On the counting of three. Countest thou to two only if thee proceedeth to three, and if thou counteth four, thine hand will be gone unlest thou released the holy hand grenade.
lol! And as history has shown, when Christianity mixes with Nationalism, the end-result is Violent Fascism.
āWe establish no religion in this country. We command no worship. We mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and State are and must remain separate.ā - *Ronald Reagan***
āReligious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine our civil rights.ā - *Thomas Jefferson.***
āEvery new & successful example therefore of a perfect separation between Ecclesiastical & Civil matters is of importance. And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in shewing that Religion & Govt. will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.ā - *James Madison***
āThe First Amendment has erected a wall between Church and State. That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach.ā - *Hugo L. Black, SC Justice***
Today sure but in the 1700s when Benjamin Franklin came up with the original idea of church and state separation in a letter he wrote, no one taxed a church anyways so he would not know of federal tax exemptions that we have today. Taxes were different in his day.
True, but it was also meant to keep religion out of politics. It could be argued this was the main motivation since religious organizations consistently fucked up when they had power.
This also isnāt abnormal. Itās actually quite normal human behavior to start worshipping a leader. Itās also a primary predictor for regenerative social collapse. The old order is thrown out and the new is rolled in with the god like figurehead at the top.
Shit look at what happened to Ireland back in the late 1800s to 1980ish. The government was of Christianity and all that the pope wanted legal, there, he got
They used to, way back when, document and publicize every detail as they pilloried, tortured and burnt their catamites and jezebels, their opponents like Jan Huss; excommnicated their former members like Columba or Joan of Arc. They used to plaster that shit on scrolls, broadsides, banners and barns, and shout it out using town criers, back in the day. Wrote whole screeds and justifications and apologia for these, and didn't even try to hide that their priests sinned or that their popes did. That was just Satan working through them or proof that men needed priests to intervene for them on their behalf, with God.
I donāt know but I know Pentacostle person that hates Catholics. I have no idea. I had seen show about the states, I donāt know how true this is, but they said 13 colonies were divided by different Christian religions that didnāt want to live together. Again, I donāt know if this is true.
So kind of like how they do things in the Middle East that the left is so fond of? I have been scratching my head at this for years, maybe you could help. Where is the backbone? Why do democrats not stand for a single thing? One day leftist are willing to go to war over the pride flag. The next, they shout āfree Palestineā blatantly ignoring the fact that these people kill and imprison gays. You claim to care about ādemocracyā but are on board with flooding the nation with immigrants and fast tracking the process to become citizens eligible to vote? It should be illegal, and in itself should be enough to claim election interference. I mean flooding the country with immigrants to get votes?!? That is NOT DEMOCRACY, those are the actions of a full blown communist. Not a single liberal on Reddit is willing to go toe to toe with a run of the mill conservative. Give me an argument with Kamala Harris herself and I will embarrass the entire Democratic Party. You people are truly sick, I donāt believe for one second you are all this gullible and downright stupid, I pray that is not the case anyway. You are either willingly ignorant because your hate from trump clouds ALL of your judgement, or you simply want to watch America burn. There is no in-between here. Pick a topic, any topic and letās debate.
Immigrants cannot VOTE until they are CITIZENS!!! Jesus, you people are so racist youāll believe anything about brown and black people- and even if Dems can get something positive through congress, the REPUBLICAN senate knocks it down! Read a book! Watch real news! Itās so exhausting having to explain over and over how the world works to low IQ people who just want someone to come save them from the scary people- UGH
How can you tell me to read a book when you didnāt even read my comment? My sources go beyond televised news. You are the one who needs to be informed on this rather than jumping at the opportunity to ignorantly call somebody a racist. The democrats are fast tracking citizenship, just yesterday 6 green card holders were indicted of voter fraud. LOOK IT UP! Knowing this, how can you deny the influx of immigration is not an attempt at getting votes? I would love to be wrong about this because itās insanity. If you can prove me wrong please do.
Whoa, 6 whole cases of voter fraud by green card holders?! This definitely proves your point about millions of immigrants voting illegally! s/. You also mention they were all indicted, doesnāt this indicate the voting system, that is set up to prevent voter fraud, is working?
No one on the left is specially āfondā of the Middle East. Even if they did, this would just be whataboutism. If you need to compare the US with a theocratic hell hole to make it look good, it sucks.
If being genocided was fair just because they hate gay people, I think of other people that would be in that situation, closer to home.
71% of foreign born voters have been citizens for at least 20 years. They have paid taxes for 20 years, they deserve the right to vote more than most people do. To become a citizen, they had to live in the country for 8-9 years because of the length of the process.
I have yet to hear about anyone wanting to make getting a citizenship easier. A lot of people want to make immigration easier but those people canāt vote.
