Don’t fall for it. We can only individually grow closer to Christ, making the collective whole better if enough of us truly change. It can’t come from the top down and we don’t need society to change in order for us to do so; people grow closer to God in the most unspeakable places under the most perverse tyrants.

There is no way you can use the law to enforce virtue within a person (religion) without it being Fascist in nature

Fascism is pretty much a requirement for the GOP these days.

Funny how those perverse tyrants, keep using religion to justify their actions and deeds. And yet your magical sky daddy doesn't step in to stop it.

Wonder why...

I was suggesting that no one should fall for the “we need prayer in schools” to save our society and everything has gone to hell since we can’t have group prayer in a public place nonsense. We don’t need anything of the sort from the government. You’ll be close to Christ or far from Christ without regard to what the government suppresses or what the government “allows.” Christ himself was subject to one of the most oppressive, “unchristian” regime the world has ever known, and he was able to get his message across. I’m a big fan of Christ, and of a lot of Christian preachers, but this “Christians are suffering persecution in America” is a dangerous lie. But now I’m more intrigued by the number of downvotes. I wonder what people thought I was saying?
