Well, the only time these folks are interested in separating church and state is when they are trying to avoid paying taxes.

And I would argue they are extremely interested in looting the public treasury to finance their Christo-fascist agenda. They aim to turn our taxes into involuntary tithes.

They are successfully looting public tax dollars to fund their private religious schools through the voucher system.

See my comment above re: tax dollars as involuntary tithes. They aim to do this with everything if they win. Forced religious indoctrination for welfare assistance. Forced religious indoctrination to avoid jail time. Forced religious indoctrination while in jail. Forced religious indoctrination at public school. All paid for by our tax dollars.

Of course…they want the average citizen to fund the next Crusade (look how the previous ones worked out), and, more importantly, a new private jet for some televangelist.

I'll never forget the asshole pastor (in CO, I believe) who stole $1 million from his church treasury to build a mansion for himself, and he claimed "God told me to do it."

I would have been more impressed if he'd taken that $1 million, used it to feed starving people, and then said, "God told me to do it."

I presume this man wound up in prison, giving him plenty of time to beg God for forgiveness...

I saw that too! He's a grifting narcissist. They all are. The are whores of the grift.

Texas Christo Fascists emptied the TNAF fund for low income families for $145 million to give to Christian pregnancy centers. They turned those funds into planes, mansions, cars and expensive vacations. Pregnancy centers do not have any oversight. Mother fuckers!!!

Someday, we're going to try to figure out where these public funds went for "crisis pregnancy centers." It won't be to the centers or the people working in them.

They do carry a very specific and toxic strain.

Yes. I wrote an update about it here, and I added it to my newsletter tomorrow.
