So, I wonder, how are these Faithfools going to handle a situation where one them is convicted of Murder then, are they going to immediately apply the "Eye for an Eye, Tooth for a Tooth" bible ideology or suddenly jump up and scream out " Vengence is mine sayeth the Lord" and let the killer go about his/her merry way until the Sky Daddy gets around to enacting his never to happen Judgment day?
How are they intending to treat all those Paedo-Priests amongst their flocks?
Will they simply follow along with the bible adage of " If thine nose, etc, offends thee, then cut it off," or in the case of a Paedo-Priest will it be HIS offending 'member?"
Are they going to follow fully the teaching of their Christ, Messiah and foresake all their worldly goods and chattels, no longer seek personal wealth/riches and possessions thus just becoming penniless beggars wandering around the country preaching, I don't think so, they merely do their usual and 'Cherry-pick' what suits their purposes imho.

There goes your 'amendments'!

Are you referring, in part, to abortion and euthanasia?

Euthanasia is one topic that is of considerable interest to me, since I'm getting old and have had a couple of medical problems lately.

I don't see it. How so? Which scriptures into what law?

I agree with you entirely and this really scares me. I am so disheartened by the way fundamentalist thinking is taking over our politics.

They have to do this to claim their "Christian Nation" belief. They believe that old "thou shalt have no other gods before me" gave us rules and law. Without him we would have nothing. It never occurs to them that he was a tribal god.

Yes, unfortunately this is so, however they are not interested in scriptures or beliefs or following Jesus. They are only interested in money and power.

It is not surprising at all. The writing has been on the wall on that one for a while now. They may end destroying the country if unchecked. They got a foot in the door imposing 45 on us. Now they have hundreds of conservative judges on the benches, and they are now mounting legal challenges to all the progressive causes gained during the last 60 years. They are serious about it and most likely they will win because we have not been serious about stopping them.

Not exactly a news flash. I've observed it all my life. It differs little from ideological fanatics trying to also change our laws and governing documents to be more aligned with their notions that government should be large and centralized. Right has it's Christian fanatics and the Left, their Socialist/Communist wing-nuts. Neither deserves the kind of government that allows their meddling.

The Constitution, if followed SECULARLY, provides for expanding protections of liberties and protections of citizens via rational, constitutionally balanced state and local laws.

They have always held those desires but never this much concerted power. We are in trouble.

This country is under attack from within by the Republican/Evangelical right who are trying to undo democracy and the Constitution and replace it with a combined authoritarian-theocracy.They want to unmake the country the Founding Fathers established and remake it into a conservative Shangri-La.

This is what the blind adoration of Trump and Jesus gets you.

Not all conservatives are Christian or even Christian. Many libertarians are atheists. Also, there is a large and growing number of those that are non religious and even liberal religious. The minister (a woman) of the church tRump went to with the %*&@# bible did not like it and gave a talk on NPR about how it did not represent true Christianity. There will be a big battle and if the Republicans lose the senate it will not happen. If the senate is won they will dump tRump and probably rescind all his 'executive orders.' We need to remember fundamentalist christians [sic] are a real minority.

That is what happens when religion co-mingles with politics. The co-mingling defiles both.

That’s fine. I tend to want to inact laws that are in line with my non-belief. Is it so different?

Its a great book for child care tips.

Greatly exaggerated as usual. With church membership in decline, I don’t think we need to worry about a Christian theocracy.

And there’s that continual equating of the religious right with Evangelicals. The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest evangelical group, and it specifically endorses the separation of church and state. A Pew poll shows that only 11% of evangelicals are “Christian Conservatives”.

I see that the article comes from the UK. They should know all about religious government since there is no separation there

They've been doing it for years..since "prayer" was taken out of public school..

Christians are the worst zealots in the world
they think they can tell us all how to live and this has been a getting worse
Trump has allowed the lines to blur
the tax scam allows churches not only to keep their tax free status while telling parishioners how to vote now but it allows churches to launder money to any campaign anonymously(illegal under our constitution)
Cruz allowed churches to receive tax dollars to rebuild after hurricanes(illegal)
Barr.....barr is a total wack job and who knows what he has been doing behind the scenes

This is a slope I fear we've been sliding down for some time now. If you've ever wondered why in the bloody hell anyone who purports to be a Christian would support someone like Donald Trump, it lies in the power he has to push them through the door. It's a game of "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours," they both pretty much want the same end game. Sigh.
