 Not too long ago Lauren Boebert claimed she's so quote tired of hearing about the separation of church and state because that's not in the Constitution in fact the separation of church and state is a term that just came from a letter from one of the founders But it's not actually in the Constitution now in order to debunk what she's saying all you have to do is open up the Constitution and read The very first amendment where it says Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or Prohibiting the free exercise thereof It doesn't say the words separation of church and state But functionally that's what that amendment does it creates a firewall between church and state and This is deeply rooted in our nation's history to borrow a line from Alito in the Dobbs case, right? so You can claim that there's no separation of church and state because the Constitution doesn't literally say there must be Separation of church and state but all throughout the US legal history. That's the way that that has been interpreted rightfully so but here She's going to say if there really is a separation of church and state like they believe then what is Ilhan doing with her hajaban Why is she able to go in there with that and see this right here? We're gonna watch the video, but this right here is a proof that when they say religious liberty They do not mean Liberty for all religious people. They mean Christians having religious liberty if you're Jewish if you're Muslim They don't care now the reason why We can still have the separation of church and state even if Ilhan Omar. Where's a hijab is because Wearing a hijab does not mean that you are going to create legislation Based on your religion. She has her personal religious belief which the First Amendment allows her to have but she's not trying to Impose her religious views on everyone else. She's not trying to say this portion of the Quran Should be reflected in this statue So I feel like this is a very very simple concept that even children would be able to grasp but to her Just the mere presence of separation of church and state means that we can't have Muslims Okay, but they're not the ones imposing their religion on people in America You guys are the Christo fascists are the ones imposing their religion, but let's listen Cots Ignorantly say this is in the Constitution separation of church and state. Okay. I already have to pause it after two seconds ignorantly say Read the fucking Constitution lady, you've just got to open it up. It's the first one the first amendment. Just just open it up. I dare you read it and They don't know what it means and they think that that means you can't talk about God Well, if they're really no no no That's not what we say that means that's a straw man argument You can talk about God. You can join your little Christian cult drink the Kool-Aid do whatever the fuck you weird people do That's fine. But what you cannot do is say I am going to make my religion the law of the land I'm going to produce legislation That is going to force people to abide by my religious principles. That's what that is you can talk about God all you want It's really fucking annoying and you do right, but you cannot say well because my religion dictates that abortion bad You can't have an abortion. You can't say well because my religion dictates gay people bad That you know, you can't then Make that a reflection of law or society. That's what the separation of church and state is Operation of church and state like they believe it means well, then what is Ilhan doing with her with her a jeep on I mean what He's jeep Checkmate libs You say that we have separation of church and state, but yet Ilhan Omar. Where's a hijab? Okay Let me know when Ilhan Omar starts introducing legislation that Forces everyone to live by the principles of her religion. She's not doing that Ilhan Omar might be personally religious But she is publicly Secular she governs as a secular lawmaker because she unlike you Lauren is actually following the Constitution you're not supposed to be able to impose your religion on everyone and let me just say this The separation of church and state overall that doesn't just protect Atheists and secular people that protects religion as well if there was a state Religion and a state church who you had to pay taxes to Well, if you were a Christian and that was a Catholic institution Then isn't that in conflict with your religion? So separation of church and state doesn't just protect secular people It protects all religious people who want to have the freedom to exercise their own religion. That's the whole point Okay, speaking of Christo fascists So I haven't seen the video yet, but um Brandon Bradford writes this starts off pretty standard and gets really insane sacrilegious and completely on brand for the religious Right if you filter their comments and actions through this lens reactionaries like JBP included they make way more sense So um if this doesn't scare you, I don't know what will Christo fascist indoctrination ceremony I'm not necessarily sure Where this is from so we'll have to look for the context, but let's just watch this video By the way real quick I'm not sure why this looks like it was filmed on a potato, but this is the only footage I think that somebody recorded their computer screen because they didn't have screen capture So I apologize for the poor quality, but this is unfortunately all that we have Body on the earth Okay, that right there is horrifying we've been given legal power from heaven and now exercise our authority so these Christo fascists they follow a sect of Christianity that I believe is called dominionism where they believe that they have a legal mandate from God to Essentially impose his law and rule over all of us So because we don't follow the biblical law or biblical principles God has given them permission essentially to crush us legally culturally and socially and so this is part of their Admission here. I just you can't really see this because I'm blocking it, but you can scan the QR code to get the prayer declaration This is truly us living in modern times folks where fascists Have QR codes if you want to say their fascist pledge Okay pause right there and reflect on that as I was saying They believe that God Has given them the authority to destroy enemies of God now enemies of God are who they say So this means LGBTQ plus people. This means anyone who doesn't necessarily agree with them people who You know have sex before marriage potentially Okay, so make no mistake about it They want a theocracy and they believe that God has granted them the authority to rule in a theocratic authoritarian manner They literally want the Christian equivalent of Saudi Arabia Where it's biblical law that dictates public law and civil law it is Horrifying because unfortunately these people are emboldened and this mindset is on the Supreme Court. They have a six to three Majority that's that's pretty fucking frightening. This is the most mobilized and motivated portion of the electorate So now notice that they're conflating wokeness with the occult Now just to give you some context the seven mountains is a reference to like different control points I believe of society one of those seven mountains is the government So in order to reclaim God's kingdom, you've got to control all seven mountains government is one of the seven mountains I don't know what the other ones are but I know that government is one of them and that's what they're really really fixated on so This is a cult you hear them all chanting and unison like this is cold shit And it's not just a cult that's contained to their own little community This is a cult that wants to force all of us to abide by their cult Forcefully by violent means if necessary, that's literally what they want That's literally what they believe God has granted them the authority to do so if you don't agree too fucking bad Okay, Joe Spinner has the seven mountains education religion family business number five is government and military Six is the arts and entertainment seven is media. So these are the seven mountains and so Take back permanently control now if you say we're gonna take back and permanently control the implication of that is controlled by authoritarian means To permanently control means you don't allow for pluralism. You don't allow for democracy You don't allow for oppositional voices. You just rule by God's authority. No need to have an election because God already voted God voted for you crazy people. I just gotta point out that It's like a theocratic pledge But at the same time they sprinkle in right-wing talking points like we declare that America's energy Independent and wokeness in the occult must be defeated. It's so strange and unhinged This country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles. We know the truth Therefore we stand for truth and we'll never be deceived. We will never stop fighting I don't That's dystopian So if you're feeling black-pilled after watching that Just know that the reason why they're doing that is because of this as Pacific Standard reports Gen Z is the least Religious generation So how do you save religion when people are moving away from it easy you force people genuinely unhinged and horrifying
