Release The Spaghetti Kraken!

Yaaaay, Jeebus!

A new report by a Trump administration commission suggests replacing the idea of separating church and state with the idea of building bridges between them. The assertion — challenging a longstanding concept in American law — comes amid a raft of recommendations in a draft report of the Religious Liberty Commission, released Friday afternoon.

The advisory body was created by President Donald Trump last year and filled almost entirely by conservative Christians. The 224-page draft report — part policy document, part philosophical argument — echoes members' support for a stronger role for religion and religious expression in government, schools and the public square.

Correct my error, but isn't NOT bridging that like one of the main fucking main points of the 1st Amendment?

Did I miss The Alternative Bill of Rights with "The Bridge of Church and State" in Government class?

You know, nevermind...  moving on. 
 

The report recommends eliminating the "Johnson Amendment" that forbids political activities by tax-exempt religious groups — a longstanding goal of Trump. It calls for compensating military service members who were discharged for refusing COVID-19 vaccines.

It calls in general for allowing more religious expression in the public square, greater access to public money for faith-based agencies and broader exemptions for those claiming conscientious objections to policies ranging from vaccine mandates to pronoun usage to classroom lessons.

Alright, whatever. Have fun... We know what's important now. 

Time to appeal to law and release the Spaghetti Monster challenge. The Satanic Temple will line up to challenge it with stunt politics and more after school clubs.  

I think someone should go to the GOAT for absurdist religion satire, with some religion.

The Principia Discordia is the discord mother of The Spaghetti Monster in its kindred fight against invasive dogma.

It basically Taoism after doing too much acid in college...

But my submission is for The Five Commandments (AKA The Pentabarf) to be placed alongside side the 10 Commandments. 
 

I. There is no Goddess but Goddess and She is Your Goddess. There is no Erisian Movement but The Erisian Movement and it is The Erisian Movement.

II. A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.

III. A Discordian is Required during his early Illumination to go off alone & partake joyously of a Hot Dog on a Friday; this Devotional Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism and Islam (no pork), of Hinduism (no beef), of Buddhists (no meat), and of Discordians (no hot dog buns). 

IV. A Discordian shall partake of no Hot Dog Buns, for Such was the Solace of Our Goddess when She was Confronted with The Original Snub.

V. A Discordian is Prohibited of Believing what he reads.

Forgive them for they know not what they are suggesting. 

Have we heard from the Jedi, the Shizumaat, the followers of Kahless, the followers of Zarquon, the Great Law Giver, and many, many, many other groups that will heve to be represented in order to be fair. Even the Pastafarians. 

Has anyone consulted goat entrails to see how this will work out?

Personally, I think they are going to get very upset when they realize their various religions within that group are only a few of thousands. 

Does anyone remember The Book of Patato?

You omitted consulting the sensory feedback of the Crenelations?

I haven't found goat entrails to be particularly conversational. Perhaps they just don't like me, or perhaps I just happened upon some autistic ones?

No this one.

 


Sorry I can't find a better copy.

About the goat entrails, you are not a sooth sayer?

Crenelations? Google is not happy with that word. It keeps referring to castle ramparts.

[chr0naut]

No this one.

Oh, Lizzid Peeple...

... and don't worry about the image quality, one tends to forget that back in 'the age of the dinosaurs', they only had 525 scan lines, and a system called NTSC (standing for "never twice the same color" or, alternately, "hey, everyone on the news is purple now").

Well maybe you should add other parts of the article that builds better context. 

"To be clear, this does not involve or require advocating 'theocracy' or even the total elimination of any separation between church and state," the report says. Rather, it calls for honoring a "tension between the relevant clauses of the First Amendment" that guarantee religious freedom but forbid any government-established church.

The phrase, "a wall of separation between church and state" does not appear in the Constitution, but it's embodied in Supreme Court precedent. Thomas Jefferson used that expression in a letter to Baptists, supporting them in opposing official churches in U.S. states, a practice that soon ended.
 
Twentieth-century decisions by the high court invoked the "separation" phrase to extend the First Amendment's prohibition on federal church establishment to state and local governments, citing the 14th Amendment's ban on states denying citizens' rights.
 
That led to bans on official prayers and Ten Commandments displays in public schools. The Supreme Court in recent years has steered a different course, permitting such things as a public school coach's on-field prayers and a religious opt-out for parents objecting to a lesson on transgender issues.
The draft report contends that even Jefferson didn't believe in completely banishing religion from public life, but rather in keeping church and state in a kind of balance.
"In reality, the church and state strengthen and support one another," it says.
The report touts the value of religion to society in terms of providing humanitarian work, anchoring families and acting as "conscience" monitoring government.
 
"In many cases the law protects the religious expression of Americans, but government officials and employers often use fear tactics to silence individuals into believing that they don't have the right to publicly express their faith," it argues.
It argues — citing one of its own members, Catholic media figure Bishop Robert Barron — that notions of strict church-state separation can be traced to a "God is dead" ideology that originated in Europe and saw traditional religion as an opponent to individual autonomy.
"This way of thinking made its way … into the American culture and courtroom," the report said.

I will say this is an equal reaction to the outright hostility and coercive retaliatory behavior from previous governments, quite especially the last government that loved abusing its state power such as when it threatened every single human in the USA with job loss and often even in some states kidnapping their children in opposition to the prevailing dogma being pushed by the European Masters of the Biden Regime. At that point a strange anti-religious cult seemed to have prevailed over the USA , rabidly spitting platitudes about following the science, which at the time was whatever Anthony Fauchi ordered the lemmings and parrots in the media to proselytize without citing any actual science.

That was quite an extreme example of a non God , non spiritual cult. Many members here have only recently snapped out of that grand deception the likes the world has not seen since Central America was lopping off heads and hearts to bring the sun out of hiding during eclipses, and not unlike throwing children into fire as was done in the old ways in Europe and the Middle East. Same blind culty behavior.

So while some may have some unplaced fears of modern Christian theocracy, my bigger concern was certainly the Godless atheists and their fervor and justification of violent death for not 'following the science' which was never cited during the soundbytes.

I know from personal experience now that it is not the enslaved Christians to the Judeo-Holy Bible lie that is a greater threat to our society, it was everyone who blindly lined up to join their Branch Covidian cult, complete with calls for death to the non-believers and the wishing of harm upon all those who questioned that Orthodoxy. We can all go on the hunt in the ATS archive and start naming names of true cult followers, or maybe we just agree to disagree with the severity being insinuated with this report?

The funny thing here though, is that the actual lawsuit, the actual  concern is not with the commission report itself, but just the composition of it. I suppose it could have been a bit more diverse with respect to spiritual representation. 

What were the actual written findings in this report?
