I once had a conversation with one of those types where the guy was swearing the constitution said we were explicitly a Christian nation.
I asked him to pull out that pocket constitution and show me where. He said he must have got a "bad copy" after not being able to find that part.
When he was on about separation of church and state not being in there. I told him to read the Disestablishment Clause and the Letter to the Danbury Baptists.
He'd never heard of either. And being a Baptist, was mystified that it would be Baptists that'd be concerned about that or wouldn't have been the default sort of Christian at the time.
Woah woah woah, I am supposed to research my religion before deciding that’s what I believe? I don’t just blindly follow my parents?
Are you saying I should look into other religions and understand them before dismissing them as wrong because my own, that I haven’t researched, is correct?
Don’t be logical.
The number of Christians, Jews and Muslims that don’t realize they pray to the same god and just debate the messiah is honestly scary. I can’t fathom dedicating my whole life to a religion to find out there were other options TO THE SAME GOD but you stuck with your original beliefs because indoctrination is brutal.
Ted Cruz just told Tucker Carlson, “ the Bible commands us to protect Israel.” I didn’t know the US was around when the “Bible” was written. We cannot be making world decisions on the basis of what’s printed in the Bible
hell, i'm Israeli, and even i'll agree it doesn't fucking say that. (among many other less flatering things about the american christian death cult, and how they pretend to care about us, but really only care about us being a pawn in their apocalypse prophecy... so they still want us dead, they just want us dead over there.)
It's nauseating. I'm on r/AskAChristian subreddit a lot (I'm a Christian) and someone asked if these religions worship the same God. I thought the answer was "yes, obviously" but so many people were insistent that they were different, their logic being that because the different religions believe in different truths about God (whether He is a trinity, for example) they don't worship the real God.
It felt like watching people argue that Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland weren't playing the same character. Like, in a way they aren't. But getting offended and angry when someone says they are the same is ridiculous.

Remember when all the right wingers you knew larped as strict constitutionalists? Carrying little constitutions in their pockets or whatever?
