Why are Republicans so accepting of Christian extremism that violates US values of freedom?

I'd be interested to know where your family is from/where these Catholics live.

I grew up in an area where Catholics were a minority. Evangelicals, especially Southern Baptists, were the dominant religious group. I think a lot of conservative Catholics who have not been directly exposed to anti-Catholic sentiment in the evangelical church would be very surprised to hear the rhetoric.

NJ/NY suburbs. Raised in ethnic neighborhoods they all fled for life in the expensive suburbs with better schools and the opportunity to own their own property. I've told them countless times that the Evangelicals march to the beat of a different drum and do not accept them as they're not "saved." They never left their northeastern suburbs and spent time in the Deep South.

PP here. Same as my in-laws on Long Island. They have zero experience with the people they actually think they have something in common with. It's fascinating.

No, we have, that’s the issue, and it’s why that group is being removed from campuses.

Really, didn’t know they were being removed.

Also folks like Hegseth who tweeted support of his church leaders saying that the 19th amendment should be repealed and women should not be able to vote. Also against homosexuality.

And yet, Republicans will say Islam is incompatible with US culture for having submissive views toward women and homosexuality.

Seems like utter hypocrisy.

Shouldn't we espouse the US as a FREE country and condemn any religious extremism that would infringe on our personal freedoms?

Take your holy war back to the Old World we don't need yer' kind around here. No, I don't want to accommodate your beliefs or work at your businesses. More and more as society frays with "multiculturism" and your global corporations take away more and more of our traditions without replacing them, the more and more I like the de facto Christianity. For example, I enjoy Saturday and Sunday off. What do Capitalists do when they have Muslims working for them? They try to take away Sunday.

A question for you. Why can't you align your beliefs Friday vs. Sunday. Seems like a deep problem to me if it makes you upset to have Sunday off instead of Friday. I'm sorry I can't help you with that kind of delusion. At the end of the day I'm not Christian, but seriously why do I have to have some religious beliefs to get a day off work?

Like said at the beginning take your' holy war back where you came from we don't do that around here. Look at the middle east, Africa. Point me to an Islam country that is like wow, I want to live there as a non-believer. I can't think of one. Maybe Indonesia.

Maybe the billionaire pedophiles and sex trafficking lawyers that brought you here so you can butter their toast, maybe they like you, but...

PP here. Seems like Project 2025 is using people such as them to gain support and with that, of course, votes. Once the “Christians” get what they want they’ll turn on all those who aren’t “saved” and see them as subhumans or just enemies who need to convert or suffer consequences (time will tell what those consequences will be, maybe the alternate history novel Fatherland offers some suggestions).

You don't get Saturday and Sunday off because of Christianity. You have a weekend because of unions. Union workers died for you to have that weekend. It was not given to you benevolently by the Christian capitalists. Learn your history.

Nobody is taking away Sat/Sun. A progressive stance is to actually move to a 4 day work week.

Also as someone who has worked in healthcare staffing, diverse religions/cultures are super helpful so that people can get their desires days and holidays off. Hospitals are 24/7 so people who are willing to work Saturdays or Sundays are quite helpful.

You are free to work for a business that suits your needs. If you want to work M-F, then choose a workplace that accommodates that. Don't be a first responder or work for a grocery store though and think you can get Sundays off.

I remember you from another old thread, you are bat sh*t crazy angry about some personal workplace experience with a Muslim or some other religion boss who didn't accommodate your personal day off needs and will dominate the thread with your single personal anecdote.

I will start reporting your comments if you keep spamming about your anecdote.

So yeah, basically I can't recommend working for an Islam employer. Frankly, I don't understand why these people come here, and their perspective is one that I don't think really helps anything.

Like I don't particularly care to go to Church or anything, but I don't go around trying to normalize my beliefs by calling them hypocrites.

And in Islam the direct translation of "non-believer" is slave.
