We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
Every president has been Christian. Hell, I bet you could find instances of most of them quoting the bible. None of them tried that.
Why would that change now?
If this dude is "just another christian" then you're as crazy as the bible is false.
The establishment clause does not call for a separation of church and state
Takes less than 10 seconds of googling to find out this is false:
By it, the federal government of the United States and, by later extension, the governments of all U.S. states and U.S. territories, are prohibited from establishing or sponsoring religion
The Establishment Clause is a limitation placed upon the United States Congress preventing it from passing legislation establishing an official religion, and by interpretation making it illegal for the government to promote theocracy or promote a specific religion with taxes. The Free Exercise Clause prohibits the government from preventing the free exercise of religion. While the Establishment Clause does prohibit Congress from preferring one religion over another, it does not prohibit the government's involvement with religion to make accommodations for religious observances and practices in order to achieve the purposes of the Free Exercise Clause.

Just stop man. You’re embarrassing yourself.
My god you’re embarrassing! It’s almost adorable!
Please do not name call. It's part of rule 1. Consider this a warning.
For the record, where was their warning when they said the other person “looked silly?” or are we showing a bias?
EDIT: Yeah. I thought as much.
Here's some more language that the Christians in the room should understand: wolf in sheep's clothing.
