Why is that infuriating? I'm not religious, but why would this not be allowed?

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 2 weeks ago

They're praying to pass a bill that kicks 15 million off health care and starves children so a handful of billionaires pay less tax.
That's what Jesus would do.

These people should be more holey

[-] 3migo@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

Separation of church and state is supposed to be a thing. Lawmakers praying inside the chamber isn't separate at all.

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

If André Carson, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Lateefah Simon all prayed together in the House at one of the 5 daily prayers, during a vote, would the USA shrug?

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, it'd be another 911 to the R tards and they'd scream about it like bitchy toddlers from every podium they could find

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Actually not surprising at all

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

That's not what that means. Separation of church and state simply means that the law doesn't favor one religion over another. What you're thinking of is the French formulation, known as laicite, which—you guessed it—is a French thing. It's also based on some pretty problematic ideas that lead and have led to some pretty problematic results, so yeah.

For a non-French example, he's the Australian constitution on the topic:

The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.

Nothing at all about lawmakers publicly adhering to a religion.

They are jackass.

But this is as educated as screaming first amendment when a mod removes a post. Wow.

[-] FriendOfDeSoto@startrek.website 9 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's because these are people with the power to do more than thoughts and prayers. But they just stick with that while also taking health care off veterans and giving tax breaks to the rich.

[-] XTL@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's the power. They're doing more.

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

How would most people react if that was a group of Muslims? Or if the Satanic Church tried to do a small prayer there?

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Most would be fine with it. It's done often and both parties shit on someone last month for taking issue with it.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

I wouldn't care. If they're religious they'll be following the morals and views of their religion. A little praying won't change or harm anyone. No different to another group having a chat

[-] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 weeks ago

We knew you were concern trolling. Thanks for confirming though.

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

We now know you will just shoot down any alternative opinion and pretend it is trolling. Thanks for confirming.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago
