ROFL It would be interesting if the Satanic Church also decided to use the voucher program too, that would be the cherry on top. Sometimes protesting a dumb law is using it as intended.
Scientologists to, then when tax payers are funding all these religious private schools and seeing their taxes go up maybe they'll think public was better.
They probably still won’t understand what’s happening
TST might. Subverting theopolitical bullshit is kinda their jam.
This is true, I love what they've been doing to support abortion rights with clinics that have the most hilarious names; if they get their ball in the court, this Christian Nationalist Scheme will collapse.
It's really crazy how deep religion runs with people. It destroys their political stance, their morals, their empathy, their daily life, and the ability to grow.
I really hate how cult-like religion is and it only gets worse with time.
Religions. Are. Cults.
They are actually. Just. Cults.
Religion is based on delusions without evidence, and the beliefs and practices are harmful to both individuals and society.
Ergo there is little difference between being religious to other forms of metal diseases.
Edit:
-mental diseases 🤣
Lol hadn't noticed my typo.
I'm leaving it to not ruin the joke. 😋
...for about 4000 years humans have been on the cusp of something greater, yet some religious fucks keep holding us back because we have to build pyramids...
The religious outnumber, mainly due to cults know how to nab the average human. Mainly, talk loudly, act aggressive, play on common fears, and act like you have all the answers. It helps if you mention receiving them from a disembodied voice only you can hear, who speaks of doom and says you’re the prophet/savior.
I don’t think people understand the amount of coercion inherent in any religion, even the more mundane ones, unless they were in it and got out. I grew up in a liberal brand of Lutheranism I like to refer to as beer-drinking Christianity because it’s so harmless seeming. And yet looking back it was rife with the kinds of things experts would absolutely label brainwashing tactics. Of course under the guise of fun activities like church camps and such but that makes it all the more dangerous.
Historically not the best take. Early civilizations like Egypt relied on religion to create a social hierarchy. The Pharoah was believed to be divine and that is why they had the right to rule.
Even earlier in Mesopotamia those first city states operated on the same general idea. Religion seems to be an important part in forming early social hierarchy. You even see this in Aztec and Inca cultures.
So yeah to have complex organized societies it seems a few pyramids were necessary.
That being said now in the modern period religion isn't necessary, but it does seem to have been very important in the past to building complex society as we know it.
Malicious compliance, perhaps?
As predicted by everyone.
Very amusing but they'll just change the law to specify Christians and that will be that.
A judge interested in enforcing the constitution would rule that as unconstitutional and strike down the law. Separation of state and church. Government can't pass legislation that favors one religion over another. All it would take is a lawsuit.
Until that lawsuit hits the corrupt scotus with a literal handmaiden presiding, where they'll rule that while all religions are equal, some are more equal than others.
Islam will be worth 3/5 of Christianity
Can't wait for the Satanic Temple Primary School to apply for vouchers too
Join my SAT and Integrated Circuits design school! SAT-an-IC School
Well, religious people are stupid, republicans are stupid, people from Florida are stupid, so there's no way they were smart enough to think that their silly little vouchers would be used by anyone else
Because they're stupid.
