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?

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?

[worldstarcountry]

And just for full transparancy sake, the purpose of the Commission is outlined on the Justice Department website.

Lets keep it going and post every single thing about this commission possibly available
Two Page Summary

President Trump is Delivering on his Promise to Protect Religious Liberty June 26, 2026 “We’re bringing back religion in our country, and we’re bringing it back quickly and strongly—because for America to be a great nation, we must always be one nation under God.” –

President Donald J. Trump President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission Delivers Historic Report
• Last May, President Donald J. Trump established the Religious Liberty Commission to advise and report to the President on opportunities to “identify emerging threats to religious liberty, uphold Federal laws that protect all citizens’ full participation in a pluralistic democracy, and protect the free exercise of religion.”
• Today, during an Oval Office presentation, Chairman Dan Patrick, Vice Chairman Ben Carson and the members of the Commission delivered Commission’s draft report to the President.
• The draft is based on findings from the seven hearings that the Religious Liberty Commission held over the last year, receiving input from more than 100 witnesses of diverse ages, religions, expertise, and backgrounds. Many experienced religious persecutions in the United States.
• The hearings specifically covered religious liberty in the military, education, healthcare, the public and private sectors, as well as the importance of protecting parental rights and faith-based institutions, and combatting the rise of anti-Semitism and violence against houses of worship.
Powerful Testimonies Highlight Recent Threats to Religious Believers
• In recent years, Americans from all religious backgrounds have faced increasing persecution for their religious beliefs.
• The Commission heard from mothers who were lied to by their children’s school administrators, children who were bullied because of their religious beliefs, healthcare workers who have risked losing their jobs due to religious objections to certain procedures, a grandson of Holocaust survivors who was restricted from public spaces because of his Jewish faith, nuns who were targeted by New York State, and workers—including military service members—who lost pensions and life savings when forced to choose between their faith and vaccine mandates, among many others.
• For example, elementary student Shea Encinas was bullied for standing up for his Christian faith when he was forced to read his peer a book that told him he could choose his gender—the school refused to help and doubled down on pushing gender ideology onto the students. Teacher Marisol Arroyo-Castro was told she had to remove a cross near her desk or lose her job. Jennifer Mead’s 11-year-old daughter was pressured by school authorities to believe she was a boy. Navy Seal Blake Martin lost his pension when he was just three years away from retirement eligibility because he objected to the COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Eithan Haim was indicted by the Biden Department of Justice for blowing the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital’s gender mutilation surgeries for minors. Shabbos Kestenbaum was targeted on Harvard’s campus simply for being Jewish. And Lacey Smith was fired from her flight attendant position at Alaska Airlines because she answered the invitation to respectfully share her thoughts on the Equality Act. These Americans have suffered greatly for their religious beliefs.
• 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.
• The final report will be published after the public comment period and will equip all Americans with the knowledge and support needed to defend their Constitutional rights.

12 Opportunities to Strengthen Religious Liberty for All Americans
1. Instruct the Department of Justice to issue guidance clarifying the proper understanding of the Establishment Clause and separation of church and state.
2. The Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission shall issue “Know Your Rights” Posters for students, parents, public school teachers and administrators, religious leaders, religious institutions, healthcare workers, and military servicemembers.
3. Any public official who alleges a person under their supervision has improperly engaged in religious expression must provide a written explanation of the alleged violation to the person accused within 30 days of any action and explain that charge based upon a specific constitutional provision or provision of law.
4. Instruct the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, to create religious liberty violation reporting hotlines/online portals for students, parents, teachers, healthcare workers, and others to obtain support in the face of religious liberty violations and promote public awareness of existing reporting channels.
5. Nominate and confirm federal judges with the courage to decide religious liberty cases on the merits where warranted, rather than engage in improper judicial avoidance.
6. Ask the Department of Justice to create a religious liberty task force to track and prioritize litigation protecting religious liberty.
7. Combat anti-Semitism through enforcement of civil rights laws, litigation of credible allegations of anti-Semitic discrimination and violence, and civic education.
8. Protect religious Americans from government-led litigation targeting their free exercise.
9. Repeal the Johnson Amendment.
10. Order the Department of War to streamline and improve the religious accommodation process.
11. Continue efforts to restore the retirement or re-enlistment eligibility for service members who lost employment, health insurance, pensions, and other benefits because of their religious beliefs about the COVID-19 vaccine.
12. Honor the courage of religious liberty heroes through creating a Presidential Medal of Religious Liberty and First Freedom Hero Awards to recognize Americans who stand up for religious freedom and play an indispensable role in protecting citizens’ Constitutional rights.

I highlighted the most significant lines to note. Everything is on the Justice Department website. So far none of the language favors any type of faith enforcement, and repealing the Johnson amendment does not favor Christians alone, but all 501c(3) organizations. That is one out of 29 501c structures. 

Thank you for keeping us updated, we will watch this with curious eyes.
