“We don't need separation of faith and politics. We don't need separation of church and state."

Yeah, yeah you do.

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.

Only an asshole trying to fist fuck God into politics would say something so stupid

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.

We need separation of these idiots from the halls of power.

Pay yo taxes then.

I don’t want your Republican Jesus.

Uproot religion!

This means their religion is now of political concern. They forfeit their protections in doing this

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.

Wonder if he'd still feel that way, if there were ever a Muslim running for president? Probably become a 1st amendment absolutist, at that point.
