Donald Trump's task force to "eradicate anti-Christian bias" is a complete waste of time

During his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Donald Trump announced the formation of a Justice Department task force that would eliminate "anti-Christian bias" in the federal government.
His executive order on the subject didn't include a single example of this so-called bias. Unless you were gullible enough to believe his lies.

Well, she is an enemy of God. Women are not allowed in the office of pastor or overseer. The Bible says so. That means she is in open rebellion and is an enemy of God. Just like Trump is an enemy of God too. There really is a bias against Christianity. In America is is superficial. For example Jesus and Christians can be openly and publicly mocked, movies can be made ridiculing Jesus.. Bands can name themselves "bad religion" and strike out the cross in their imagery... Try doing that with other religions and it won't get a pass. Especially if you try it with Islam. Outside of America in many places, Christians lose their lives because of their religion. Sorry for your hate, I hope you get over it. Although what Trump and his troupe call "christianity" is far from Christianity.

HB 59. Officially censured the Right Reverend Marianne Budde for her sermon during the national prayer service. Official government censure to clergy. The specific wording said that her sermon was distorted and an attack. There is effectively no separation of church and state at this point.

[@SarafinaSummers]

How many voted to oppose and how many voted to sustain that resolution?

[@ChixieMary]

@SarafinaSummers it's my understanding that all the GOP voted for and the Dems voted against. I could be mistaken about a few of them one way or the other.

@ Man, wrote a fairly long comment that did'nt get throught. Short points i then. If it was me the important things would be. 1. Making sure your passport is up to date 2. Reach out to secular organisations for advise on proper plans for if shit hits the fan. 3. Investigate job opportunites in the field of work you do in other countries. 4. If you have any friends in other countries maybe reach out to them for advise and possible help. Sorry, that's about as much of advise i can think of on short notice, and i sincerly wish it wont be that bad that you or anyone else need to flee the country. If it comes to that thought, there's plenty of people following the clown show that would gladly help if needed.

You have to understand nothing is more biased and unfair to white evangelicals then equal treatment under the law. They can’t get special treatment that way.

Its a 1st amendment violation, The first sentence of the first amendment states the government CANNOT create laws to respect religion. Which means you cannot single out a certain religion and bias it "respect it"

[@azurejester]

I'm not even an atheist. Quite the opposite, really. But I feel like I agreed with most of the things you talked about. Friendly, indeed. I respect your approach. Going by the standard, a Christian is called to be a silent suffering servant, turn the other cheek, pick up one's own cross and follow Jesus, yes? I understand the frustration atheists and agnostics have toward a very loud minority of hateful bigots and idiots. I hope not all religious people are seen that way or compared to them. It's not a monolith or a binary this or that

Why would anyone need to pray outside of an "abortion clinic"? Didn't Jesus himself say that only the prayer made behind the closed door, the private prayer, the non-performative prayer, will be answered??

[@advorak8529]

They are not expecting their prayers to be heard. They know their God will not step in and do anything. They just want to use the shield of their religion to bully everyone else (and not allowed to do so is persecution). Also, sending these foetuses directly to heaven is the most loving thing you can do to them. But that is just ignored. Just like these noxious rich man to heaven and camel through eye of a sewing needle thing.

He’s only contributing to anti-Christian bias. It might help if he wasn’t so hateful, divisive, racist, and dishonest. Pretending you are Christian then not behaving as Christ taught only makes people look down on Christians as hypocrites.
