#the 1st amendment

“2+2=jesus and if you disagree with that you are discriminating against my religion…”

What’s next? Don’t worry about your insulin, or blood pressure meds, just pray your diabetes and high blood pressure away….

Heck! I got an idea!! Since Jesus is the answer not science, let’s just get rid of hospitals and make them into mega churches!

This girl got an F because she didn’t follow the assignment. The assignment wasn’t, ‘what is your faith belief on this topic.

This religious abuse on these children runs deep. Manipulated since birth to believe the earth was made in 7 days, that a woman was made from a man’s rib, that a man lived in a wale for a period of time. These are all great stories but do not reflect reality or any science based practices.

We have freedom of religion in this country. We also have e freedom from religion in this country. When I go to the doctor I want science based treatment, not some theological nonsense.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

here's an email i just sent her;

"Age verification is an act of genocide

it has been found that free and open access to the internet and ability to build community on it is vital to the mental and social well being of youth from marginalized communities. particularly for queer and trans youth, and that having said communities drastically reduces rates of suicide and helps young people of all communities to be able to identify abuse in their day to day lives and find vital informational and support resources as well. if you do not repeal your attempts to age gate and censor the net you will have their blood on your hands."

Just remember kids! If you don’t know the answer to something, just vaguely express your religious beliefs then call TP (toilet paper) USA and get the teacher fired.

2+2=god, and if you disagree, it’s religious discrimination….

“Oh ‘my’ God” is right….

I’ve tried. Pardon the upcoming pun but, my lord I’ve tied. I’ve tried to correlate the Christian teachings from my youth to the current ones. I’ve tried to equate the similarities between the values I was taught as a kid to what the Christian right states its values to be. I’ve tried to have tolerance for that which I cannot relate, and use the teachings of Christ to find middle ground with the theocratic Christians so prevalent in politics today. And I can’t. I simply can’t.

They have strayed SO FAR from the moral, guidance, and overall values of that the book they claim to adhere to.

I’ve read the bible, probably more than once, but I left the church long ago, mainly due to their stance on homosexuality, and the stifling hypocrisy.

The Christian right has infiltrated top positions of government. A government which was founded on the concept that religion was to be practiced freely without fear of reprise for doing so, and not to be dictated or to be guiding principle in governing. It’s very clearly spelled out in the first amendment. In fact it’s the first words in the first amendment, the first rights of American citizens in what can be called the Bill of Rights.

Now! Now things have gotten so saturated with religion that the lines differentiating church from state are severely blurred. The problem is that the religious doctrine being executed is not that of love thy neighbor, it is not that of be kind to the immigrant, it is not that of bear no false witness (lying), it is not that of do not steal, it is not that of even do not worship false idols.

It is that of hatred, the entitled judgement of others, a self fulfilling prophecy of preparing for the rapture, stealing from the poor to give to the rich, denying healthcare for the sick, the idolization of money, the discrimination of immigrants, these are the actions of the modern evangelical Christian movement.

Hypocrisy is the doctrine that seems to motivate their agenda.

It is a mental illness to think “god” told you that you are Moses, like Mike Johnson. It’s a mental disorder to show reckless abandon for life in pursuit of “the second coming of Christ”, it is a sickness to believe only your beliefs, only your perspective, only your way is the right way.

They try and say being trans is a mental illness, I don’t see any trans people disregarding human life in the hopes of everlasting life. I don’t see gay people pushing an agenda from a book that says the world was created in 7 days, that a man was swallowed by a wale then was just fine days later, that the Red Sea was parted, that we are descendants of just 2 people, then using that mythology to push a narrative of hate and oppression.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” the first words in the first amendment to the Constitution.
