No body is required to give a crap about me
I thought that’s what you meant. I apologize if I misunderstand you.
I’m not really asking people to care about the price of insulin. It’s clear to me it’s not important enough to enough people. Yet. We’re getting older folks.
Don’t know the data but I bet America is skewing older. Don’t know the stats, but many people will need insulin as they age.
I was just giving someone an option to, a hint and idea.
Maybe Satanic groups could take on health care issues. That would help their branding and help get the healthcare crisis in the news. Win win.
Who do you consider to be “Founding Fathers”?? All of the authors of the Constitution were long dead before “In God We Trust” ever appeared on a dollar bill,
I think this post better describes the Flying Spaghetti Monster folks, not the “shocking people” part but certainly the goofy wink-wink-religion-is-silly stuff.
Likewise, quite a lot of the founding fathers were ambivalent-to-hostile about Christianity as a foundation of government.
Quoth James Madison:
During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.
There are lots and lots of quotes like this in the writings of the founding fathers.
Your belief that America was founded as a Christian nation is an invention of Christians to justify weakening the first amendment.
The idea is that if certain types of healthcare are illegal in some places, and if religions are allowed to do things that are otherwise illegal, then maybe certain types of healthcare can be performed during a religious ritual.
And the clinic is hilariously named Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic.
You’re still missing the point. If organized religion would stay in its lane and not try to foist its silliness in schools, laws, town halls, etc., the Satanic Temple wouldn’t even exist.
The lack of sincerity is the point, since they are a bunch of atheists. The Pastafarians do it to make fun of religion, but the Satanic Temple is doing what they do in order to stop religion from encroaching on the rest of us. Pastafarians: Religion is dumb, our religion is dumb, but not any dumber than Christianity. Satanists (from the Satanic Temple): Your religion should stay out of the public sphere, but if you insist on putting it into the public sphere, we insist that we get equal access; not so great when it’s not a religion you agree with, huh.
Regular satanists, who actually worship some supernatural entity, are off-topic for this thread (other than the continued evidence of a branding issue).
The reason for the name has already been posted here, and explained thoroughly on their website. Btw, do you have any other evidence that this country was founded on Christianity now that your “dollar” example has been disproven?
Are you familiar with Joe McCarthy and the HUAC hearings? Because the campaign to add “Under God” to the money was a direct result of the anti-Communist paranoia of the time, a paranoia which destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of innocent Americans. These sorts of “minor” violations of the first amendment rarely arrive on their own: they’re almost always paired with serious attempts at excluding some group of non-Christians (or, occasionally, the wrong kind of Christian) from society.
Are you saying that you are not o.k. with it? Because so far you have done a pretty good job of putting forth long-debunked arguments used by some Christians to defend their encroachments on the separation of Church and State.
