       Such fake quotes are part of a campaign by some on the political right to challenge a traditional value of the American political system — separation of church and state —and have the US officially proclaimed as a “Christian nation.” https://www.npr.org/2023/02/14/1156642544/more-than-half-of-republicans-support-christian-nationalism-according-to-a-new-s

       @w7voa very clearly directed against people of other religions, i.e Jews. In character with the Virginian’s goals.

       @w7voa I once attended a seminar at Glasgow University at which an American philosophy of religion PhD candidate argued convincingly that, since religious people often disagree, the best system of government for a theocrat to live in is a secular democracy!

       @Peternimmo @w7voa I used to be a Christian. Now I am an atheist. But I was then and am now a secularist. A secular state is the best guarantee of liberty for all believers and non-believers alike.But of course theocrats have no problem with religious persecution. They just want it to be their religion doing the persecutin'.

       @w7voa so bogus. I left this movement (theonomy/Christian reconstruction) 22 years ago and can’t believe the extent of my blindness. Of course I’ve since realized people were exploiting me for money.

       @jillrhudy @w7voa it takes a lot of strength and decency to recognize you're on a messed up path and find a better one. Props to you

       @w7voa Perhaps it just runs in the family since his wife is facing possible sanctions over misrepresentation in a recent Supreme Court case. https://www.newsweek.com/erin-hawley-supreme-court-case-1810419
