@GaryWorlddd@MyCup0verFlows@farmingandJesus Pastor Tim at the mini-mall church, ofcourse. I used to go to pastor Bob, but then he started preaching things I thought were a heresy, so I switched. Wait.... does that make me my own pope and I just pick someone who already agrees with me?.... its too early for this
@jwludwig@MRondonmon@AndrewKolvet Yes, and those people thought official state religions were super cool.... so what's your point? I am very aware the 14th amendment fucked up everything the founders believed and established, i already said this
@jwludwig@MRondonmon@AndrewKolvet 2. strong common defense and trade. Thos notion the founders didn't want state religions is revisionist history and clearly untrue. They wanted to make sure THEIR religion could be the state religion
@jwludwig@MRondonmon@AndrewKolvet 1. You're saying exactly what I'm saying, I dont understand where the disconnect is. The person I was originally responding to was in error with his comment, you have already admitted as much.
The country was originally established on protecting state's rights while providing a
@jwludwig@MRondonmon@AndrewKolvet Ya, no shit. An amendment passed almost a hundred years after the country was founded. An amendment that fundamentally changed what America was actually founded on, and an amendment that could be argued was illegally passed .... you arent making the point you think you are
@jwludwig@NY_FLA1979@AndrewKolvet I'm aware what it says, it's in the first word "CONGRESS". If you would have bothered researching what I said, you would have spared yourself the embarrassment.
@co3blue@AndrewKolvet There were no states before the constitution was ratified, they were colonies, no? You are starting off with a semantic game and already losing. They got rid of the official religions for various reasons over the years, but the OG constitution allowed it
@co3blue@AndrewKolvet 1833.... huh... that seems to be after the constitution was ratified.... weird. Also, 7 is the majority in a conluntry with 13 states. You used a lot of words to say the same exact thing I did and prove me correct. So what's your point?
@jwludwig@NY_FLA1979@AndrewKolvet I'm surprised people still believe this bullshit. Most states had official religions AFTER the ratification of the constitution. The first amendment said no such thing
@MRondonmon@jwludwig@AndrewKolvet Most states had official religions after the constitution was ratified. Your belief is a common misconception. The clause was to make sure CONGRESS didn't establish a religion because the states wanted the freedom to enshrine the religion they wanted
@FeelsGuy2003 Does this also go for German parishes? One close to me had the full LGBTQ+++(the one with the curcle) flag hanging prominently on the highest portion of the building...
