Christians fail to see the irony. How they view the satanic display at the capital building is how most of us view it when we see federal and state buildings displaying Christianity. It’s either all fine or none of it is. Don’t want to be angry? Then keep religion out of politics!
Exactly. It’s a gigantic middle finger to anyone not in their little book club. The gaslighting they do about it - batting their eyes and saying, “but this country was founded on Judeo-xtian principles”, etc - is just icing on the cake for them.
Thank you! I always like to inform xtianists about this. :)
When they go on about how how this country “was founded on xtianity”, I ask them if anyone told Jefferson this “fact” of theirs. When they are like…huh? I tell them about his version of “the” bible, which without question would have been considered a “heresy” he could have been murdered over in other parts of the planet, and during his lifetime.
I also like how these people like to try Thomas Paine erasure; probably because the likes of Teddy Roosevelt called him a “dirty little atheist” - it got even weirder when the likes of Glenn Beck - who is in the LDS - tried to appropriate Paine - I was totally confused by that one, but hey, these guys are great at rewriting history and trying to appropriate things…

Oh, they get it. That’s why they put those displays up in the first place.
