    What do you call a tax on alcohol and cigarettes?

    When can you buy alcohol in the state of Utah? Or even the great alcoholic city of Chicago (hint: not before 11am on the Lord’s day)

    What phrase is printed on our money of who we trust?

    Yes, a judge will call you out if you explicitly cite the Bible, so instead just cite a law that is based off of a biblical viewpoint of the world.

    Again, these are not de jure laws. It is de facto. It’s the worst kept secret of our country. Convincing us otherwise is a brilliant play by y’All Qaeda.

      A private business will follow whatever social norms it wants. Just as 24 hour liquor stores are busy at that time because Cash. Is. King.

      The phrase on money was adopted fairly recently.

      If you want to drink quickly while fishing invite a Mormon. If you want to drink slow, invite two Mormons.

      You are attempting to push the narrative this is a Christian nation. It is not. Our secularism and diversity is what makes us different from the rest. Science deniers don’t understand, create or maintain advanced technology.

      Yes, many of our population may identify as religious but they are not pious like the Jewish or Muslim population.

      Even “Christian” is an umbrella tern to inflate their numbers because the number of warring Christian Sects is so large.

      Yes, YallQaeda, con men and the AM DJ may be pushing this false narrative but so are YOU.

      Edit: I’m done with this fool, they keep editing their comments. Typical deceitful BS. It’s obvious they live in the rust belt and not modern America.

        I’m done with this debate, they keep editing their comments. Typical deceitful BS. It’s obvious they live in the rust belt and not modern America.

        Weren’t you just doing that a few days ago? Oh, the irony.

      That’s why I insist on saying it all the time: we are founded as a secular nation, and we need to start acting like it. Don’t let one of them claim otherwise.

      The non-xtians are some of the least represented in this country and yet, it’s something like 1/3 of the country. It’s crazy.

        Totally agree. The idea, and what we should be, is a secular nation. My take is that the christo-fascist takeover isn’t coming- it’s here. We are no longer on defense, we have to take back the country from these numbnuts.
