Michael Flynn versus QAnon.

Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn calls for one religion in America (MSN)

At a three-day conference in San Antonio, Texas, for the "ReAwaken America" tour, former national security adviser and keynote speaker Michael Flynn called for Christianity to become the singular religion of the United States.

"If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God," said Flynn, who recently talked about his Christian faith in an effort to refute QAnon claims that he worships Satan.

Emphasis added.

Not that I'm with QAnon, but that's just what a Satanist would say.

But Satanists would call a true Christian a Satanist, so maybe QAnon is a Satanist cult? n/t brewens Nov 2021 #1

Quoting one Elizabeth Clare Prophet, late of the Eternal Violet Flame, and tried first to pass it off as an old Catholic prayer....

wasn't added to the Pledge of Allegiance until 1954.

And the Pledge itself? Yeah, introduced in summer 1892 by the *socialist* minister Francis Bellamy....

So, he's historically wrong, and demonstrably stupid. If you do not understand the Constitution and what American Democracy (yes, we area Democratic Republic. Those morons couldn't explain Federalism if they read the definition from a children's dictionary), then you have zero business trying to govern. That goes for him, and the asshats from Georgia, NC, AZ, MO, CO and other bastions of fearful, willfully ignorant rubes.

Democrats need to point this out--how the GOQP can't follow their own Constitution, nor the Bible they claim to love so much.

Never mind the Deists among the founding fathers who saw what single state religion did in the colonies. Never mind that nearly 200 years passed between the first "pilgrims" and the Revolution. (Pilgrims? failed. Rhode Island and Anne Hutchinson?) Most colonists considered themselves Christians, although this did not mean evangelical in today's sense. This did not mean that they lived in religious unity, either. Different Christian groups believed their own practice of faith provided special values that needed protection against those who disagreed. These people came from a Europe where Catholic and Protestant nations often persecuted or forbade each other's religions.

Today's evangelical political christain simply doubts their own belief to the point where any dissent or disagreement drives them into cognitive dissonance. They cannot abide anyone thinking differently; ergo, they want to eliminate all dissent, and violate the first amendment. These people are a very vocal minority. They are clanging gongs and braying asses.

But sure, make everyone in the nation become First Free Southern Christain Baptist Disciples. Or make them all Muslims. Or force everyone to be Catholic. See how that plays out. Oh, wait, we called that the Spanish Inquisition.

We have Freedom from Religion, too.

Please, don't compare Satanists to Flynn. The Satanic Temple is actually fighting FOR abortion rights in Texas, among other things. Flynn is just evil.

This kind of craziness doesn’t come out of nowhere. I know we’ll probably never know, but is anyone investigating Flynn for stuff he did while at the top levels of the intelligence community?
