44 percent of Republicans favor a Christian theocracy

[wvit1001]

A new PPP Survey reveals that 44 percent of Republicans favor making Christianity the official religion of the United States. While that is not a huge surprise, it becomes more frightening when you realize only 53 percent of Democrats and Republicans combined oppose the idea.That is because 28 percent of Democrats said they favor a Christian theocracy. That number is shockingly high for the liberal US party.

It gets worse, though, because according to the poll, three out of four adults favor eliminating the First Amendment which would destroy the secular government we have now.

The situation, thus, is dire. We no longer have time for niceties. We need to speak out forcibly against faith and expose it for what it is – a delusion deleterious to liberty and the commonwealth.The stakes are high. The faith-deranged support a (largely successful) nationwide campaign to restrict women’s reproductive rights and introduce Religious Freedom Restoration Acts, of which there are now 21 in force, with others on the way.

As a result of decades of Christian propaganda, performing abortions can be life-threatening for doctors. And in times of widespread fiscal austerity, the government loses about $83 billion a year to religious tax exemptions. This should all outrage us and incite us to act

You sound a bit paranoid to me wvit.

[gwboolean]

It isn't paranoid when it's true Komerad Local, unless you can perhaps provide some information that would suggest that what Wvit says is not true.

[Byteryder]

Vit, Go find it.  Do it now!

[Byteryder]

I have no church.  My only God is my God.  But, given a choice between a Theocracy and Socialism-- I'll take the Theocracy

[wvit1001]

Is that the lonly choices byt?  How about we just stick with the representative democracy we've got now?

"A new PPP Survey reveals that 44 percent of Republicans favor making Christianity the official religion of the United States."

Do you mean to tell us that you don't believe that the majority believes in any religion. 

So I guess that you believe that this country has no religious founding nor does it exist in our founding documents? 

A quick tour of history may help you Godless liberals.  Remember who won the Iowa caucuses last election?  I'll let you figure that one out.

Given a choice between Hillary and a Christian... Guess what?

[wvit1001]

nobody said anything about anyone's  belief in religion having anything to do with this?

[wvit1001]

First Amendment

The First Amendment guarantees freedoms concerning religion, expression, assembly, and the right to petition.  It forbids Congress from both promoting one religion over others and also restricting an individual’s religious practices.  It guarantees freedom of expression by prohibiting Congress from restricting the press or the rights of individuals to speak freely.  It also guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peaceably and to petition their government.

So Wvit I assume that in your world it means when 44% of Republicans favoring Christianity as the official religions it means that the remainder are against it.

HMMMM?  What happened to those who have NO OPINION? We must think that they agree with your biased view.

How much understanding do liberals really have regarding religion and the belief by the founding fathers who set up this country?

Of course the founding fathers never mentioned it except in most ever document that most of them authored. 

[wvit1001]

what are you blabbering about kensan?  are you trying to somehow justify your rejection of our Constitution?

[Truman62]

Christian Theocracy today and Religious dictatorship TOMORROW!

And you will willingly let them take over, in the name of GOD...
