@ffrf.org @ffrf.org · 9d If liberty comes from the Bible, why did the Constitution omit God, ban religious tests for office, and prohibit the establishment of religion? The founders were drawing heavily from Enlightenment philosophy, not creating a biblical republic.

The fuk it did.
The Biblical principle of "kill all the non-white Natives.."
Doesn't the Bible suggest that God created people just so they would worship him? Not exactly liberty.
The bible was compiled by the one true church - the Catholic Church. All others "churches" are teaching falsehoods to a population of heretics that should be burned at the stake. There, that's how it works, right?
A founding principle of Any religion is to stop people from doing the things they want to do. The bible promotes the exact opposite of Liberty.
Cut education funding, remove books, fire or poorly pay “dei” teachers and demand religion(big money donations)be shoved downed kids throats this is the result. The generations snowflakes’ history will start in the 70’s
Also, most of the founders owned and had studied the Quran and openly welcomed Muslims, Jews, and people of other faiths into the American experiment. They were explicitly NOT creating a Christian or Biblical government. Do an AI search for founding fathers and Islam and see how clear they were.
In the Old Testament, there’s a whole list of rules about your slaves.
Silly me; I thought Aristotle developed a concept of eleutheria. Perhaps Old A was a a pre-christ christian aka jewish.
I've asked before, could you please publish on this site your black collar crimes list?
This guy if full of it
Religion, the opiate of the masses.
You're right of course, but I despair that it's necessary to repeat the obvious—again and again and again.
Eric Metastases - spreading deadly crap. A "biblical republic" is a contradiction in terms. Even JC made the distinction: render unto caeser and keep god out of it
Fascism will come to America wrapped in a flag and carrying a Bible
Goshen county Wyoming forced Superintendent of Public Instruction candidates a religious test in the town hall. Republicans do not care about the constitution.
If religion is so wonderful, why do they feel compelled to shove it down people's throats? It makes it feel like more of a control issue than a spiritual one. And, he should study Jefferson more closely.
The idea of SLAVERY also comes from the Bible. What the f*ck is your point?
The idea of liberty came from the Greeks.
I went to a Non-denominational, fundamentalist christian school from 5th grade through 8th grade (dear gawd it seemed like longer) and even there history classes taught that the country was founded to get away from a church ruled society.
I thought liberty came from Harry Potter…
Thomas Paine attacked institutional Christianity in his book The Age of Reason. Thomas Jefferson rejected most of modern Christianity and wrote his own version of the NT. Benjamin Franklin was very skeptical of organized religion & church
Religion is notorious for being fair, even handed, and supporting free will.
Too bad those billions of Buddhists, hinduists or animists never new anything about the concept of liberty. Ask Native Americans and, above all, Africans, how they learned about liberty when the Christians arrived...
#30million8/30 If we do not assemble a massive march we will appear weak. 30 million marching on August 30th. I am not seeking likes. You need to repost this. I cannot make this happen by myself. It requires all of us to participate.
Quite sad to think that today's Republicans are considerably less mature and advanced than the Founding Fathers were. It's almost as if human evolution is a bell-curve and these days we're regressing down the far side of it. Which certainly explains President Plankton in the White House.
The many slaves in the bible would like a word.
