Theoretically, the first amendment puts God and satan on equal footing, which is absurd. The US Constitution must explicitly state that Jesus Christ is King and Christianity is the Official Religion. Other religions can be tolerated but must be subordinate. And stupid religions like freemasonry, islam, judaism, and wicca should be criminalized.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Federal government cannot outlaw Christianity or satanism, and it cannot promote Christianity or satanism. Fed is, in theory, supposed to treat these as the same ... which is stupid. Why would you allow an evil thing like this to exist? The people are clearly stupid enough to fall for it, and those who realize what's going on are very limited in their powers to turn the tide. The Federal government needs to be expressly and explicitly Christian, at least profess Christ to be King and Lord. None of this freemasonic, liberalism religious freedom TRASH.
This is flawed logic. First amendment is about expressing opinions.
The reason why US is a country based on God's laws is because it derives its status as a sovereign nation based on the Declaration of Independance, which explictly states:
And everything else, including the Constitution is derived under this.
The reason why Satanism is running rampant is because Satanists are banking on the fact that people have forgotten where their powers come from, and have forgotten the fact that the government works for them, and the purpose of the constitution is to limit the powers of the government and that they can take back control any moment if they all understand this.
What you are alluding to is a Christian fundamentalist nation - which is not what people want and will never happen. There will always be freedom of speech. When the people are smart and knowledgable about their world, they dont have to fear being exposed to any ideas - not even Satanic ideas - because as soon as they hear the words they will know its not God's words and they can reject those words.
Federal government cannot outlaw satanism (or Christianity) and puts them on equal footing. In practice the satanic deepstate and banking class will outlaw Christianity on bogus hate speech grounds.
If you think you need to outlaw satanism to keep the world safe, then you are missing the whole point of Great Awakening. Its about waking up the world and letting them learn the truth about Satanism and taking back power.
If you think that "equal footing" is only about being able to outlaw one religion or another, then you are missing my point about how the US derives its sovereignty based on God's law. I would suggest re-reading the declaration of independance carefully.
Which means allowing satanism legal standing and to run rampant.
Explain to me how first amendment makes sacrificing kids have legal standing?
SCOTUS used roe v. wade to interpret constitution as having the right to "privacy" which apparently covered abortions. Thank God it was overturned, but 60 million dead babies too late.
Bad interpretation of constitution does not mean the constitution itself is bad.
So...first Jesus and God don't force people to worship. YOU HAVE FREE WILL. AND SO THE CONSTITUION MIRRORS THIS!
Sounds pretty kingy to me
You kind of prove the opposite you think you are proving; render unto Caesar etc is direct from Christ, you're quoting end times when He returns and establishes ultimate authority. He never said kill all non-believers or anything near that, but hey Quakers and Puritans we're cool with torturing, maiming, murdering other Christians who didn't agree, so maybe you're with them? Anyway, you've got a false dichotomy going- Congress and administrations aren't stopped from promoting Christianity, they just can't mandate it. It's been the commie takeover of the government indoctrination daycare centers that put into place 'lawyers' and 'judges' that have purposely misinterpreted the law to allow separation from God, and our collective complacency that allowed it to happen.
Wrong. Freedom of Religion (1st Amendment) is directed AT the Gov. to prevent Gov./s from 'controlling' religion. Ironically All of the Bill of Rights are absolute restrictions On the Gov.
Christianity and satanism are on equal footing. Federal government cannot outlaw either or make Christ supreme over satan.
That's. Not. Their. Job.
If you feel that you need a law to protect Christianity, then maybe you don't understand what Christianity is.
The thing that separates Satanism from Christianity, or from any other religion for that matter, is not a rule or a law, but the fundamental axiom that you love others as you love yourself. Satanists don't love. They don't believe in love. Satanism can never and will never be equal to Christianity. You don't need a law to codify that. There isn't even a man made law that could codify that. You need your citizens of all faiths to know it in their hearts and live it daily. And if you do know it in your heart, then it doesn't matter what religion your neighbor is. He will respect your beliefs, and you will respect his.
Because as the Declaration of Independence tells us, we all have inalienable rights, and love requires those to be respected in others, as we demand they be respected for us. The Founding Fathers understood how dangerous a state mandated religion can be. No such mandate is necessary in America.
