The Flying Spaghetti Monster isn't even needed. I went through a tough time in my life, and me, a Democrat got to know it pretty well. And the New Testament is when Jesus shows up, and NONE of this is in there. We need a powerful Democratic Theologian, someone like Jim Wallis from Sojourners, who can argue these nuts on their own turf. This is not a different interpretation, this is LYING.

Those right wing nut "Pastors" are lying their asses off, according to the words of Jesus Christ. They want this stuff to be in there, and they are faking it.

Yes, I really like them and their website.

After 9/11 I met Muslims who were so upset at the radicals and fringe crazies, and that's how I feel too about those kind of people in Christianity. They are promoting and condoning horrific things. Little girls, and women, having babies from rape and incest. Mothers dying for no reason - none! Encouraging the slandering and murder of Trans, and other LGBTQ people. Encouraging racism, and the hatred and exclusion of "others". All these actions opposite of love. It's such a horror show. Thank you for the website address, it will help me calm down.

YES to **Separation of Church and State**

They are working on eliminating plan b. It also makes me so mad that now potential OB/GYN DRs are not going to want to go into the field, esp in red states, and others are leaving the field or retiring early. How can any female vote red?

Oh yeah! Every one of the trumpers I know personally (I don't talk rational politics with them since their views are so warped) says that. Like before Pickleball became so popular, I had no idea what it was. A friend of ours was talking about it with another friend and I asked him what it was. His response was "Google it!" followed by his obnoxious laugh. I looked at him and said that it was sad that he was explaining a game that he knew nothing about to someone else, but couldn't tell me what the game actually was.

He used that phrase on me a couple of other times and I knew that he was wrong about he was talking about, I can't remember exactly what it was so I did Google it just to prove him wrong. For someone who was so confident in a simple Google search before was now saying that he was right and Google was wrong. I told him that I would believe Google over him any day of the week and twice on Sundays. I bruised his enormous ego a tad. 😁

Electing judges is a terrible idea. And Alabama has proven it yet again.

I'll bet SCOTUS is already working on lame ass excuses to deny certiorari. It may be pretty easy, since it would be an appeal to SCOTUS from a state supreme court decision interpreting a state law. State's rights and all that.

They will let the Alabama decision stand, because that's what the SCOTUS christofascist cultists think is correct, but they won't get their holy fingerprints on it.

Agreed. The GOP legislature are tripping over themselves to enact an IVF protection statute. If states had an informed populace, electing judges would be acceptable.