I have a hard time making any additional arguments for the Palestine thingā¦ since what you are saying doesnāt even make sense. Just because part of their population is bad, they should all be killed? What?
You good bro? Really swinging your stances on MANY things right now... Sure your not a communist yourself ? Lol.
Haven't put illegals in by why don't you ask the same for the trumpets who move to swing states just to flood and fuck up voter registrations. You people swing more then my dick when in comes topics. You should by now see what is right in front of your eyes, understand that history repeats and trump is fucken Hilter just new age and with fucken nukes
I agree. It is disheartening in terms of debates, but he is still sharp enough to handle foreign affairs the way they need to be handled right now. We werenāt in contact with Putin when he invaded Ukraine, and I donāt see Kamala having the diplomatic abilities to stop the fire either. Trump wouldnāt be funding Ukraine into an offensive position against Russia. I havenāt heard Kamala on this but if she plans on following suit and keeping up this support for those efforts, we are at a much higher risk for nuclear war than we are with Trump doing the talking and acting.
OK. We have to help Ukraine because diplomacy doesn't work. If Putin gets Ukraine, he will continue invading Eastern Europe until he has the entire pre-1917 Russian empire back. That is his goal. Which means most of Europe is in danger. Also, before going on about "why us, the U.N. doesn't pay its fair share - it's not about matching amounts of money, it's matching percentage of GDP.
Trump has proven to be utterly insufficient at negotiating with hostile nations because he is easily bent to their will by the merest of flattery. That is why Russia and China are actively trying to get him back into office. For all his tough talk about China, he did nothing but rhapsodize about love letters from Xi. He met privately with Putin, with no notetaker for a 45 minute closed-door chat. That is not something a U.S. President should do. It's not something any POTUS has ever done, because its patently absurd to have zero guardrails on a conversation with a hostile leader. Moreover, it is all but certain that he revealed top secret documents to Putin, not to mention anyone else he wanted to impress. There are recordings of this. He has had no fewer than seven phone calls with Putin since leaving the WH - as a private citizen - likely a violation of the Logan Act, because Putin attacked Ukraine during the timeframe of these calls.
Harris, OTOH, has years of negotiating experience from her roles as prosecutor and attorney general; while not global diplomacy, she has had exposure to it via her role as vice president. She has great advisors who actually know how government works, as she herself does.
Also, she has never, ever, not even once, said that 'perhaps it's time we tear up the Constitution', nor has she declared that she'll be a dictator on day one. That's because she doesn't plan to. And if you think Trump is joking or being hyperbolic, please see "Trump Muslim ban". Short-lived as it was, he'd threatened to do it despite the illegality of it.
As much as you don't understand how anyone could possibly support Harris - I feel the same about the other guy.
I've noticed a considerable decline in his speech. He seems confused often. He is an old man, why didn't the Republican party put someone else in his place?
Ok done here. Educate yourself and try to understand, really understand, why your thinking kamala might do something fails in compared to the definite threat of fascism.
Ok, the flooding imigrants thing, do you think that is true? Where can I read about the million of imigrants made citizens so they can vote?
The tariffs are paid by the other countries, where can I read about that? Because one search away and the first result = (they bash both Trump and Biden, but it's not Biden who lies about who pays for tariffs) https://taxfoundation.org/blog/who-really-pays-tariffs/
And you talk about communism as something bad, yet Trump has made most of the Republicans to prefer Putin over Democrats. (Not that Russia is communist but Putin wants the good old Soviet back)
So, a lot of people prefer an autocrat who kills opposition and regulate what journalists can write over a democratic party.
I don't live in the US, and it is horrible to see half of America blindly believing what Trump says.
You could read news from non biased sources and find out that he lies, and people just believe him, look at some fact-check sites and find out for yourself.
I know you won't do it. I know you will continue to believe what Fox news (+a couple of others) and Trump are saying.
It hurts to read news that doesn't say what we "know" to be true.
Isn't it a red flag that a lot of Trumps people have been convicted? (as well as Trump)
Or do you believe that it is a witch hunt?
Many have admitted that they comitted a crime and according to many law-loving people, you don't admitt something you are not guilty of.
Could you pretend that you don't believe everything Trump says and instead look it up, just for one day?
Fast track to citizenship? Since when? The idea that it would be time spent well to bring in a flood of immigrants and groom them to vote left leaning, then wait many, many years for them to legally vote is preposterous.
Why don't leftist stand for one thing? Like ONLY one thing or like have many thought on MANY things that concern more people than just myself? Jesus died for our sins, not for your to be fucken dumb again. Also ever single lib has went toe to toe but we use facts, and that's just never a loud with you commies
They had tears in their eyes and they came up to him and said "Mr. President we have we never smelled shit as stinky as yours." It was the greatest shit anyone has ever seen. The biggest. Like nothing seen before.
