LINK CHURCH & STATE | The Kavanaugh Nomination: How Screwed Are We? - TheHumanist.com

FTA: Our nation will need separation of church and state more than ever in the years to come. There’s never a good time to undermine that principle, but this is certainly one of the worst. As 325 million people struggle to live side by side—people who practice a variety of religions and some who practice none—only the separation principle can protect the rights of all.

The alternative is a form of religious supremacy, a society where some people have more rights than others, by dint of their faith. That’s unacceptable. It’s a recipe for conflict, tension, and division. Yet, thanks to Trump’s desire to appease his religious right base, it’s where we may be headed.

Look at it as the death throes of religion. The religious right is offending young people so much that in 10-20 years those nutcases will have no power at all.

Just like they did with gay marriage.

Level 5

**I for one don't care at all if and when others have religious stuff - Christmas trees, manger scenes, Jewish decorations - to me, none of it matters anyway so what the heck ? I don't agree that public should be spent on religious stuff but again, its not that much so, what the heck ? In the end, it doesn't matter. They are not going to go to any heaven and I am not going to any hell. I often wonder why anybody cares. I am surprised already that the strong Christian element in this country has not been able to stop the porn, vulgar rap, drugs, and so on . Guess they are not as strong as I though they were. I don't need '' my rights '' protected. They already are protected, by me, by my mind and thoughts. I am not offended to see a Jesus desplay - so what ? Doesn't have a thing to do with me so it just does not matter.

We really need to prevent Kavanaugh's confirmation!

Level 8

I read there is no way to stop him from becoming a SC Justice. That democrat from Georgia is rumored to vote yes for him too along with Manchin from WV. The religious fundamentalists will have their supreme Supreme Court.

We are beyond screwed.
We're SO beyond screwed, that it would take the
light from 'screwed' 25 billion light years to reach us.

We would have been screwed big time had Hillary been elected.

@Trajan61 That's a lie. You can go ahead and continue to believe it. But, it's still a lie.

@KKGator Your the idiot that’s living a lie. Some people like us conservatives live in the real world. You liberals on the other hand live in a dream world.

@Trajan61 Whatever. You believe all sorts of wrong stuff. Calling me an "idiot" and a "liberal" means nothing to me. Especially since I'm not either. Same for saying that "conservatives live in the real world". If that's what you believe, then it's clear that you do not.
The world is not divided into liberals and conservatives. It's not an "either/or" proposition. There are other people, more people actually, who prefer middle ground. Extremes are rarely ever a good idea.
You can come at me any way you please. It really doesn't matter. What you think of me doesn't matter. You've made it clear to anyone paying attention that you have no idea what you're talking about. So, rant on if it makes you feel better.
45 is a traitor, and you still support a traitor.
Just because you are incapable of accepting facts about the traitor you're choosing to support, means nothing to me. Neither does your opinion of me.
Go have an aneurysm somewhere else.

@KKGator If you favor Obama and Hillary over Trump you are definitely a liberal whether you admit it or not.

@Trajan61 See? There you go again with your "either/or" bullshit. 45 has been a lying sack of shit for over 40 years. It has nothing to do with Clinton or Obama. It's ALL about what a scumbag 45 is. No one else.

@KKGator Obama and Hillary were scumbags. Hell the 4 liberal judges on the US Supreme Court are scumbags. You might as well get used to Trump because he will be re-elected in 2020 so he’s going to be around for awhile.

@Trajan61 Blah, blah, blah. You have NO idea who your boy is.

Time for a revolution. Stop paying your taxes people. Money talks the loudest to these assholes.

Now that Trump is president there’s hope for America. With Hillary we would have been screwed.
