This is also called a totalitarian system and most countries don't like it at all.

Aight... Which God we talking about?

TBF this was the sort of reasoning used by the Pilgrim Fathers - they weren't leaving England to escape fro persecution, they were leaving it to found a community where they could force their religious beliefs on everybody else - so it's not _so_ surprising that it's still present in parts of the US.

What's sad is how many likes he got

Even if you have a totalitarian system, you can't just change people's minds. Even during the Spanish inquisition, many people claimed to accept Christ but still kept their religion (or lack thereof). Stupid idea and impossible to enforce. Get a new hobby. Perhaps you could start with being a better follower of God yourself.

“The First Amendment provides that Congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise. It protects freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the Government for a redress of grievances“

I am a Christian. If you read the bible, you'll see that even Jesus disagrees with this.

I’m a pretty religious person, but I also believe I’m freedom of religion. I may not agree with their beliefs, but I respect their right to others beliefs.

I've got $50 that says this asshat has a "Defend The Constitution" bumper sticker.

Tim the Fool should go live in Saudi Barbaria where belief is the law.

Currently under investigation for Russian collusion.

We should send knights and stuff to enforce it...

No, this is called bullsh*t

I'm not sure anyone in this discussion, or joining this discussion, will ever prove or disprove, their point of view, nor be able to change anyone else's point of view. . .!

Why be concerned? Without God you're screwed, so let the morons die.

Ummm, that's why we have the 1st Admendment

Curious Tim - exactly WHICH God are you referring to?

That literally goes against Christian faith...we believe God gave us free will for a reason, and the way we're getting into heaven is our heart, not following a bunch of rules by force. We're supposed to choose to have faith-

Do you want to turn your country into another North Korea!?

Yet there are so many states where atheism is outlawed and can earn you jailtime. And in some cases... execution.

Ethics aside, this is completely unenforceable. You don't know what people believe. Only what they claim to believe. If they can get severely punished for not believing in your god, the number of people who "believe" is going to go way up, but it does not mean there are any more believers than there were before changing the laws.

thats so irani...amerikkkan

The reason why people are willing to accept fascist nationalism while losing their sh*t over democratic socialism . Correlation/= causation, opinion/=fact, question answers, don't answer questions.

P*ss Pool is now thought policing.

Sad that the person who posted this was obviously doing so to smear anyone right of the extremist progressive left. Because, when you have nothing to offer on the issues, distorting reality to accomplish your goal works just as well, right? How do I know? Because they'd never admit nor show that Tim also posited the opposite of this statement as part of a debate - which perhaps some of you may know - he regularly sets up for and/or from his show where different perspectives, sometimes even unpopular ones, are laid out for open debate.. But here, where all the muppets TAKE THE SMEAR BATE and proceed to trash talk, participants are blasted by psuedo intellectual echoes, with few brave enough to post independent thought, lest they be pummeled by the resultant virtual mob. Well done, minions. Well done.

There are a lot of countries that enforce that rule, though they are probably a bit too warm and worship the wrong god for this guy

NO ONE IS FORCING YOU PEOPLE TO BELEIVE IN GOD!!! FOR F*CKS SAKE!!!
