It didn't happen because Carter was a believer in Christ, dear. That's *extremely* specious reasoning.

It happened because people like you allowed religion to start infiltrating government. You put your religion in your faith before the people of the United States. You’re an enemy of the constitution when you do that.

And don’t call me dear, you condescending pric

Like out of curiosity, what way has Ilhan Omar "allowed religion to infiltrate the government"? The insidious way Fox News keeps telling us?

Look at white people again, bringing up a religion that has literally zero political power, or any influence on our government. Always.

That you listen to Fox News says so much.

Is your argument that everyone does it? I don’t understand why you are posing an accusation as a question. I never named names. I don’t think attire is religious as much as cultural and independent preference. I’m unaware of her praying at work because you didn’t provide a source for that.

My argument is that she's not "doing it" at all. And unless you have an example of a person "doing it", then the line of argument is useless and invalid. That's the point. Someone *having* a religion and saying so is not in itself a violation of church.

Why are you arguing about something with yourself? No one mentioned her. No one accused her of doing anything. As far as providing sources that they are praying in congress, have you been under a rock?

In addition, someone NOT having a religion is not, in and of itself an indication of their moral character. As we've seen here, it's not even an indication on how unbearably self-righteous they'll be about something.

No it happened because people wanted power and to subjugate other people. Separation of church and state certainly did not stop people from doing *that*, that's for sure. So unless you have an anecdote of whoever you're talking about doing such a thing, it really has nothing to do with anything.

No, it happened because people like you allowed religion to filter into government because you thought it was a good thing. You went against the constitution and now you put us in this place.

Separation of church and state has been trampled on throughout our history. I think you mean the rule doesn’t stop it from happening. Both sides did it already for over two hundred years. Both sides argue that it’s ok as long as their side is the one doing it.

Again. Belief and faith are not the issue. Bringing to work when you work in government is the issue. What is good for one is weaponized by another.

I really don’t understand the disconnect from r discourse on this topic. Do we uphold the constitution or argue how it should bend? Bending it cause it to snap.

This entire discussion has made it very clear that Christians, left or right, do not care about the constitution when their faith is involved.

It runs deep and isn’t owned by one faith or political group.