I have friends of many faiths. Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and Agnostic. But we all share that fundamental understanding. And we all live in peace. Satanists won't last long in our reclaimed America.
isn't "other religions can be tolerated" the whole idea of freedom of religion? not in opposition to the idea of being a Christian nation. Freedom of religion not only promotes peace among those who haven't come to Christ, but also among the many different types of Christians
No, freedom of religion only creates a vacuum. You have to understand history and where we came from. The West is really Christendom, but a desiccated and weakened form of it. Christ was King in the nations of Europe, but liberalism imposes religious communism and makes all religions equal. Now Christ is on the same footing as zeus or satan and the ones with power and money are making sure Christ gets sidelined while satanism is promoted.
no, Christ is not on the same footing as Satan. Lol. Christ has truth.
and is no good to anyone that doesnt seek sincerely, anyways. forcing beliefs on someone doesn't save them. all you can do is present the option and let them reach their own conclusions.
If by 'freedom of religion' you mean ridding the nations institutions of all references to Christianity... I would of course agree. AND I would restore them where they have been removed.
But that's not freedom of religion. USA can have a Christian identity without doing away with freedom of religion.
that freedom is obviously necessary to accomodate the wide variety of Christians, anyways.
But legally, in the US, Christianity and satanism are on equal footing, bc the state cannot outlaw either but must accommodate both. That's why you have afterschool satan clubs and the explosion of wicca.
You are mixing up a moral question with a legal question.
Christ becomes king whatever the circumstances. Is that not what you belief? So, whence cometh this question.
Turning to Christ is a personal decision and not a question of law, lest you live in a theocracy.
A satanist, though professing his or her beliefs under the freedom of religion, cannot act in defiance of liberty, as that would entail the destruction of the freedoms protected by the Constitution.
Hence, we are back to square-1: a personal choice.
If this is hard for you to comprehend, then freedom may not be for you.
Jesus Christ is the King of kings PERIOD.
Here's another unpopular opinion: The word "religion" has always been misdefined.
It SHOULD mean -- or perhaps we just need a new word -- a belief system that includes, as its highest value, loving others as one loves oneself. (or similar wording.
Christianity certainly fits, and it is that insistence on loving one another which draws me to Christianity. All by itself, THAT insistence -- if it were ever fully lived up to -- would banish all human evil from this world.
Such a focus would clearly eliminate "religions" that urge violence against other innocent human beings, whether as a means to spread one's religion or for any other reason.
Quite a few religions fit my (here only vaguely defined) pro-love version, including belief systems that don't include a God of any type.
People conceptualize God (and anything truly beyond human comprehension) in many ways, using human ideas and imagery. Just because someone doesn't know Jesus' name or conceptualize the Christian God in the same way that Catholics or Methodists or other Christians do does NOT mean that aren't true disciples of Christ -- as Christ Himself asserts in John 13:35.
Your daily reminder that faith and spirituality are from God and are free of charge; while religions are manmade systems of control and domination that cost lots of money.
AND! You're supposed to feel "guilty as sin" if you don't shell out every week for the men in the flowing robes!
LOL no thanks, we can honor the Creator on our own, in our hearts and souls, any time we wish, no special building or day of the week required.
"I don't believe in any god that requires heavy financing."
--George Carlin
Love the Carlin quote!
When Christ comes to reign the nations - man's empires will ALL be gone - Daniel 2:44 (NKJV) And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
You’d need a Constitutional Convention. Unless you intend on using brute force. And frankly Unless there is a more authoritarian Christian right-leaning lurch in domestic politics. It’s doubtful you’d get enough support in a Convention to amend the Constitution as such.
As you’d essentially be advocating the formation of a State Sanctioned Inquisition to enforce your bans. You’d also need to determine which Denomination of Christianity is the ‘Right’ one. As there isn’t a united Christian faith anymore. With many differences large and small between various denominations. Hence the centuries of religious oppression and feuding between denominations in ‘Christian’ Europe.
And if you empower one denomination. Then you better prepare for the others to start causing trouble.
God forbid, if Americans decide to go towards a more authoritarian Christian nation, its the Satanist's wet dreams come true. They have already made books and shows (like Handmaid's Tale) about this, envisioning how they will control the population under an authoritative Christian regime.
This quote seems relevant. And frankly yeah. I quite enjoy the non-authoritarian Christianity. You can be reasonably confident the door to door Bible Thumpers will leave after you tell them to fuck off. So you can enjoy your morning without a bloody lecture from the Mormons or whichever denomination is going door to door that week.
