I would love to have them light up like a scoreboard as each representative takes the floor, showing all of the commandments they have broken. If people want so badly to bring religion into politics then lets just show them exactly who they’ve been voting for. Maybe we can get the news networks in on this too, displaying it on the side of the screen similar to a sporting event.

This probably wouldn’t go as well as you might hope, this just gives them the opportunity to say something like “I know I’m not perfect which is why I’m thankful for the grace of my savior Jesus Christ”.

Its actually a feature of Christianity that you can sin as much as you want after you do the magic prayer, they are technically supposed to try not to, but the inevitable failure is due to man’s fallibility

As my dad said, he’ll answer to god when he’s dead. So that means he doesn’t answer to me or anyone else he’s been a complete p.o.s. to. Convenient.

Wouldn’t that just trigger the “thou shalt not lie” commandment? We’re not their god, we can punish them with immediate judgement.

See, you’re looking at it logically.

What you need is a frontal lobe lobotomy so you can happily ignore whatever you please, just like they do.

Theoretically but I’ve never seen a Christian in a position of power called on that

Can we have the beatitudes instead ? You know the supposed words of Christ.

Wouldn’t work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he’s a “good christian man” in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don’t care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.

On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.

So you mean all of the things that are legal for Biden to now do thanks to SCOTUS? 😆

He’d be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he’d never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.
