The think there’s this vast conspiracy in America to overturn the Christian heritage of the past and they will find it even in the smallest of spaces.

It's led by some mysterious guy named Theta, and our public schools are teaching his sines and cosines..... Can you believe it? It's believed they are sending secret messages in a pi.

Same exact comments under NJ Governments posts.

Two things I see on Threads and Facebook:

Jasmine Crockett is the Establishment.
Something something something Ramadan but not Ash Wednesday.

They are getting orders from somewhere.

Of course, she would hem and haw and point out things that are being used at flimsy excuses for their declaration.

Spoiler Alert: It does not say anything about it, just that we are 'endowed by our creators'. Which means a number of things, but it does not specifically mean Yaweh.

When I pointed out the US is NOT a Christian nation he quickly responded with 'what about One Nation, under God?' to which I replied,
'that's the Pledge of Allegiance and not added until 1954 because of the Communists'
He didn't have anything to say.............

God is a generic title; an impersonal expression that's meant to be all-inclusive.
Ancient cultures from all over the world had their own names for God, and most referred to Gods and Goddesses that ruled over different aspects of creation.
One nation under God simply acknowledges that most people in the United States worship some form of Divine Creator.
We are a diverse nation of hundreds of cultures, many that acknowledge God in ways far different than the Christians do.
To say we are a Christian Nation is the height of spiritual arrogance and stupidity.

So we could show those commies were not such godless atheists. Well, I am an atheist. I don’t say under God in that pledge, and “endowed by your creator” to me means my mom, she gave me my rights and she was my creator. I go along with Gandhi “I like your Christ, but I don’t like your Christians”

may be surprised to learn that the followers of Islam and of Judaism are worshiping the same deity as the Christians.
That's why the three religions are referred to as The Abrahamic religions.

No one knows when or where, other than it hatched in the Sea, because eggs have different hatching schedules - so as far as my family knows, there's not an official celebration for it other than living life the best one can on a daily basis.
As for religion -
As the Norse settlers commented to the Anglo-Saxon and Roman-British Christians (post looting) - "We like your White God, the one you call Jesus. He's a gift-giver, not stingy like some other gods are."

So they're either dealing with a British version of MAGA, or the regular MAGA whose knowledge of geography is no better than their knowledge of the constitution.
