    I believe two things.
    1. Jesus is who He claimed and is THE way.

    2. The mingling of that belief into the western politics of a free society is a zero sum game and completely misses almost the entirety of Christ's message, while also proving hypocritical the call for strict constitutional abidement by some of my fellow Christians.

    Big Government Ron has chimed in. You'll be very shocked to find out that Ronnie wants the government deciding which religions count. It makes me laugh that so many folks who claim to be anti-government support this anti-freedom clown.

    Um excuse me, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" is basically our national Anthem. He has a place in our culture, who else are we going to challenge to fiddle duels?

    In this case it will depend on how it is prosecuted. If the AG charges him since it was on state property look for the lowest possible charge possible.

    If it is prosecuted by the county attorney the hate crime enhancement stands a chance of being filed.

    "Please elect Donald Trump to another term and see to it that all his indictments are dismissed."

    Note: a joke, not an actual prayer.

    The Clash has a good observation about those like DeSantis saying that Satan has no place in society. It almost reads like it was written to Ron:


    Working for the devil
    You'll have to pay his tax
    That means going to see him
    Down among the racks
    You do his work so fine
    He'll remember you

    Unbelievable.


    Satan has no place in our society and should not be recognized as a "religion" by the federal government. I'll chip in to contribute to this veteran's legal defense fund.

    I don’t remember details, but I seem to recall that guy was a secularist and didn’t literally believe in a supernatural devil.

    Edit, I haven’t rewatched it but found the link.

    He threatened everyone with a miserable afterlife if they wank off too much, so it’s not much different than Christianity.

    THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS

    I just read the attached seven tenets of Satanism. No wonder DeSantis wants to destroy this religion. It goes against everything he believes in.
