Sorry I forgot... Righties always bad, lefties always good, no matter what.

"United we are strong, divided we are weak."

-- An Eternal Truth

It seems like the neo-fascist GOP are dead set on weakening the *United* States of America...

Well, it worked so well in Germany a century ago, so why not adopt their playbook?

Perha[s you could provide some concrete examples of Leftists forcing their religious beliefs on others?

In the message I posted, I never said they did. I did say they sometimes do force their non-beliefs on people, including the belief that all Republicans are ultra-conservative Christian fanatics, which includes attacking them (by default setting) even when said Republican is agreeing with them.

Non-beliefs? Would those be facts?

Not all Republicans are ultra-conservative Christian fanatics, but as a whole they tend to strongly favor allowing ultra-conservative Christian fanatics to force their beliefs on others. They are complicit.

Are you implying that I attacked you? I wasn't aware that I had.

Since we are talking about religion, I don't know if their lack of belief
is backed by facts or not. The only people I can think of that might know for sure are dead and don't talk a whole lot.

The only thing I can figure you're talking about is instances when Christians are prevented from placing nativity scenes and other such displays on public property.

The people preventing such things are not forcing their "non-beliefs" on Christians. Christians can put up their displays on private property, with permission from the owner, all they want.

Hello Jeff,

Perha[s you could provide some concrete examples of Leftists forcing the
religious beliefs on others?

In the message I posted, I never said they did. I did say they
sometimes do force their non-beliefs on people, including the MP>belief

that all Republicans are ultra-conservative Christian MP>fanatics, which includes attacking them (by default setting) even MP>when said Republican is agreeing with them.

Non-beliefs? Would those be facts?

Without doubt, one cannot believe. For example, Jesus does not
believe in God. How could he? If he is God, as he claimed, then
he would know.

We must doubt in order to believe.

Whatever our belief might be, we can never truly know. The best
we can do is come up with a theory of probability. And then believe
whatever we want, or pretend it does not exist.

So what are facts? There are no facts.

Not all Republicans are ultra-conservative Christian fanatics, but as a whole they tend to strongly favor allowing ultra-conservative Christian fanatics to force their beliefs on others.

That is a theory of probability.

They are complicit.

But on what scale? That is the question.

Are you implying that I attacked you? I wasn't aware that I had.

Liz Cheney voted 93% of the time in favor of Trump policies,
but then became one of his fiercest critics. How many of today's
Trump supporters will run away from him during their own campaigns
for re-election?

Lee

Roy Moore had plenty of Republican defenders when he wanted the Ten Commandments in his courthouse (not so many, but still quite a few, when he
was accused of being a psexual predator).

The Texas GOP platform condemns homosexuality, so either the majority of
Texas Republicans agree with that statement, or they're voting against their own interests.

They are complicit.

But on what scale? That is the question.

With the USSC falling into conservative hands, the scale is only growing. Recent cases have proven that.

The White House is public property. A Christmas Tree is always
put on display at the White House, every year. No court has ever
objected to that.

Courthouses and other public places are decorated with Christmas stuff
every year. Why do you have a problem with that?

Because it is an instance of the government espousing one religion over all others.

Satan also does not believe in God.

fanatics to force their beliefs on others.

Roy Moore had plenty of Republican defenders when he wanted the Ten Commandments in his courthouse (not so many, but still quite a few, when he
was accused of being a psexual predator).

He was so unpopular a candidate in Alabama that the voters chose
to elect a Democrat. Didn't really matter who. As long as it wasn't
Moore or his evil brother. And then they tossed the Democrat in
favor of a football coach who can barely spell his own name.

The Texas GOP platform condemns homosexuality, so either the majority of Texas Republicans agree with that statement, or they're voting against their
own interests.

Their state convention proved it.
* rejected the 2020 election results
* repeal the Voting Rights Act of 1965
* declared that Joe Biden is not actually the Pressident
* implement a requirement that students learn about "the
Humanity of the Preborn Child"
* described homosexuality as an "abnormal lifestyle choice"
* excluded the Log Cabin Republicans (an LGBTQ+ organization)
from attendance

They are complicit.

But on what scale? That is the question.

That is true, across the board.

Presidents and/or their spouses are under no obligation to reside
at the house provided to them by the public. However, I do not recall
any president who has refused the offer. Although Melania Trump did
refuse to move in when it first became available to her.

Courthouses and other public places are decorated with Christmas LL>stuff

every year. Why do you have a problem with that?

Because it is an instance of the government espousing one religion over all
others.

Bill O'Reilly should write a new book, "Killing Christmas". It would
be sure to be another best-seller, just like his "Killing Jesus" book.

Lee
