Canāt reasonable people agree to disagree? I might suggest I could accept your proposal if you could PROVE IT. However, I would rather club you over the head with a little principle titled āseparation of church and stateā. My liberty to be free of YOU and your Gawd stems from the ballot and the National Defense System. I got no obligation to honor your religious precepts. You and your religious precepts can go to YOUR Hell. Is there really a need to assert where our liberties originate? If they truly came from God, then no army could take them away, and there would be no need to codify them in a Constitution. I would argue that is prima facie evidence that they explicitly come from the Constitution, and not Your Gawd. BTW, I havenāt got a clue as to what you mean by the term āGodā. I bet you cannot even define the term.

Well VanHuss (good name for a prepper) only mentions G-d, not His son, who had strong views about the separation of Church and State.

Eerily, his Derpship looks to be featured in front of a Japanese WWII internment facility.
Maybe something like that is whatās in store for ānon-believersā

Which God is that? And could we please have the evidence that makes you think so?

Why do these people even run for office? They seem to have a real issue with holding the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the land, and nothing else. Iām not saying they canāt believe that as far as their personal lives go, but why take a job thatās going to run in direct opposition to your beliefs?
I and some others meet up regular with Gā¦ at the local coffee drinkporium.
Gā¦'s mentioned this dude; canāt remember which day exactly. but recent. Gā¦ called him a āreal pizzle stickā, and said Heād be moving in His usual mysterious ways to have TDS writing staff do up a bit on āthe Tennessee Dudā (coulda been āPudā; gets pretty noisy at the Brokedown Cafe Mountain). Heās hoping for cowboy-themed; Gā¦'s a big fan of dude ranches and John Ford flicks.

Definitely someplace in the inter-mountain West. Eastern California or maybe Nevada. I used to work in this region of the world; a real kind of āEdenā for survivalists and other Bat-shit, anti-social crazies who like to hang out in abandoned mining camps.

Yessir, our liberties come from God. However, the consequences for misjudging them comes from dumbass.

This guy sounds like one of those right-wing ānatural lawā fetishists; i.e. such laws are immanent in nature and can be ādiscoveredā or āfoundā but not ācreatedā by such things as a bill of rights [-Wikepedia].
Speaking of the āblack cat analogyāā¦

Jesus answered, āMy kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.ā John 18:36
It would be nice if the christianist element in the GOTP would stop using God for their political purposes. Hitler did the same by stating āGott Mit Unsā.
I donāt think that God is a Tea Party member. I also donāt think he is a Democrat.
If we have free will, then God does not involve himself in our affairs.

All to be able to use religion as a cudgel against others.
Canāt see any other need to codify it.
Religion is for those who require it.
Just wish theyād leave the rest of us out of it.

Sadā¦and Tennessee too, sad and laughable that someone can be elected to their legislature and have so little knowledge and understanding of American and Tennessee history. With āGod, our Creator and Saviorā VanHuss, additionally and most worrisome for his immortal soul, seems to be denying the personhood of Jesus and the miracle of the unity of three beings within the Trinity, if memory servesā¦
Once, while driving from the West Coast to Minnesota, taking an ill-advised short-cut, I looked down at the dash and realized that I was OUT of fuel. My options (and this was in the days before cell-phones) were (a) to stop in a town which looked exactly like the setting you describe (b) keep driving and pray.
I chose (b), knowing that the Interstate (with more varied customers looking for fuel) was about 30 miles off. I made it and never for a minute doubted the wisdom of my actions.

You think God has time to pick favorites? I mean, after making it possible for an infinite number of angels to spin for all eternity in infinity, and turning an uncountable number of galaxies on their axis, youād think there might be a little attention left over to pay to the mundane and humdrum goings on of political movements, and decide which one the genderless so and so actually prefers. I donāt think I would feel much devotion towards a God that played favorites and had biases; that would remind me too much of my 7th grade teacher, Mrs. Boyette, who loved the girls, and hated the boys. She was arbitrary as hell. Is arbitrariness a Divine attribute?
