Should people who worship a God, any God, be barred from holding public office?

Religious zealots spend a lot of time talking and singing to their respective Gods.
Such behaviour is a form of insanity whereby people think they're communicating with some imaginary, silent and seemingly very shy entity whom their parents told them exists, becomes dangerous, ''EXTREMELY DANGEROUS'' when God starts speaking back to them.
In recent times many murders have been unashamedly committed in the name of Allah and as the threat of more assassinations to come looms ominously over all of us many people live in fear.
Should this be allowed.

I feel that there is a strong probably that some IMBECILE like Biden, THE UNCHALLENGED KING OF IMBECILES will, sooner or later imagine that GOD told him/her in a dream to nuke the enemies of God, whichever God that my be.

When that happens we're all going to hell in a basket.

The Christian Bible claims that God spoke to Moses on Mount Siani and told him to go to the people and tell them to wash their clothes.

How could anyone who believes such nonsense, along with the rest of the Biblical madness be considered suitable to be in control of doomsday weapons and to make rational decisions which impact on millions of people?

And?

Well, our only other option is a group of atheists who think they are birds, are confused by gender and think words are violence and that violence is not violence.

By the way, are people who believe in god qualified to be doctors? If not, I hope you know how to do surgery on yourself.

Even most scientists believe in a god or higher power.

Maybe it's just people like you who are not qualified. Do us all a favor. Don't't run for office, don't be a scientist and don't be a doctor. Our lives depend on it.

Atheists simply believe that the present array of fanciful man-made Gods are nothing more than the relics of a bygone era of ignorance and primitive superstition.

Science has replaced these mythical notions with knowledge and enlightenment.

Instead of trying to desperately push against the ever advancing frontiers of science we should enthusiastically embrace the knowledge with which it provides us.

When the recent floods devastated the crops in Pakistan THE FAITHFUL prayed to their God, and not unsurprisingly, the Cosmos Charger did nothing.

So, the Pakistani government asked for help from the more secular and scientifically advanced nations of the world.

Does that not tell you something?

There are many qualified doctors and surgeons who profess to believe in a God.

Well, good on them, but if they really believe the hocus pocus of an omnipotent SKYMASTER zooming around the countless galaxies I only hope that none of their type are charged with caring for my health and welfare.

Such physicians are no more that latter day witch-doctors.

Hello N:

Sure. For the reasons you cited, of course they should be barred.. But we can't leave it at just "barring". They won't be content sitting on the sidelines, and you know they'll find a way to infiltrate our ranks once again. No.. They gotta be done away with.

So you plan on wiping out blacks and Hispanics? I'd say I was surprised, but I'm not.

Hello my friends...

Words STILL matter.. I don't PLAN on doing anything... Time, all by itself, will take care of it.

Religion happened because people thought it HAD the "answer".. It's only recently that we found out religion DIDN'T have the answer, or anything close.. Since then, religion has been in steady decline..

I repeat.. Anybody who thinks skyman is running things, should NEVER, EVER be handed the levers and dials of government..

Sound thinking there number 1.

''Doing away with the nuts'' would involve having to come up with some foolproof way of getting rid of the bodies.

Feeding them to starved pigs after extracting and grinding up their teeth into an easily disposable power is my proposal.

Right, that's it.

What? I a hope you are joking. Fixing religion seems a better option at this point. For example passing mandatory vaccines laws that only allow medical exemptions. Religious exemptions for vaccines acts like an easy loop hole for vaccine hesitant people.

Wow, that certainly opened a can of worms.

Now let us bow our heads in reverence, and beg our Lord God in heaven for forgiveness for the sins which we committed yesterday and will commit again today.

Hallelujah brother, hallelujah.

Eventually, about 100 years from now I agree.

I'm not a fan of Christianity nor any other mainstream religion, nor am I fan of the heavy handed new atheist movement. Religious trauma syndrome alone is enough to keep the pressure on theists. Yet, humans are predisposed to religion due to patternicity from evolutionary psychology.

Therefore, we are not going to get rid of religion within our lifetimes. It may be easier to fix religion. For example, take precautions to prevent sexual abuse.

Some would even argue the rise in conspiracy thinking is due to the void the new atheist movement created. Humans seems to need to believe in something big, but also important to them. Both religion and conspiracies fulfill this feeling of helpfulness.

In conclusion, I think such a proposal would be declaring war on over half the world's population and thus unfeasible.

What exactly is "conspiracy thinking"? Conspiracies have always happened and will continue to happen.

Recently however, they have been weaponized by the alt right. Traditionally, conspiracies needed some form of evidence to support them. Since Trump however, it has become somewhat acceptable to just make shit up.

There a long series of articles on the Atlantic called the Shadowlands if you want to learn more. Conspiracy theories are the realm of the intellectual scoundrel. Con artists use conspiracy theories and thinking to easily explain away any doubts.

Hmm, why haven't I heard about this miracle cure for cancer? Conspiracy the cabal suppressed all the evidence.

Car engines that run on water, that seems impossible?

Conspiracy that is exactly what the cabal wants you to think.

I was summonsed to Mount Rushmore where the Lord God Almighty had possessed the image of George Washington who told me to Nuke the Russian bastards who are waging war on the Ukrainians.

After a few puffs on his cigar he added that it would be a good idea to go and sort out all our enemies in the same manner.

You voted for the guy, so I really don't know what to tell you. Maybe you just should not vote.

So you're admitting people did vote for Biden now? Because you've been telling people for the last two years that nobody voted for him and the election was fixed. I do wish you silly stormtroopers would stick to the same story.

Sure. Ban people who worship the state as God should be banned from office. Looks like the left is screwed.

Say what you like about Democrats, but at the end of the day Republicans are traitors to democracy. They sold out all their values years ago to wealthy corporations and private capital.

They sold out all their values

And which values would those be?

years ago to wealthy corporations and private capital.

Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Disney and solar panel companies are all worshipped by the left. All are owned by billionaires. And in fact, the left just mandated a vaccine jab, which made big pharma (also billionaires) more money than at any time in history.

Republicans are traitors to democracy

America isn't a democracy, but is a constitutional republic. So which democracy did we sell out exactly?
