Ted Cruz Thread

That is diabolically wrong!  You have no facts to support your feeble claim.

This Nation was established by God fearing Christian men for the most part.  There is no conflict between Christianity and freedom.

BLAH,BLAH,BLAH,BullBush.  Do you know ANYTHING about history?

[sneakypete]

ROFL!!!
You really need an education in historical context, it was Religion that built this great nation.
Why even post, if you know you're going to come off as an ignorant dolt?

Yes,religion helped build this great nation,if you are referring to all the people who left Europe to get away from the stranglehold organized religion had over both governments and individuals.

Ever heard of "Separation of Church and State"? Have any idea what was behind that?

"Separation of Church and State"?
Stupid Lib! There is no such thing! There is, however the First Amendment, which I suggest you read and understand!

Do you understand that the Constitution defines the limits of the federal government and NOTHING else?

The Constitution forbids the GOVERNMENT  from interfering in the Church, and nowhere limits the activities of the Church.

Show us with sources.

All he has is lib talking points memos to fall back on.
Separation of church and state...

Yeah,one of us is stupid. There can be no question about that.

Nor can there be any question about it being the one that believes in miracles,magic,and life after death.

No,I understand that the Constitution forbids Religious cults from interfering with the government.

I bet your cult leader is the one that convinced you that the Church (whatever church that might be) is dominant over government.

[Cryptic Bert]

Yeah,one of us is stupid. There can be no question about that.

Can you expound beyond "separation of church and state"?

[sneakypete]

Show us with sources.

Be specific. History is a big subject.

[sneakypete]

Can you expound beyond "separation of church and state"?

Why is that necessary? Do you not understand what the word "separation" means?

[Cryptic Bert]

Why is that necessary? Do you not understand what the word "separation" means?

Of course but how is it relevant? Do you know why? How exactly does it apply? You are obviously smarter than the rest of us. Now is your chance to educate us.

I'd like to see where in the Constitution it explicitly uses that phrase.

[kroz]

I'd like to see where in the Constitution it explicitly uses that phrase.

sneakypete obviously doesn't know what he is talking about.  It is NOT in the Constitution.

And churches do not teach that they are above governments.  They teach that we are under the authority of our governments and should do as instructed EXCEPT when they order us to do something in direct violation to the Bible.  The Bible says that God hates homosexuality and calls it an abomination.  So Christians should not participate in anything like that.  Otherwise we should follow the laws of the land.

The government should not have the power to force us to violate our religion.  They allow the native Americans to use peyote in their religious rites, and they allow muslims to put sharia law above American law, so why are they persecuting Christians?
