“I am calling for clarifying legislation to be adopted in accordance with our State Constitution that prohibits satanic displays in our Capitol building and on all state owned property. I am calling for legislation to be adopted that makes it legal to display the Ten Commandments in our Capitol, in all buildings owned by the state, and in our public schools.”
That a single, continuous quote from a state representative. In two back-to-back sentences, they said that the religious display is unconstitutional and it should be legal to have a religious display. Amazing.
‘My religion is constitutional, yours is not.’ Not that amazing, just typical American Christian.
Christian Nationalists don’t think of this as our country. They think of it as their country.
Everything about them makes sense with that one axiom.
Every religion.
Some just have the power to enforce it.
Nah I’ve met some really decent Buddhists that don’t have much inclination to force their beliefs on you.
Have you lived in a Buddhist-majority country though?
I also know plenty of Muslims who don’t try to convert anybody. But I live in a non- Muslim majority country.
These idiots believe the “real” Constitution is actually the Bible.
And they’ve never read either document.
Only the Old Testament, but only the parts they project onto others. These troglodytes don’t realize that you can no more separate the devil and god than you can separate night from day.
Night and day are real, though.
Not the point.
Yes. It is. Fictional concepts can be separated (and clearly are, for some) and to blithely claim otherwise is to underestimate the power of stupid. So, don’t be ironic at your own expense.
If you insist on being pedantic, tell it like it is: you are your own god, and you are your own devil. That’s the point.
It’s less about being pedantic and more about maintaining vigilance against bullshit arguments from the religious: they can and will differentiate between their favorite comic book god-thing and the opponent created simply to mirror its deific status.
And they have not read either one
That right there is why the display was put up in the first place.
Bet that if someone destroyed the Christian display they’d be charged with a hate crime and not just criminal mischief.
Just imagine the fallout if someone beheaded a baby Jesus in a manger.
That’s a paddlin’
I think you mean desecrated
Yes, use their language against them
Yep, this is literally a religion-based hate crime. Hope they can get that kind of charge added. A slap on the wrist will only embolden people. They need real consequences.
Against a minority religion, to boot!
Why didn’t they show this scumbag’s mug shot like they do for black suspects?
Bree Newsome and that dude are not the same.
When will the Christian violence against other religions end?
/s but not /s
when we fight back. stop being limp-wristed liberals. we have his name. this isn’t rocket science.
“My conscience is held captive” is an oddly elegant way to put it.
“brainwashed idiot” is another
Doesn’t sound very elegant…De gustibus nil disputandum, eh?
self-fellating with latin insults and other erudite attempts at wit will only soothe your anger and frustration for so long, comrade. i gave up with that a while back, lol
but, hey, you do you
edit: if you think i’m judging your coping mechanisms, i’m not-- i drink and smoke weed. we all have something
It seems like you don’t think I’m funny
i said it was witty, although i may have buried the compliment in my own contempt for the whole exercise, but that has nothing to do with you personally.
sorry, i didn’t mean to be rude.
I didn’t notice. I was too busy finding myself amusing
you’re lucky that i’m not so jaded that i don’t still appreciate cuteness ;)
Vandalized after a Evangelical priest radicalized an idiot with an unhinged social media rant.
lets not forget about the string pullers, and don’t let them avoid blame for what the puppets do.
Nah, this guy is lying. REAL God just told me. I can do this all day.
You have to be right, because what he’s done is draw more attention to Satan.
All part of God’s plan
Lol he talks about the world trying to legitimize satan? Bitch your religion created satan!
These people, man.
Dude couldn’t leave it alone for 2 weeks, 10 working days. The duration of the permit to have the display there.
“held captive”
Interesting choice of words.
All according to plan.
hate crime all the way. imagine if this was a statue of jesus? they’d flip their fucking shit. donate to the gofundme to rebuild the display: https://www.gofundme.com/f/legal-fees-and-rebuilding
How long before he starts a go-fund me to pay his legal bills and starts a podcast to get the grift into high gear.
