How about go fuck yourself.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 121 points 1 month ago

As if the fucking Christian indoctrination wasn't already bad enough here.

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 month ago

No. It's the woke that was doing the indoctrination.

Now, against the wall so we can inspect your purity.

[-] entwine413@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

You haven't seen anything yet. They're trying to build their own Saudi Arabia.

With just half of the cards and only one ugly male hooker called Krasnov.

[-] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 3 points 1 month ago

There is hope that the backlash from this will be brutal. It will take half a generation to get here. But overall Christianity is not gaining more net followers, especially not the asshole flavors that so vocally seem to represent it.

Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday establishing a “religious liberty commission” at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and present strategies to eliminate “threats to domestic religious liberty.” During his comments on the order, Trump said that he doesn’t know if there’s a separation of church and state and that we should “forget about that for one time.”

Words alone simply fail to adequately describe my disgust and rage at this travesty.

Time to get to work Satanic Temple.

I'm all for the separation of Trump's head and body.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

They'll be all about "forgetting" about that separation, all the way up until someone opens Beezlebubs Intermediate School of the Damned - then they'll be up in arms again.

[-] BussyCat@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

By uniting church and state they can claim that “beezlebubs intermediate School of the Damned” goes against the official religious doctrine so it is banned but “holy Christ of the saints of Peter school for conservative belief” is allowed and gets taxpayer dollars

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

What's that? Did I hear somebody say Beelzebub's Advanced Rifle Academy?

[-] nectar45@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 month ago

But you dont even follow the teachings of Christ?

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

The man should be investigated first for the most flagrant violations. I don't know if holding a bible upside-down counts, but we can go on from there.

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago

I cannot respect any "Christian" that voted for Trump. Least Christ like person on the planet, quite possibly.

[-] AngrySquirrel@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Oh lovely, a christian theocracy. How long before they start talking about having morality police?

[-] Daggity@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

Well okay, trump is an adulterer and we have clear instructions about what we need to do about that.

[-] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I'm gonna teach about how church molests everything it touches. I'm going to teach how religion uses "peace and love" as a rouse to get you to trust them, like a predator. I encourage the state to do this

[-] Inaminate_Carbon_Rod@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Christian here.

Trump can fuck all the way off with that bullshit.

[-] Balthazar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

The separation of church and state protects the church from the state at least as much as the state from the church. Christians should fear a "Christian" state.

[-] Australis13@fedia.io 8 points 1 month ago

This. All the Christians that support a theocracy need to stop and realise that there's no guarantee that their particular denomination is going to be the one running said theocracy. The whole concept of freedom of religion depends on the separation of church and state.

[-] dzso@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Your religion is rotten. I judge it by its fruit.

What happens when you're the wrong version of Christianity? That's a paddlin..

[-] Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Something I'm confused about: if Republicans believe government policy should be based on Christian values, why are they against government programs helping the poor?

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

-President Trump, just this year.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He never meant it. And all of the cons hate ACTUAL freedom. Meaning, the kind of freedom that includes freedom FROM religion. Not just the "freedom" to select from a set of talibangelical cults.

Maybe HE should worry about the separation of his head from his body.

[-] MyNamesTotallyRobert@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Christianity has done more harm to modern society than drugs ever could

The people who claim that America is a "Christian" nation don't ever read anything about the values the founders had. Most of them followed a deist philosophy.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

And Thomas Jefferson went out of his way to emphasis the separation of church and state.

Sooner forget about the separation of his head from his shoulders but that ain't happening either

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Let's just forget about the right to bear arms

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe after religion has been abolished.

Donny, you’re out of your element.
