Never trust a politician who tells you how to pray; or a pastor who tells you how to vote!

This is exactly why religion and government should never, ever be mixed.

I feel so sorry for the next generation of children in America, they are going to need alot more help to survive.

I grew up as a white kid in apartheid South Africa, where the (segregated) school system was officially labelled "CNE" or "Christian National Education". The whole apartheid phenomenon was justified through the Christian churches. Is the USA seriously going down that discredited road??? I despair...

[philgroves]

Nope. I would definitely not refer to those folks as Christians. Not at all. Cruel, inhuman, sadistic religious zealots of some form - but absolutely NOT Christians.

Real believers in God do not believe they are better than anyone else, but hypocrites do.

And these people show exactly why you shouldn't mix church and state

Let us not forget the New Testament quote, "Not everyone who cries 'Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven...". Matthew 7:21

Would someone please tell these Christian Nationalists that the 'Pilgrims' left Europe, and came to this country seeking religious freedom. Christian Nationalism, was what the Pilgrims were fleeing

[Michael-ezzg]

The most pretentious, deplorable, heinous, hateful, hypocritical, corrupt, and perverse of individuals, often hide beneath the cloak of religious self-righteousness. Projecting and concealing their true identity.

For one thing, it means screaming the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the Bible says on almost every issue.

We live in a Democracy, not a Theocracy. I do not like many of their views and do not wish to have them inflicted on myself and others. I thought that's what we stood for.

This is the bullshit that made me leave church back in 2001. It’s only gotten worse

I'm glad I'm old now and lived my youth in the 70's and 80's, all we had to worry about was paying the light bill. And it was a great time!!!

Theist: What’s your religion?

Me: Non-delusional.

We should no longer say "this is not who we are as Americans, " when it is now a mainstream idea, not a fringe one.
This IS who America is becoming, and a lot of Americans have become.
