A group of conservatives visited the Oval Office on Friday and announced they want to remove a key safeguard for religious freedom in America ― the separation of church and state.

But of course, the main takeaway on social media was how Donald Trump appeared to fall asleep during the meeting.

Members of the Religious Liberty Commission, an organization made up almost entirely of conservative Christians, showed up at the White House to suggest that there should be “bridges” between religion and politics rather than “a wall of separation,” as Thomas Jefferson once wrote.

A group of conservatives? More like a group of nut-jobs. What’s the difference between this group an d jihadis? Asking for a friend.

    Are we really arguing that we should force all Americans to live according to the rules of a delusional death cult that worships torture, human sacrifice, cannibalism, and zombies? Their logo is literally their imaginary spiritual leader being tortured to death.

    They want our children to be indoctrinated into their sick perverse cult in the earliest stages of public education, but they are deathly afraid that those children will go on the Internet and discover that boys and girls have different genitalia.

    “the left used that one phrase to batter and hammer religious leaders for the last 80!”

    The phrase… Seperation of church and state.

    These people are so disconnected from reality.

    Pretty soon hell doze off and not wake up. And his aides are going to have to, in real time, try to cover up the fact the the president died sitting in a room full of people who all told us he was in excellent health.

      Every time he starts dozing, live on tv, I hope this happens. And the likelihood of this happening is high because he is an attention whore, and he has both cankles in the grave already.

        Im betting he closes his eyes and slumps, but nobody does anything because its normal.

        Then after a minute, he falls over with a resounding thump.

        And then the next circus begins.

    Disgusting that this traitor is trying to tear down the wall of separation between church and state that has existed since it’s inception.

    And the treason troll himself can’t even stay awake for it. Amazing.

    Religious Liberty Commission

    These guys always choose such Orwellian names. JFC.

    It’s not “liberty” to impose the rules of your little book club onto everyone else. You already have all the liberty you need to select and follow your own religion. Having to keep it to yourself is not an imposition, but all these toddlers think they are being hemmed in by seeing interest in their book club waning and their position of unwarranted privilege going with it.

      It’s all the same. They want madrasas and they want xtian shariah law.

      The conservatives in both groups only differ on what they call their god (the same one, by the way, since they are both Abrahamic religions - Allah/Yahweh are the same thing) and some rather minor differences in some rituals (which day to worship, what foods are not permitted), and of course the unsubstantiated claims of the supernatural they both make - Jesus was a prophet vs. son of their god, etc.

      But on so many cultural issues they agree. I sure hope neither conservative group ever really figures it out and starts making alliances at the global level.

        Yup, the Canaanite god of war. Big surprise, eh?

    The xtianists are such fucking toddlers. Even when they were hovering around 90% of the country, it wasn’t enough for these assclowns. And now that their numbers are waning, they are chapped that they don’t get everyone in a room to clap and give them a gold star just by merely saying “I’m a good xtian and I accepted Jeeeezus into my heart”.

    These days, about a third of the country just could not give a fuck that you are xtian and are not fooled that being xtian makes someone a good person. And we definitely are not going to clap like trained seals when someone starts up about being a xtian.

    But these people want to compel everyone to clap for someone talking about their “faith”. And they don’t want to do any hard work to entice people over to their side by setting a good example or anything like that, oh no. I’m quite sure some would be very happy to compel church attendance (at the “right” churches of course). See the Seven Mountain Mandate nutcases…

    I’m so tired. But, ironically, most of these dipshits probably didn’t realize the only thing propping up xtian numbers from collapsing even more than they already have was having Hispanic immigration, LOL.
