There's nothing quite as terrifying to The Left as a Bible-believing Christian who is willing to live out the tenets of his faith in public life.

    We’re 2 deaths away from this man replacing the constitution with the 10 commandments.

      Every president has been Christian. Hell, I bet you could find instances of most of them quoting the bible. None of them tried that.

      Why would that change now?

    Soooo…. We just going to pretend that separation of church and state is still a thing right? Because if we dismiss that, than the 2ndA is fair game.

        The establishment clause does not call for a separation of church and state

        Takes less than 10 seconds of googling to find out this is false:

        By it, the federal government of the United States and, by later extension, the governments of all U.S. states and U.S. territories, are prohibited from establishing or sponsoring religion

        The Establishment Clause is a limitation placed upon the United States Congress preventing it from passing legislation establishing an official religion, and by interpretation making it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. The Free Exercise Clause prohibits the government from preventing the free exercise of religion. While the Establishment Clause does prohibit Congress from preferring one religion over another, it does not prohibit the government’s involvement with religion to make accommodations for religious observances and practices in order to achieve the purposes of the Free Exercise Clause.

        At least do a basic search on a topic before you misinform others.

        The founding fathers never intended a complete separation.

        Are you stupid?

            Make an argument with a person that more than likely thinks that the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause are Santa’s origin story and a non-profit cardio fitness program he created to stay fit during the slow months?

            Impossible!

                Separation of church and state was part of the origin story of America, that states were violating it since- doesn’t unwrite the constitution.

                This isn’t about how much you can say to sound like you know what you’re talking about- it’s about the simple fact that separation of church and state was there from the beginning.

    Here’s some more language that the Christians in the room should understand: wolf in sheep’s clothing.
