Jeff Sessions quoting bible passages (1 Viewer)

I wonder if there is some loophole when it comes to the establishment clause that basically says “we’re not really injecting religion here because we’re being totally insincere”?

Really weird when he does it in his native elfin language.

Maybe to give some kind of spiritual comfort, not in terms of enforcing the law. He's cherry picking some passage to support tearing kids away from their parents. It's both absurd and scary.

Pretty sure King George quoted the same verse when the colonists were revolting.

July 4th is always a good day to share Romans 13:2 with friends and family:
" Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."

I think you pretty much started a political thread in the main forum and attempted to get away with it.
'Tis cool. But that's what you just did. It's overtly political/constitutional.
:chuckles:
Good effort, though.

Like most fake-scum Christian's he quoted one part, out of context, in furtherance of a policy that is a violation of the rest of the verse, and demanded an adherance to the example of the passage instead of the teaching of the Word.
In other words, #### him.

Did you just call Jeff Sessions a "fake scum Christian" sir? I assure you that Jeff Sessions is 100% real, authentic scum, and to have you belittle a lifetime of effort to reach his lofty status of scumminess is frankly offensive.

Mods please move this to the religious sub forum

Completely. But it plays to that segment so what do they care. It’s pretty disgusting to blatantly pander that obviously and pervert Christianity to further their own goals but somehow the people being pandered to are oblivious to it.

One thing I'll never forget from being christian, there's always some other christians that think you are not a real christian.

We’re nearing the point where basically the whole FFA could be moved to that sub forum.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, but notwithstanding the foregoing, Keebler Elves may freely misquote religious texts in an effort to drum up support from the dim.

the bible seems the only book from eons ago that people want to follow to the letter of the law. heck, a cookbook from the 1960s says to use cigarettes ground up as a topping on cakes.

I used to be one of them.
It's a mindset. If you read it with the belief that it's god's word, somehow in your mind it makes even the ridiculous things it says seem okay, or at least don't need to be focused on, or ignored completely.
But if you read it like it was the word of people thousands of years ago, then the ridiculous things stand out pretty well and are hard to ignore.
I used to read it all the time, but now I can't read it without thinking the god of the bible is 100 times worse than Hitler.
