Revelations.

It's not though.
so I'm catching up on The Boys and I'm having trouble which inspired which, reality or fiction
Why should non Christians keep obeying their laws they don't really have power to stop many of us
Meanwhile religious extremists run iran
Yep and we put them there. Operation Apex 1953.
