They would have really been scared of the people that started this country.

In contrast, Biden has highlighted his faith. “Kennedy was more a Catholic, in the background, whereas it’s very much in the forefront of President Biden’s life,” says Drew Christiansen, a Jesuit priest and Georgetown University professor.


Well it is a useful tool when needed..................

This dumb because they use the word “force”. Lefties always say “Christian’s want to FORCE it on me”. What they really mean is “I want to be free from ever HEARING about Christianity’.

Putting up 10 Commandments in school isn’t FORCING anything on anyone. You cannot FORCE somebody to be a Christian.

What they need is a good example of FORCE, like a Muslim putting a blade to your throat and saying “convert or die”. THAT is FORCE.

The other absurdity, they demonstrate a clear lack of understanding of the role of religion and the resulting concept of ‘good’ in a culture - which ends up defining your LAW. If it weren’t for Christianity, our country as we know it, as this liberal idiot knows it, would not exist...but has no understanding of the roots he’s trying to rip form it.

Judeo-Christian ? It’s just Christian.

"Judeo-Christian" is another way of saying the Law and the Gospel, which are the two sides of the coin of salvation.

Plus there were a massive number of Jews who came to America for the same reason the Christians came, and who fought for a moral and religious society with a free republic (where have we heard that phrase before?), something that cannot be said of any other religion that has been brought here over the centuries.

>NY times spewing their Marxist dnc newest talking point

And their oldest. They started out degrading Christian values by this tactic, and promptly forgot it whenever the religion making demands was pagan, Muhammedan, wokist, or anything *other* than Christian.

Now that their religion of dirt-worship and communism is losing ground, they go back to the prior attack.

As a counterpoint to this person’s opinions, here is a nice 4th of July sermon from Adrian Rogers about America’s Judeo-Christian heritage:

The Only Hope for America

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- from the Declaration of Independence.

Now where do those unalienable rights come from? From the NYT opinion page?

Have you noticed liberals have evolved in the past decade or so and look a certain way? One can spot a liberal simply by how they look, their facial structure, hair, the eyes, etc. It did not use to be this way - it was not that easy to tell the difference between liberal and conservative women in the 1970s or 1980s.

It's probably due to their diet. Liberals are more likely to be vegans.

So it’s okay to teach children about the Koran, but not the Christian Bible or the Hebrew Bible?
The regime running this country isn’t worried about the Muslim religion because they are both satanic. And they certainly don’t mind having Hamas views forced on children.
Jews and Christians cannot be brainwashed. That is why the regime hates us. The regime currently running this country is not and never will be our god.
The regime knows this and they hate it.

Huh? Why would they want to? They have their own religion to follow. And why "should" everyone else want to, either? You are totally and irrationally "JCCentric".

She should trying understanding the Bible rather than spewing misunderstanding of it. Likewise, she should try understanding what Christians believe and teach rather than making up her own dark fantasies and lying and slandering them. Needless to say no one is talking about stoning disobedient children (etc.) in sermons on Sunday morning.

These people claim to be opposing fascism, but these sorts of smears are the same sort of things other fascists used against Jews and other dissidents. The opponents are then censored and deplatformed so they cannot offer corrections to the lies they face. Pamela, you are a very good example of a fascist in action.

Gentiles are grafted in to the Jewish Olive Tree of YESHUA, but the natural branches will be cast out, if not grafted in to the Olive Tree of YESHUA.

“On June 19, Gov. Jeff Landry of Louisiana signed legislation requiring public classrooms to display the Ten Commandments”

Costing his state taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not a few million in legal time/fees/fines.

“Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s superintendent of public instruction, announced plans to mandate teaching the Bible in public schools.”

Costing his state taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not a few million in legal time/fees/fines.

All I can figure is that they are stupid. Well meaning, but stupid.
