Theocracy The Cost For Christian Vote In 2016

[TheMastersNemesis]

You can bet that the RW radical extremist Christian are demanding to mix religion and government as we move forward. They expect to have laws based on the bible, mandatory prayer in what public schools that are left, Christian charter schools funded by taxpayers and tax money for their faux charities to take care of the poor (a new 1000 points of light). LOL.

For women they will demand that family planning itself be made illegal or tracked with new federal and state laws that make women wards of the state. Hell they may want to go as far as Idaho and make abortion 1st degree murder with all parties charges. And they may even want contraceptives put on a control list like drugs.

It only now begins to see their price.

1. Religious beliefs are based entirely on make believe.

The fact that we still have laws in this country based on absolute fiction is dismaying.

3. How do you determine that, though?

For example, the SNAP program has some support from Christians who take seriously the command in Matthew to feed the hungry. Should we end SNAP because of that, to avoid dismaying you?

4. Last I looked there is no requirement that one be religious

to believe the hungry should be fed.

All Matthew does is to regurgitate the well-known "do unto others" idea that had been around forever in an attempt to appropriate it as a message of Christian origin.

And shame on anyone who needs to be told by their religion to do what any empathetic human being would do without prompting.

5. In the redder states every miscarriage will trigger an investigation.
