re: #48 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Even if it is struck down by US courts, the day is soon coming when the religious right will no longer care about what US law says.

That’s why so many of them have been drawn to Trump. He really is the embodiment of what they believe.

The old religious creeds are just functionaries, a way of forcing people to agree to the in-crowd.

Just a reminder, the Nicene Creed was proposed as a statement of faith at last week’s Southern Baptist Convention. It never came up for a vote, in part because Baptists have historically been anti-creedal. And because there are more than a few Baptist pastors who hold a view of the Trinity that is sub-Arian (the whole reason for the Nicene Creed in the first place). Explaining this would take a long time, but Jesus has to be subordinate to the Father, and because of that, women have to be subordinate to men.

I wish I was kidding. I am not.
