Atheists or the Constitution?

Of all the Founding Fathers, John Adams was probably the most religious, and so likely had biased views compared to his more Deist contemporaries

If I had to choose between two buttons—one that made everyone a faithful Christian and another that made everyone an atheist—I would choose the Christian one.

Someone post that graph with atheists supporting homosexuality so OP can make his mind.

Which sect of Christianity?

>the government shall make no laws infringing upon the free exercise of religion

the most important part of the bill of rights. What this implies is that using the proper religious justifications, Christians collectively are free to fix the problems with the world around them.

Consider that Christians collectively form the body of God upon the earth, and that they are called to do in God's name the things which ensure their eternal life and glorify the heavenly kingdom. That license can be interpreted to allow for the subjugation of threats to their well being, even to expelling such threats from their domain.

The constitutionality of the supremacy of the Christian God composed of the people of God is enshrined in the United States, and all required is that they flex their authority unflinchingly.

C'mon anon, tell me
Which sect of Christianity?
There are over 45,000 sects of your one-true religion
So which one? Do you want everyone to just be a random sect of Christianity? That doesn't sound too conducive to social cohesion though does it? Or do you just want everyone to be YOUR sect of Christianity, while everyone else is just fucked over
Amazing how one simple question completely erases your schizoid fantasy.

Canibalism is bad anon, nobody cares about your religious justification

>>17840434
>Which sect
It doesn't even matter which. All a group of them must do is make it clear they do this or that in the name of God to glorify the heavenly kingdom or ensure the eternal life of God's people. Having done so, no action can be taken against them legally because that is their enshrined right.

old covenant, irrelevant

>>17840444
That doesn't really work in the real world because different sects have different standards for what constitutes Gods will. What you're really advocating is anarchy, because by your standard anyone can just make up some religious justification in order to get away with something

>>17840452
The תַּנַ״ךְ is no longer canon? That's sure news to me, you retards better fix that because that happens to make up 75% of your book and happens to describe the creation of the Earth itself

>>17840444
Jonestown and Charles Mansion were both justified, you heard it here first!

>>17840454
You are right to be afraid. The power seeded to them by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is awesome. Be glad that they are generally concerned with pleasing the God of all righteousness, and that the eternal life of their people is their primary concern. Pose no threat to them and they are unlikely to wield that sword against you.

The world is lucky that Christianity is now a complete joke that is subservant to Secular institutions because otherwise it would be Islam-tier in terms of violence

>>17840416
Calvinism

>>17840465
You are correct, even the killing of the children of the enemies of God's people can be righteous if it serves to ensure the eternal life of God's people. The horrors and bloodshed that can be unleashed through the exercise of their authority can be truly terrifying, and I hope they are never forced to draw upon that power.

>>17840458
If you are unable or unwilling to reckon with the distinction between the old and new covenant then you have no place in any discussions such as these.

>>17840476
But what if YOU were the slave? To the slaver, he is justified according to God, would you have the same attitude?

>>17840488
Yes but it is for freedom that the Lord has made us free, and so no respect need be paid to the master of this world when in service to the highest authority.

>>17840466
Why do you get two buttons if both of them result in an Atheist society?

>>17840520
Calvinism isn't wrong, in so much as the ones who wield the authority must elect to do so, and so are the elect. Many do not, and so can not be.

>>17840444
Enjoy hell!

Atheists are overwhelmingly more moral though.

>>17840593
On what grounds?

>>17840405
If you could press a button to give all women big boobs or big butts, which button would you push?

>>17840396 (OP)
Maybe it is time for some new documents to govern a nation by, the constitution and bill of rights are over 200 years old making them primitive, the USA can be a better place without religion mucking it all up

>>17841048
Only a complete fool would willing surender this right.

>>17841048
If you change it now the every single lobbyist is going to bribe the everliving fuck out of every single individual in the republican and democratic party you're going to be even more fucked than you are now.

>>17840409
First of all, it's "make up his mind".
Second, plenty of homosexuals are at least superficially religious

>>17840396 (OP)
The constitution because the idea of a constitution that cares about truth is inherently religious is inherently contradictory.

good info in this thread

>>17840399
Which is ironic given that the descendants of NE Congregationalists are also like the least religious, most hippy dippy tolerant, religions in the US today (Unitarians, etc.)

>>17840396 (OP)
The Constitution should be updated and modified to keep up with new generations and new problems that need tackling
This is literally what Thomas Jefferson himself supported
