Not all that different from the Republicans or the TEA “Party” being controlled by the Religious Right…a “Hardline Religious Fanatic” is the same, “Muslim”, or “Christian”!
Religion needs to be kept TOTALLY out of Politics, but we all know THAT isn’t going to happen…WAY too much money to be made!

No more Ahmanutjob to make goofy statements to supply fodder for the editorial cartoonists. A lot of fodder has been sidelined in the last few months. Well,….we still have Kim Jong-un, although even he has been pretty quiet of late.

Masterskrain, I agree that religion and the state must remain separate. And in the interest of this separation I respectably suggest the elimination of any and all special tax status given religious organizations, let them pay the same corporate taxes that other company’s do.

@master….yeah, the Roman Catholic Church used JFK and Nancy Pelosi as puppets in government. NOT.
-
the Supreme Leader chose the few on the ballot out of more than 600 Iranians wanting to run for president.
Islam runs every one of the 57 Islamic governments in the world, through the clergy. Theirs is a religious-political system.
-
the new Prez is now getting his orders from the Supreme Leader, who is the power that started Iran on the Nuclear Program and World Domination agenda.
(nothing like that system exists in the Western democracy systems)

I seem to recall most of our Founding Fathers were all deeply devout men which is why there are so many references to God in their writings. Seem’s faith served them well then so perhaps it could again now. And you’re an idiot if you think there is even the remotest similarity between the GOP/Tea Party movement and the Islamic fanatics in Iran.

Didn’t know Deist meant deeply devoted to God.

You recall incorrectly, most were Deist’s not Christians. There is a difference.
from an interview:
“Mr. MEACHAM: Precisely. There’s a wonderful story about Benjamin Franklin, who very late in his life received the letter from the president of Yale asking him for his religious views and his view of Jesus. And Franklin wrote back saying, I believe in a god who is a creator, I believe in doing good to my fellow man. As to the divinity of Jesus, about what you asked me, I have not dogmatized upon it much nor given it much thought and think it irrelevant to do so now since I soon expect an opportunity of finding out the truth with less trouble. And he died a couple of months later, so presumably he found out.”

@UM5…..religious organizations are non-profit.
Corporations are money-making and pay taxes on PROFIT.
The USA has the highest corporate tax rates in the world.
IMO the atheists want to take away a tax-exempt status from those organizations with God-worshipping members. Like Hitler and Stalin and Mao, atheists and God-haters are Satan’s puppets, fighting God-believers at every opportunity.

A Deist believes that God exists. Many believe much that the Bible teaches. A Christian believes in Jesus, God’s Son who provided atonement for our sins and who offers eternal life to all who trust in the name of the Saviour, called Jesus Christ, and called Yeshua by Hebrew believers, the Messianic Jews of today.

Many of the founders came from nations like England that united state and church. They knew from experience and study that form of union leads to discrimination and persecution. The American government avoids any State Church for that reason. Most Christians and most Tea Party members (which is a political, not a religious organization) agree that Church must be separate and the State must not infringe on religious rights of citizens.

Does it really make a difference what the Founders believed about God? They didn’t believe in Einstein, so should we say that relativity can’t be taught? They didn’t believe in evolution, so should we say evolution shouldn’t be taught? They were smart people, some of them, but they were of their time. I don’t say that we are morally better, but our knowledge of science has improved a lot. And no scientific advance has ever required a belief in god.
