Rand Paul compares Separation of Church and State to persecution, blasphemy laws

[ck4829]

In his speech yesterday at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to the Majority conference, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) claimed that the Senate’s 81-10 vote against his bill to end aid to Pakistan, Egypt and Libya was part of a taxpayer-funded “war on Christianity.” In the speech, Paul even compared “liberal elites here at home” to governments that have harsh laws, including the death penalty, against Christians.

There is a war on Christianity, not just from liberal elites here at home, but worldwide. And your government, or more correctly, you are having to pay for it. You are being taxed to send money to countries that are not only intolerant of Christians but openly hostile.

"Oh my God, everybody is saying Happy Holidays to me instead of Merry Christmas, it's just like Ancient Rome!!!1!"

2. OK so when can we start feeding them to lions again?

If the Christians want persecution I for one would be happy to reinstate the feeding of Christians to lions and other wild critters.

Put it on PPV and use the money for public education, the schools could really use the money.

Religion so poisons one mind, I wish we could get rid of it.

4. There go his Libertarian credentials

Though Libertarians might not want aid to foreign countries, but it would be on other grounds.
