We all have our own views on separation of church and state. Some people think that the Constitution simply forbids the establishment of a Church of America. Others hold that any hint of religious principle must be excluded from the public arena. Where does Senator Bernie Sanders stand, and how does it affect his official actions?
Although I am by no means an expert in matters of religion, based on a recent Senate hearing, I think I know enough to assert that Senator Sanders knows just enough about Christian doctrine (and in my opinion, about any religion, including his own) to be dangerous, both to others and to himself. He recently put his ignorance on public display in a confirmation process.
Russell Vought is the nominee for the post of Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget. He is an openly declared Christian. Does that make him unfit, or ineligible, to serve?
Bernie Sanders seems to think so. In a recent Senate hearing, Sanders was openly hostile in his questioning of Vought. In my layman’s opinion, he went far beyond the bounds of the law in doing so.
The Constitution is clear on two points regarding the mixing of religion and politics. It states that, “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust. . .” and, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” [Respectively, Article VI and Amendment 1]
One might think that that would settle the matter, but for progressive liberals (i.e. socialists, Marxists and their fellow travelers) it does not.

Is this a trick question because I think the answer is rather obvious.
Is Bernie Sanders going to hell??
He plays an important part! It wouldn’t BE hell without his 1970s style progressive speeches!!
The author ends his article with the following sentence:
P.S. I look forward to greeting Bernie in Heaven.
Is Bernie interested in walking with God for eternity? Does that even appeal to him?
Bernie Sanders is actually providing a useful lesson of what Hell is really like.
His vitriolic language and obvious hatred for decent citizens of all faiths has an upside. We will try harder to follow our God given Christian upbringing in order to stay vigilant and out of hell.
Really? All you have to do is see how he badgered Russell Vought for his Christian Faith last week during his nomination hearing.
Hell hath no fury like a god-hating liberal.
Christianity is not about heaven vs hell. It is about eternal life vs death.
Will Bernie receive eternal life? I don’t know. Does he have much to be forgiven for? No doubt. Just like me. Just like all of us.
Yes. And the sooner, the better.
Is Bernie Sanders Going to Hell?
= = =
Well, he does go to the Senate.
He’s going to “feel the Bern”!
The narcissist Left masquerades as an angel to deceive others in who they are. They become ‘complete militant atheists’ who fill the ranks of the Left, posing as the humanists, the friends of the underclass and the champions of every minority faction real and imagined. The truth is, they are out for their own selfish power. When you remove their masks, they are false humanitarians who are as sick as the ISIS Islamo-fascists that hold up real heads and torture innocent human beings for the hate addiction that comes from their false gods. Their hate addiction has drove them to the edge of the cliff and like Kathy Griffin, are slipping off and are in free fall. They are falling down as they are yelling out their demonic words:
Who first seduc’d them to that foul revolt?
Th’ infernal Serpent; he it was, whose guile
Stird up with Envy and Revenge, deceiv’d
The Mother of Mankind, what time his Pride
Had cast him out from Heav’n, with all his Host
Of Rebel Angels, by whose aid aspiring
To set himself in Glory above his Peers,
He trusted to have equal’d the most High,
If he oppos’d; and with ambitious aim
Against the Throne and Monarchy of God
Rais’d impious War in Heav’n and Battel proud
With vain attempt. Him the Almighty Power
Hurld headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie
With hideous ruine and combustion down
To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
Who durst defie th’ Omnipotent to Arms.
He’ll be Harry Reed’s favorite rump-tool in the Lake of Fire. Feel the Burn, Bern! LOL

I don’t get to decide and neither does anyone else but I guess we can render an opinion which carries no weight up there. I understand he’s an atheist so maybe that has settled the matter regardless.
He’s REJOINING the Democrat Party? I had not heard that!
Not if he accepts Christ as his Savior.
Apart from faith in Christ anyone will go to Hell.
In some respects he has.
Kind of depends on how you are using the word.
In other ways, unless he accepts Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of his sins then like all the rest of mankind, yes, he is going there.
I think he's in a heated race with Bergoglio. Let's pray that they both drop out.
