    “This man has got to face his maker and explain why he can’t say ‘Jesus Christ’ is my Lord and savior and I will run my country under his guidelines,” he said during a Newsmax interview at the time.

    This line sent shivers down my spine. Fucking religious zealots.

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”

    How about this for a reason?

      Because they want to control people. Religion has always existed to control them he masses and the GOP is more desperate than ever before to maintain their control over their dwindling voters.

      They want a dictatorship and religion is just another means for them to seize it.

      Just to make it crystal clear, a Christian who is being inaugurated as President will swear a solemn oath, almost certainly with their hand on the Bible, to defend the Constitution.

      Joe Biden, like every President before him, including Trump, swore a solemn oath not to do what John Schneider is insisting upon.

      If a President elect believed what Schneider is suggesting, he would either be unable to take the oath of office, and thus could not ever be President, or he would swear to God that he was telling the truth when he was lying.
