    This sort of anti-constitutional talk should get one disqualified from office, with the possible exception of if the talk is aimed at amending the constitution (as opposed to this, which is trying to make laws which directly violate the current constitution).

    Yeah, well I want you to go fuck yourself in the ass with a broken off broom handle. So, maybe it isn’t a good idea to use the government to make edicts based on people’s personal preferences.

    You gotta love how these types of people, who I assume have never actually read anything like the Constitution or even has it summarized for them using picture books to make it easier for them to understand.

    “Just like our great Founding Fathers intended”, probably. Cynical sociopathic bastards that republicans are.

    See, all these fuckers want to bring religion back and mix it with government because they think it’s their flavor that’ll win.

    Never do they think they’d be the ones suffering things like the Act of Uniformity 1558 or the Act of Supremacy 1558. Which is kind of the reason this nation wanted out of that business.

    They’re fooling themselves that all the various forms of Christianity will keep playing nicely with each other forever. They’re only playing nicely because of their enemy of the enemy thinking with secularism. Second that’s gone they’ll be at each other’s throat as history has consistently shown.

    Politicians like that often turn out to be closeted, disturbed gays at some point. Maybe it’s part of their cover up story that got way out of hand, idk.

        Furries are some of the kindest people out there. They raise massive amounts of money and items for charity; are generally very accepting and inclusive; and they are normally very talented and creative sewists too. Don’t lump them in. They’re misunderstood and bullied for it.

    god was never in this government, and this government was specifically founded to be separate from a concept of or obedience to any god. ur founding documents are very clear about this. if you disagree, you are, fundamentally, UNamerican, potentially a traitor—but on thing is clear: your “beliefs” can never trump the facts out founder laid out about what they believed, and it’s v=clearly that facts are paramount.

    if obedience to mythical belief is what you want, go elsewhere and found you own, new, separate country. the USA was founded on the beliefs of the Enlightenment: logic, facts, and democracy, as flawed as those ideals were in the 18th century. But the majority, at least, of our founding fathers knew well enough that magic and superstition were nothing more than fiction.

    "defenders of these bills say it’s a way to improve students’ mental health at a time when schools are understaffed when it comes to social workers and counselors. Inviting chaplains into schools, said one advocacy group, would give kids “a solid spiritual foundation and a safe space to express their pain and frustrations.”

    Or, you know, pay the teachers and social workers a comfortable wage so they all stop quitting

    You want to put religion in government? Start taxing. You want protestant chaplains in school, then all protestant churches get taxed. Lets see how many churches survive having to report their income. How many mega churches are gonna pay those million dollar tax bills every year? How many televangelists are going to relocate to the bahamas?
