Our New Speaker Thinks the Earth is 6,000 Years Old

[ThisIsMe]

I answered this already. It shows he is willing to ignore proven facts. (Actual facts)

It shows he believes in young earth creationism. Ok, a lot of people believe in a lot of things. The question is, does he use it in his vote when passing laws?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

You think his religion is the focus of his decisions in lawmaking?

Yep.

Go read up.

Unless you think he wants Sodomy to be illegal because it hurts his bunghole.

 

[pknopp]

You don't have to take my word for it. Go check.

I have.

He is willing to ignore facts. That's troubling.

Well, this is reassuring.

The new Speaker appears to believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old.

Before arriving in Washington less than a decade ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a deeply religious Christian, was a legal crusader associated with a fringe evangelical movement called “young Earth creationism,” based on a literal reading of the Bible’s Book of Genesis that posits the Earth is only several thousand years old.​

​

In the mere hours since Johnson was elected speaker Wednesday, he hadn’t had to address his views on creationism and evolution. But his close ties to a leader of the creationist movement and his past legal work — on behalf of the Ark Encounter creationist theme park, where children can learn that dinosaurs were passengers on Noah’s Ark — seem to suggest that he’s also personally aligned with these beliefs.​

“The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Johnson said in a 2021 interview with Ark Encounter founder Ken Ham while guest-hosting the radio showof Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, an evangelical activist group.​

I though at least 7000 years.

Where did you get the idea that everyone who doesn't believe in men violating each other's buttholes is a young earth creationist?

 

[initforme]

He can believe in the young earth theory. It's his right. Heck I haven't confirmed to traditions here either but I follow the laws.

 

[Nostra]

I can only provide you the information, I can't make you understand it.

You should take those mind reading skills and open a booth at the carnival.

You are sure to makes tens of dollars.

 

[theHawk]

When he agrees with Ken Ham on a literal reading of Genesis.

Then quote it.

 

[theHawk]

Yep.

It’s funny how it terrifies you….the thought of sodomy laws coming back.

It should be made illegal again, since it was effectively legalized by SCOTUS the degeneracy of America has run rampant. Like Roe v Wade, Lawerence v Texas should be overturned and left up to states to decide.

I know actual democracy scares little Satanic cult types, like they are with abortion laws being allowed to be voted on now. If the cultists can’t sodomize each other and children, and kill babies, they get real upset!

 

[ThisIsMe]

Yeah, he has some concerning views on gay marriage, the question is, has he used those views as the focal point for his decisions in congress? You do realize that people can have a belief, but not allow them to influence decisions. Just like with his interview with hannity, he said, “obergefel is the law of the land”

I agree, his views are not what you would want in a congressman, but, he has said his religion reflects his personal world view. What is his voting record in congress? If he is using his religious views to guide his decisions, then I agree with you.

Rather than me roaming around reading random articles, why don’t you point me to a couple in particular you are thinking of.

 

[ThisIsMe]

I have.

Well hell, you could apply that to anyone who believes in God in general. Regardless of the age of the earth, science “facts” says the Big Bang and evolution are how all this was formed, so anyone believing differently would be refusing the “facts”…so…there goes like…half of congress..

While i don’t agree that the government has any business in someone’s bedroom, I think sodomy laws are wrong. They harken back to biblical references and frankly, you can’t use the Bible to govern, because not everyone believes in the Bible.

Single dumbest thing I have heard all day. Of course you can use the Bible to govern.

Turning away from God is what causes all the problems in the first place.

Cool story. I take it you have no quote by Johnson, just like the idiot OP Toro

Rubes gonna rube!

LOL

 

[Toro]

Toro goes to the bowels of stupidity and finds it every time. What a change from the real Toro. I still think the new fake Toro is don't taz me bro. He's probably the new fake FA_Q2 too

When you stop being a fake conservative! Just like the rest of the MAGA cult!

As a Christian I fully recognize there are many different religions here. Keep religion out of governing. A theocracy cannot be allowed.

I have to disagree. Your religion should guide your personal life, but when governing a country, you can’t use your religion as the basis for decisions. Not everyone is religious and not everyone believes in Christianity, and therefore people should not be subjected to their religious views.

Let’s put it like this, if you found out Ilhan Omar was using her Muslim views to influence how she voted…you’d be fine with that?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I have.

Apparently not. You seem to think theories can turn into something else. Or something.

Gross. Embarrassing.
