    No, the quote that you referenced which you accessed all Republicans as following is a Theocracy.

    My issue here is pretty plain.

    you took a radical agenda and attempted to apply it to all republicans.

    Nope.

    Exactly. Which is precisely why your attempt to take that radical statement and swipe all Republicans was called out.

    Oh! Fun game!

    All Muslims are terrorists?

    All blacks are criminals?

    All whites are serial killers?


    Or does this ridiculous fallacy only makes sense when applied to your boogeyman, religion?

    I’ll ask a simple question
    Do the majority of Republicans believe their chosen religious beliefs should be the foundation of civil law?

    Yes or no?

    that's a false dichotomy.
    and I've clarified it several times. My position is still that the separation of church and state is not in the Constitution it's still not there.
    No need. My claim is factual.
    that's still a false dichotomy.

    So, would a union between Church and state be constitutional?

    No.

    All of anybody doesn't believe anything.

    Now my turn.

    Is basing laws off representatives religious beliefs a theocracy?

    When you consider all Christians, and you post a few isolated incidents to try to falliciously claim they are all child molesters, that's anecdotal.

    Look up the definition.

    Your fear of religion is irrational.

    I didn’t ask for all
    I asked for the majority

    Try again
    I never said it was

    But it depends on the level those leaders take it, so not necessary but possibly

    Editing people’s posts, moving the goalposts and now strawman arguments all in a couple of posts. Impressive

    So.. the theocratic ideology you attributed to "all republicans" was in fact... BS.

    Yes.

    I'm bored with your dancing now. You made a stupid stereotypical post which was responsive to your irrational Haye of religion. You got caught.

    Tuff titty.

    I have never once claimed all Christians are child rapists.

    Straight up lie — I am growing tired of this strategy

    Direct quote me saying that or we can end this conversation as I have no interest in speaking with someone of such caliber to say child rape is anecdotal because they don’t like who is doing it and believe they win arguments by distorting others posts.

    As to your definition, perhaps you meant a different word

    I got caught in something you made up? Laughable
    I didn’t even mention republicans in the post that has upset you so severely so how I said quote “all Republicans” is fascinating

    No wonder you believe no one can keep up with you.

    Would the church controlling the government be constitutional?

    Absolutely not. Is that all you mean by separation of church and state?

    Yes, because I am using the exact words Boebert used. Church is different than faith.

    I don't see many argument saying our government should be devoid of faith or religion. 90% of congress members have some type of religious faith. The question is how overt that faith should be. But that's besides the point because Boebert said "church."

    So like prayer in schools, politicians speaking to the religiousity of their voters that's all cool
    Is she saying we should have a theocratic dictatorship?

    Before you say yes I'm going to ask for you to show me where she said that.

    if you are forcing people to attend prayer, that's coercion and unconstitutional.

    She said the church should direct the government. This means the government should take direct orders from the church.

    yeah that's why I didn't say anything about forcing anybody to attend anything
    Is that what it means?

    Yes, as my understanding of what the word "direct" means.

    So you believe she is part of a conspiracy to set up a theocratic government?

    Is she also a lizard?

    What would you call the government taking orders from the church?

    Boebert said the church should direct the government. How would you classify that?