They may not be so willing to leave when they can park an IFV out front
I have a large NO SOLICITING placard on my front door. When they come, I open the door, lock eyes with the trespasser, and extend my arm and forefinger to point at the placard; then slowly and silently close the door while still pointing at the words and maintaining eye contact.
End of conversation.
I was working off OPs presupposed notion of abandoning the concept and amending the 1st amendment.
I’m personally well aware of the notion of the separation of church and state.
this is a freemasonic ideal used to banish Christ from the public square
Right. "Christians" aren't monolithic, any more than "white people" are.
Individuality and personal freedom of thought FTW
This is just my OPINION, I think realistically what will happen is that a great reset will happen in that there will be WW3, mass death destruction chaos, and then Catholicism will be ascendant throughout the globe and the whole world will covert (based on prophecies and such, you don't have to agree with my opinion)
As far as pragmatically speaking, you're right there is not a lot we can do in the current system. I'm just venting that, as great as America is and as much as I love my country, it's actually a terrible system that has within itself the seeds of its own destruction.
Maybe practically speaking, bare minimum, Jesus Christ is God, King, and Lord, and other basic dogmas in the Apostles Creed or Nicene Creed, and nothing more.
Lets face it, America is basically hijacked by jewish blackmailers for their own enrichment and ends. Religious freedom just gives them a place to exist and carry out their schemes.
so much naivete. so much twisting of the word with the doctrines of men. the kingdom of the Lord isn't now, its in the future- after the day of the Lord. now is a time of walking with/in the Lord to spread the good news to make disciples of all nations. why? because it is a time of choosing between good and evil. to make the choice you must have a choice. God wants to be with people who want to be with him, and he will honor your choices. choose wisely, and bring more understanding to your theology, it's mired in doctrines of men. hate to break it to you. God is a JEW, he's not a catholic. God's nature is well revealed in scripture, more reading and meditation please. start with matthew 7 v 15-23. read v 22-23 at least five times.
Correct - When Christ comes to reign - man's empires, rules, constitutions will all be blown away like chaff - Daniel 2
Come Lord Jesus Come
"and then Catholicism will be ascendant throughout the globe"
Ok, then I'm out. I serve God and Jesus, not a pope, not a bishop, not any man. Catholicism is the root of all evil. Religion is bullshit, faith doesn't need institutions.
It's God, Jesus and the Bible, period.
Catholicism (or any other form of organised Christianity) as as much about subverting the words of Jesus as is any other form of religion.
Freedom of humanity starts in the minds, not in the structure.
Your opinion is that Catholicism will take over the whole world.
My opinion is that if that happens we are all doomed.
Catholicism. Really? You're Catholic?
And you think THAT shit-show is going to be the one everybody suddenly converts to and goes skipping through the meadow holding hands and chanting?
Get real dude. The Catholic Church IS Satanism.
Christ is King in All Places and all ages. Everything else is fake. If you don't know that You will know. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Most will not be prepared when Jesus returns.
Why do people study the Bible happened before Jesus, should they only focus what is after? Or only a little bit of what happened before arrival?
Not all founding fathers are Christian… the one that is Christian is a most likely a bad one “Alexander Hamilton”(Federalist)…
deist / Theistic rationalism is a reasonable description of the Founders' beliefs. 1) belief in a personal God, (2) familiarity with the Bible, and (3) belief in prayer.
When Q said ending is not for everyone that includes everyone with different religious backgrounds…
It's the first right listed in the First Amendment for a reason. The Founders CAME FROM religious persecution of a type similar to what you advocate.
So glad you aren't in charge. Got enough divisive dividers dividing us with their division and divisiveness.
The problem is, we've replaced freedom OF religion with freedom FROM religiion. Never meant to be that way.
Ah. . .it's freedom to choose. Government is not of God but rather man. It has no effect on God's Kingdom which is not of this world.
The British were fleeing from religious persecution, King James was persecuting Protestants and Catholics. This is why our forefathers put freedom of religion seperate from government rule in the constitution
In the history of the world there has never been a theocracy that didnt commit atrocities against its own people in the name of God.
I agree with you, and I believe that was the intention when the Constitution was written. Somehow, freedom of religion has been hijacked, much like our Constitution, our morality, the rule of law, the Bible and so much more. All while we slept. This is on all of us.
