Laws I Would Enact in an Officially Christian United States Government

[MizMolly]

Here are a few beneficial changes that would be made under a Christian United States government. So many problems would vanish overnight with this legislation. Many more would reduce over time. There could be more. These were just a few things I thought of initially. Really common sense stuff, basically a return to 1950s television, an era when families were stronger and children became independent earlier, and societal norms opposed sex outside marriage. A time when top shows were Donna Reed and Leave it to Beaver. A time when it was the norm to attend church, there were the most priests and sisters and Catholic schools in history.

This could be a reality, folks, if enough of us think about it, work towards it, and pray hard. They never though Roe v Wade would fall, and now look what is happening, so it CAN be done!


In the Schools:
Christian/Catholic sexual morality taught from the earliest grades:
1. Human lives are of supreme importance. Animals are subordinate,
2. Sex is only permissible through marriage
3. Birth control will not be discussed, nor will condoms be distributed in the schools.
4. Sex education would be replaced with sensible teaching on dating which would include recommendations of:
..... a. Relatively early curfew times
..... b. No passionate kissing prior to marriage
.....c. Emphasis on getting to know the other person
.....d. Duggar-style side hugs, rather than frontal.

Ten Commandments, crosses, and crucifixes may be displayed.
School prayer allowed and encouraged.
Christmas may be celebrated. Christian themed decorations may be used
Christian-themed Christmas plays may be performed.
Racist CRT banned.
Prominent Americans returned to the history books. Lives of the greatest canonized saints would be added in order to inspire children.
Christian schools would be strengthened.
All leftwing/ Marxist propaganda removed from schools and universities. Overt Marxists teachers would either reform or be dismissed.
No alcohol allowed in university dorms which house underaged students. (You might be amazed this is allowed in many or most freshman dorms).


In movies and television:

• Nudity is banned.
• Depictions of sex outside marriage banned
• Foul language banned
• Graphic physical harm depictions banned
• Only nuclear family depictions: Parents married.
• Depictions of cohabitation banned.
• Gay sex acts are banned.

In media:
No legislation may be pushed by a news outlet that violates Christian moral teaching. Abortion, rioting, extra rights for gays or trans, pitting women against men may not be advocated. Basically any promotion of the issues Marxist atheists use to divide and undermine the country will be banned.

In commerce and law:
Pornography banned.
Abortion mills illegal.
Mexico City Policy made permanent.
Most government domestic programs will be shut down, and a private sharing program would be established where people send funds directly to those designated in need. This would eliminate large piles of money. This will be the topic of another thread. It is based on charity, rather than coercion. It would also remove power from leftwing politicians
Government photo and/or fingerprint or retinal ID would be used for all voting. No drop boxes. Only verified mail-in voting. Very limited early voting.
Illegal immigration would be stopped cold. Legal immigration requirements would be relaxed for countries for which they are onerous.
Recreational drugs once again illegalized.

Good thing that type of government is just your fantasy.

The only people upset at my rules are porn addicts, drug addicts, women who want to kill their unborn babies, and crooked leftwing politicians.

Here is the problem we face: When politicians permitted divorce, abortion, legalizing drugs and anything else you wish to present, we the people could say, "No." And we do not.

Not only do we give the nod to divorce for cause, we give the nod to no-fault divorce. Not only do we give the nod to the rare abortion, we give the nod to most abortions. When we give the nod to one area sexual permissiveness, we give the nod to all sexual permissiveness.

I am sure you see my point: People seek permission from their leaders, and it is granted because those in leadership positions are supported by people in legal and medical professions who can make money off these decisions.

Do not put Church leaders in this position. They will fail because they will be in a political position and political leaders fail. They want power. To gain and keep power, they give in to what people want--not what is right.

Jesus taught us a balance: Everyone, aim for the ideal--the best option. Always. Also be aware that sins are forgiven.

What politicians can do is redirect us. Want a divorce? Fine. But the children get the house and mom and dad have to be the ones that move in and out.

Your nation thinking of abortion: Lend a helping hand.

Drugs and alcohol: Make sure natural choices are just as well known.

The Church is here to help us draw closer to God. Government is here to grow and protect a nation. Let each do one job well.

I doubt any of my friends are watching porn. They don't need to. They're married.

I guess they’re the lucky 1% of guys who get it from their wives every single day.

Yes, I would like a Constitutional Amendment to make Christianity the law of the land.

I prefer religion be kept out of politics. Nobody has the right to enforce religion.

While I think religion should be a part of politics, it shouldn't have the power to enforce anything. Religion is what is offered freely, but the choice to embrace it lies firmly with each individual.

In what way should religion be a part of politics? I don’t agree

I'm all for the constitution except on the issue of keeping religion out of government. But if you REALLY want to see erosion of your freedoms and rights, keep right on empowering the atheists to make all the laws.

An authoritarian, neo-fascist totalitarian Christian dictatorship – how typically conservative.

The fallacy you make is assuming most women call themselves pro-choice, rather than pro-life. And married women are overwhelmingly pro-life. My idea sharply reduces poor single motherhood. I say it would be enormously popular with women. In fact, most people would love my plan. The only ones who wouldn't are the reefer smokers, prostitutes, porn addicts, and leftwing politicians.

Everyone is pro-life – including those who respect and defend a woman’s right to privacy and oppose government excess and overreach.

Of course, you and others on the neo-fascist Christian right have no problem with more government, bigger government at the expense of individual liberty.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Maybe some dumb groupies or gold diggers. That's about it.

So no Piano Man in your new order. The re-education camps will be large indeed.

Hitler went bad once he abandoned his Catholicism for atheism. That's when he started his killing spree.

This is a lie.

I'm not talking about abortion, as you well know, and you'd be hard pressed to get women to go back to the time where they could be secretaries but not bosses and had to put up with sexual harassment on the job.

Jesus wouldn't not of approved of shills being recruited to come forward and make scurrilous accusations against good men.

Jesus tell you they were shills?

Immoral acts harm all of society.

Define "immoral acts".

We saw what happened with the Puritans in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Horrific.

The Declaration of Independence

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

In other words, there is a power above government. Our first two Presidents:

In his Farewell Address of September 1796, Washington called religion, as the source of morality, "a necessary spring of popular government," while Adams claimed that statesmen "may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand."


Religion should be able to speak out on the morality of laws under consideration. In other words, religion should have a voice. The power to pass the law remains as is.

I also believe that beginning in middle school, any and all religion should be an elective.

My Puritan ancestors beat my Quaker ancestors for not being in church on Sunday. I am a big fan of freedom of religion.

Of course you would.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Wrong.

If religion is part of politics then it’s inherently about compelling religious dogma through force of law.

Two versions of the Bible?

How can that be?

Clearly the Editors worked separately. At least they are books apart, unlike the 2 creation stories...
