“We don’t need separation of faith and politics. We don’t need separation of church and state."
Yeah, yeah you do.
I bet he wants separation of church and state for every religion except one.
Gotta narrow it down more than that. Can’t let Catholics or Mormons slide in on the lawmaking either!
Protestant too broad; only this singular evangelical church will be allowed!
Those who established that separation had lived in a world without it and knew how it negatively affected both the government and the religions. Saying it’s not needed shows a combination of ignorance of history and a desire to be the one religious group who gains power over others.
Yes, the founders knew of what they spoke, since The Inquisition was still ongoing in their lifetimes.
There is no way they set up this country as a secular country by accident. Or didn’t mention Jesus once in the Constitution as some kind of “oversight”, and actually really meant to imply this was a xtian nation, even if the Treaty of Tripoli later spells it out that we are not a xtian nation…
These fucking morons forget that the primary, actual, material reason that the Founding Fathers did the whole… seperation of church and state thing?
Yeah, yeah, it was to prevent the myriad groups of extremist sects of Christianity that comprised the early US… from fucking oppressing and killing each other, via the government.
Remove that seperation, and within half a decade we will literally have Y’all Qaedas for each fucking cult and denomination fire bombing each other, doing mass sectarian violence amongst themselves and those they all view as heretics.
I guess it will be funny(?) if we end up with the Mormon War, round 2.
Only an asshole trying to fist fuck God into politics would say something so stupid
We need separation of these idiots from the halls of power.
Pay yo taxes then.
Uproot religion!
I don’t want your Republican Jesus.
This means their religion is now of political concern. They forfeit their protections in doing this
Explaining to Ayatollah Khomemi that he’s going to be hoisted on his own petard
Which of the 100s of churches? 😂
Anyhow, religion should be so far away from the state that even God can’t see the nation…
There are approximately 45,000 denominations of xtianity. Even if there were only 45 and not 45 THOUSAND, it would still be a helluva thing to try to figure out why any of the 45 is the right church that should rule over our secular country.

I think what this indicates is that he doesn’t comprehend what “separation” means in this context. Or “church” for that matter.
Would he really have no issues with the Pope ruling the US by papal decree? Or the king of England (the leader of the Anglican/Episcopalian church)?
Did they forget that every time a king changed the kingdom’s religion it was convert or die?
Ima run for senate and make the state religion Satanism
Twatley can blow it out his ass.
