Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) says she is “tired” of the long-standing separation between church and state in the U.S., adding that she believes “the church is supposed to direct the government.”
In a Sunday speech at the Cornerstone Christian Center in Basalt, Colo., ahead of her primary election on Tuesday, Boebert argued that “the government is not supposed to direct the church,” falsely claiming that dividing religion from the system of government was not what the Founding Fathers intended.
“I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk — that’s not in the Constitution. It was in a stinking letter and it means nothing like they say it does,” Boebert said, earning a round of applause from the audience.

What we need is Theocracy.....apparently
Can inquisition and witch burnings be far behind?

Sounds like someone has been reading her the ideas of David Barton and David Limbaugh.

Two weeks before Boebert was sworn into office she got her GED.

I’m not throwing rocks at people who have a GED. Boebert has the right to say whatever she wants, but people who trust her knowledge of history and give credence to her interpretation of the Constitution are the ones who grew up playing left home at away games.

Absolutely not.

Religion (or theology) is the repository and vehicle for most of our moral teachings.

I'd love to see atheist kids have the chance to be someplace where they can mediate or play games while others do what they want to do.

I said whatever.....they can play games.

I am certainly not for forcing kids to pray or listen to lessons or anything that goes against their faith (theological or secular).

However, the idea of whitewashing religion from the public was never the intent of the founders and isn't a good idea.

Certainly, when you have morons out carrying signs saying "God hates fags" I have to wonder if the almighty doesn't step away from his celestial desk for a drink and wonder just how stupid his creations can be.

As a gay man, I try to take no notice of institutional homophobia permitted in MANY places of worship.

Live and let live

As a hetero man, I have to apologize to you for the stupidity of some of those in the human race.

What I truly believe is that people of faith see their (my) most treasured institution, marriage, being destroyed..... not by gays or trans or anyone else.....

But by those who get married and are divorcing at a rate of over 50%.

If that wasn't happening, I am not sure that gay marriage or gayness would be that big a deal.

There is no separation of church and state in the constitution.

Except for the first amendment which simply states congress can't limit the establishment of religion.

Please no need, honest.

Christ preached tolerance and forgiving others of transgressions. I don't believe in the Christian doctrine, but there is much to be taken from this messege, even for an atheist.

I have read Jefferson.

The first amendment says... Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.....

What part of that am I missing.

History shows that several states had state sponsored religions well into the early 1800's and they were NEVER challenged.

The states got smart and wrote them out of their state Constitutions....but nothing was ever said about the fact they existed.
