Unsaid: YOU CAN'T LEGISLATE RELIGION!

[lindysalsagal]

All day on MSNBC, they hint around about it, but it's the religion that's the problem, and the cultist's imperative to impose it on everyone.

The TV heads have to get over it and call religion the problem.

1. who said that? SC has nearly unlimited authority to legislate. Just give them a case...

Unlike other branches of government, SC can overrule most of their decisions.

[DickKessler]

2. I think you'd have to empirically demonstrate that in the absence of religion, they would uphold Roe

How would you go about that?

6. Yeah they are bringing up more and more bs about fetal heartbeats

And other rubbish...

3. Joy Reid talked about it

tonight, I believe toward the end of her show. That was the only time I heard it mentioned today anywhere.

Talk of evangelicals, fundamentalism and the terrifying dominionists has been largely missing from the overviews I have heard so far. Their influence is massive.
Meanwhile, their agenda moves on apace and separation of church and state looks more a hollow dream than a reality in this country.

4. If your god requires local legislation, he's a weakling, and you need a better religion.

I'm so done with cults.

[Maraya1969]

5. Another verse talks about a man and a priest givinng a woman herbs to make her abort to see if she

cheated.

Numbers 5:11-31


The Test for an Unfaithful Wife
11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[a] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.


16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”
