Why is this elected official, paid by the American people, using his power to engage in #viewpointDiscrimination, and violate the #FirstAmendment rights of individuals and businesses that express ideas he doesn't personally agree with?
8 years after his predecessor vetoed a bill enshrining the #Bible as the official state book, Gov. #BillLee signed into law a measure making a version of the Holy Book one of #Tennessee's 10 official tomes.
The purpose was clear: to send a message that Tennessee favors #Christianity over other forms of worship, or lack thereof.
Taking essential #healthcare away from needy children on #Easter is incredibly fucked up. These #Republicans continue to claim exclusive ownership of #Christianity while behaving in a way that would have infuriated their #messiah. They're literally acting directly contrary to the foundational teachings of the man they claim to revere and follow.
#ChristianNationalism is inconsistent with personal #freedom, including the #FirstAmendment’s guarantee that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
A society where one set of religious views is imposed on a large number of citizens who disagree with them is not a #democracy. It’s a #theocracy.
#ChristianNationalists in America believe that the country was founded as a #Christian nation and that Christian values should be prioritized throughout government and public life. As the country has become less religious and more diverse, Vought has embraced the idea that Christians are under assault and has spoken of policies he might pursue in response.
#TheEssentialChurch casts a group of sectarian #Christofascists as warriors in a timeless spiritual battle against government, secularism, and Satan. It’s an odd story at best, given that their victory is ultimately achieved by the same government institutions they claim are being used by the Antichrist. The narrative is riddled with contradictions and logical gaps.
Imagine being so full of hate and insecurity that you have to cancel all your meetings after seeing a TurboTax commercial featuring a same-sex couple. These #Christians are the most pathetic people on Earth.
