With religion so long ingrained into society, religious words are often seen to be just traditional words.
Once we made human sacrifices to appease the gods; now, we’re told, we must do the same to appease the markets. A country cannot be a world leader if its government is failing its people. This is what happens when an administration spends years attacking Science in the name of religion or when those in positions of power cause division.
Many Christians think that because they believe in an imaginary god that they can ignore the rights of those of us that do not. Going to church does not make you a good believer. Jerry Falwell can’t fall quickly enough.
In Florida going to Church is deemed an essential service. It is not a service. It is a business.
It has got to the stage where Anthony Fauci is facing threats to his personal safety.
A new study of Christian Nationalism in Texas should be given serious consideration. The FFRF protests Mike Pence’s appeal for church contributions.

“we consider the inclusion of similar words to be a ceremonial, longstanding practice as an optional means of completing an oath.”
This excuse continues to prevent America from progressing…
Folks like Patrick and Trump can sacrifice themselves and the nation would be better off for it. Natural selection at its finest. Something tells me Patrick would redact that statement if he had to chose who got the ventilator…
If Trump wants an American resurrection, perhaps we could go all out and make it a full reenactment…Anyone have a cross that can bear 250?
“All those people you’re leading to Hell? You’ll go to Hell with them, and there’s gonna be weeping and gnashing of teeth, and they’re going to be looking at you for eternity, in a separated compartment, underneath this planet, and saying, “You got me here. You convinced me of this. You lied to me.”
