My job is working in government. I also happen to be Christian.
But at church I'm not a government employee, and at work I'm not a Christian, because one has nothing to do with the other. Separation of church and state is good for both institutions.

Separation of religion from life is even better.
Ah yes. Internal purging. Fascist checklist is moving real fast.
Fellas, is this DEI?
Just start reporting cops.
Sounds like Christians are going to try and purge society. Again. Get your guns and be ready. Load up on bullets. Train. Go to a range.
And trauma kits. Have them and learn to use them.
MYFAK.com has great trauma kits. With lessons and manuals.
What baffles me is like, if you have to set a theological standard for a government then you'll have to persecute 99% of Christians too, cause this one flavor of evangigilical baptist or whatever that is leading the fray alienates all of the catholics and however many protestant denominations of Christianity. You cant have a Christian state and just assume all other Christians will fall in line behind your doctrine because Christianity itself can't agree on the doctrine.

You're missing the bigger picture of "selective enforcement". If everyone is guilty, then there's no need to manufacture a pretext fire them or to arrest them and throw them jail possibly in El Salvador beyond the reach of the rule of law).
Well, in regards to everyone is guilty, a large population of Christians believe in original sin, that everyone is inherently bad and you can only get into heaven by following the word of god to the letter... and if the state is the official word or God well, you better follow everything big brother says or you'll spend an eternity in hell...
Christian is a really OK guy, he shouldn't be bullied.
Right. Rules for thee but not for me.
Let's start that list of anti christian behavior of trump:
.
Christian Nationalists leading the downfall
Well, Secretary Rubio is among the least christian people in the state department, so…
Do they mean like when their leadership is revoking student visas, going Leviticus 19:34 states: "You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself".
Leviticus is from the Jewish part, though, and is therefore inherently less valuable to Christians unless there's anything in there about murdering gays or treating women like property.
Man, these guys would love Islam.
I can hear it now
NOOOOOOO ALLAH BAD NO SUCH THING AS ALLAH NOOOOOOO

Took them a while, but the south finally rose again.
And fucked us all without lube.
Do you hate Donna in accounting for wishing you a “happy holidays” in 2021? Now you finally have the opportunity to get back at that god-hating bitch! Rat her out to HR and send her ass to El Salvador!
/s
Goddamn.
I don't think the /s is appropriate. That's like...gonna happen.

At least now I have something to yell if a member of the US government attempts to grab me off the street—“This is religious persecution! I’m a Christian!”
It should take them a while to sort that out.

Fuck religion, brain dead morons
Religion is a big fuckin sham. At best it’s brainwashing people to fawn over fictional characters and at worst it’s a disgusting grift to get rich (tax free not to mention) by taking advantage of people’s fear and insecurities. The world ~~could use~~ needs more secularism.
