Why Trump/GOP are dangerous.
July 15, 2016 at 11:30 am
These fucking assholes rightfully condemn the theocracies of the Middle East, and despite our history of moving away from religious laws over our history, these current GOP have had 40 years of being hijacked by the Christian right and their RNC platform is to literally do what Islamic countries do and use government to directly indoctrinate kids through public schools.

Quite possibly the stupidest statement ever uttered since one has fuckall to do with the other.

Holy fucking shit, if the bible were a requirement then why did they write the First Amendment the way they did and why did they put "no religious test" in the oath of office?

The parallels between Trump's political scapegoating and WW2 Germany can and should be made. Hitler sold Christian Nationalism and white purity. Jews were not his only target. And some 100,000 gays and lesbians were targeted for arrest and shuffled off to labor camps along with their other targets, or worse.

I'd rephrase that as 'When you lack an understanding of the Bible, you can more easily understand and appreciate the American form of government.'

If it was done academically, it would be a good thing. The average Christian has no idea about the barbarism, absurdities and contradictions in the Bible. It could help accelerate the rate at which young people are abandoning religion.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

That is not what they have in mind.  They say "teach."  They mean "preach."
