How does this happen? If a Supreme Court judge mentioned scripture in a ruling in Australia, he/she would be thrown out or more likely laughed out of court by the Government. It just would NOT happen.
Alabama is the biggest warning to the other states. Cultists making laws.
The justice in Alabama should be required to provide evidence for the existence of god before he invokes it on bills that affect people's lives so much.
They are so sure of Trump they are screaming the bigotry out loud. See OK Tom Woods today.
I don't need an invisible sky daddy to know that Justice Parker should be removed from the bench. This is totally insane nonsense.
Alabama Supreme Court Justice Tom Parker, leave YOUR religion out of the constitution!
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership—and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world—is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people.
Genesis 2:7
And the lord God formed man from the dust and "BREATHED LIFE INTO HIS NOSTRILS AND HE BECAME A LIVING SOUL"
If they overturns this type of conception then roe vs wade can be overturn. Privileged and money passes laws 😂 fertilized eggs are conceived eggs . No different then abortion. Only diff is money and lab sanctioned by the CHURCH😂
Good thing we've got all these immigrants to make up for the lower birth rate!
Religion has no place in government. This man has no business being in a position of power.
Its unfortunate the judge couldnt cite the law. Scripture is fiction brought to you by the same people who produce the blockbuster. He should be, accdg to one congresswoman's declaration, 'disrobed.'
All the recent laws impacting/restricting health care for some Americans are based on religious ideas, not actual health care. It is very frustrating that they can enforce their particular religious views on the population ad it opens the door to other religious views being used to make laws. It is not just a ridiculous law but a dangerous slope we are all on.
There are many people today, that really don't care about the constitution or the rights of others. What is on the rise, besides Trumpism…ignorance
I'm a Christian. It's not any of our right to judge! I'm also pro life. God is the only one who judges anyone! Stop playing God! God sees and hears you!
Merica is fu*ked! 😢
Straight out of Revelations 😢
Where in the bible is the term embryos?
The foundation of America was based on Christianity, its history.
His interpretation of the Bible is hateful, sick, violent & solves nothing but his personal belief.
Notice how none of these people are attractive….
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
This means that every and any religion and the practice of said religion is LEGAL and that no religion is above the other.
If they had wanted this nation to be a Christian only religion then they would have said so in this amendment, but they did not.
Not to mention the chaos and confusion regarding the IVF therapy, but when the government decides to speak on God's behalf, it discourages more people in conflict over faith.
Separation of church and state…
Pegan behavior
Interestingly, he misunderstands Genesis 1:1 and believes he was created on the fifth day. Allow me to share some insight. People often label God as "pro-life," yet events like the Flood and the Judgement are also part of the narrative. These facts have been and continue to be documented, even in our current times.
That's my Spell Book. Not even the Chief Rabbis can go against me using the Bible. What do you need? 🤣 Pray away. Because when they open My Book and Challenge the Son of God, they must think they are god. There will be some consequences.
At work, I have the freedom. When I come home to the family, …. That's my fear. Trade problems? 🤪
God Bless America
– the Son of God
Pluralism is the only path to peaceful, democratic process and human flourishing. Violence, oppression, and willful ignorance is the fruit of theocracies.
