State Theocracy, Christian style - US next on the agenda?

If you could do away with all religion tomorrow, with what moral code would you replace it?

Or would you bother?

If you need any religion to inform you of morality you are to be deeply pitied.

What informs you of morality, and what is the origin of it?

If you are only perhaps a human being, you won't understand. And any spiritual journey is a personal journey.

Hilarious non argument. How did humans have civil society before the current religions. Laws are agreed upon by the society and anyone that strays outside the 'norm' is punished. Religion doesn't provide any unique moral framework and in fact most advocate some type of torture or murder.

The Roman Catholic Church was the first global multinational corporation and called for, in various Papal Bulls of the 1500s, the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Praise Jesus and shit.

With All Eyes On Trump, Texas May Soon Pass Horrific Anti-LGBTQ Laws

Texas...

"One sweeping bill that has received a fair amount of national media attention, HB 3859, would allow state-funded adoption and foster care agencies to turn away applicants on religious grounds, denying parents who are LGBT, or even those who are Jewish, Muslim or atheist. It passed the Texas House and is now moving through the Senate, causing a great deal of concern because similar bills have been passed in other states, including in South Dakota this year.

Getting less attention, however, are the insidious attempts to write discrimination into must-pass bills that have already been debated. An amendment added at the last minute to a nursing care bill, HB 2950, for example, would bar the Texas Board of Nursing from punishing discriminatory actions if they are committed in the service of a nurse’s “religious beliefs.” According to the Texas Freedom Network (TFN), a watchdog and activist group, a nurse could “cite his religious beliefs as a reason to refuse to care for a gay patient on the grounds that he believes homosexuality is a sin” or is against his faith. “A nurse who believes that men are the head of the household,” the group also notes, “could breach client confidentiality to disclose a woman’s medical condition to her husband against her wishes.”

This is what theocracy looks like, one religious group that takes over control of the government and institutes their own religion as the law of the land. Christian sharia law out in the open now.

It is also what fascism looks like, and the bigots lack the courage to admit it.

 

[Preacher]

You can see how easily theocracy would be accepted by some. I imagine this is what people in Iran see and read daily as well. People who think their religion should control all people's lives. The same with the Taliban, the same with Isis. Some are more violent than others but all share the idea that their religion should be forced law on the entire population.

No I think people should be allowed to CHOOSE who they want to place a baby with and who they want to take applications from to become foster parents. Just like you want a woman to have the right to CHOOSE to murder her baby.

 

[Fenton Lum]

So letting people and organizations make their own choices is a bad thing now?

Except for abortion...that's ALWAYS a good thing to the libs.

Up to the woman and the man involved, nonamybidness, your's neither ya backwater inbred racist redneck peckerwood.

Don't murder your own son.

In your humble opinion. The fact is, all moral codes trace back to various religions at some point in history, even cults of personality if not spiritual or metaphysical beliefs.

The fact is humans are essentially animals. While humans possess a conscience, you must be taught to be moral, or immoral. Otherwise, it's all quite relative - whatever pulls your trigger to satisfy your instinctive wants and needs.

We're all human beings. Now what's your answer? What informs you of morality, and where does this information come from?

You need it. Desperately.

 

[bodecea]

The law looks designed to protect religious organizations and individuals from being deliberately targeted by activists.

The fun part is it includes ALL religions.
