Ariz. lawmakers want to ban ‘Satanic’ displays on public property – but keep the Christian ones
- Thread starter THE_DEVIL

Won t be long where religion can endorse a political candidate and keep their tax exemptions. Oh wait
Its a win either way for me.
Obviously these “bills” are just protests metastasizing in the form of proposed legislation. The people writing them know they will go nowhere.
But the fact that someone with a law degree has to spend time writing the language and then review it with others and then submit it for others to review is ridiculous.
Should legislators be scored on frivolous legislation introduced and that information be printed on a ballot come re-election time?
Example - John Doe for State House District 14 has spent 12 years in office and has had 2 bills where he was sponsor pass but also sponsored 5 bills that were tossed out.

Proposed bill would ban public displays of Satan worship in Iowa
Seems kinda unconstitutional to me: A proposed bill would ban public displays of Satan worship in Iowa. It stems from the display of a pagan idol that was put up late last year at the Statehouse in Des Moines. Advertisement The statue was brought to...

So instead of just letting it be, these lawmakers put a spotlight on the issue they don't like. Seems like a great way to protest this is to make more displays of the kind they are trying to ban. Well done politicians.
No it's just the Alternative Constitution.
Republicans still not doing any legislating and just trying to keep the fringe elements happy.
Yup. they know it won't work, but they also know it placates the rubes that send them money and keep them in office.
"At least he's trying to do SOMETHING!!"
Evangelicals and MAGA are very similar in their believe structure. It doesn't matter how much evidence you show them or how their beliefs conflict with the norm they are still correct.
Which gives them more things to fundraise for. They're not dumb, they're just despicable.
What's most ridiculous is that politicians do this to gain/retain support among their voters, who believe that assaulting the religious freedoms of others while favoring their own is good policy. These self-proclaimed "real Americans" long for an authoritarian theocracy, with absolutely no sense of irony.
Usually these proposals come from local yokels trying to make a name for themselves by splashing their stupid grandstanding efforts on to the national scene. It may work occasionally (see Kari Lake, et. al.) but eventually they are smoked out for the intellectual lightweights they actually are.
It plays well to the low information crowd of knuckle-draggers though.

This is why the Evangelicals freak me out more than most groups. I was full on in that group up until my mid to late 20's. It's 100% a cult in my opinion but goes under the radar due to their ability to kind of blend into a "modern" Christian movement. They have their own separate pop culture at this point, it's wild.
