How about go fuck yourself.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 121 points 10 months ago

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

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 30 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

hope this project 2025 is as successful as his casinos

[-] jeffw@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

It’s already more successful

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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] nectar45@lemmy.zip 21 points 10 months ago

But you dont even follow the teachings of Christ?

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] AngrySquirrel@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Daggity@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

Christian here.

Trump can fuck all the way off with that bullshit.

[-] Balthazar@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[-] cyphear@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

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 10 months 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 10 months ago

Let's just forget about the right to bear arms

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Maybe after religion has been abolished.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Donny, you’re out of your element.
