They’ll just do what demonRATs in Oklahoma do, viz. run as Republicans and corrupt from within.
This will be an interesting test case.
Bravest and most Conservative Governor of this millennium...
...perhaps the greatest Governor of all (USA) time.
I don’t think he’ll win this one. I’m not even sure he should win - the principle of the government deciding what religions are valid/real is problematic. But it’s good politics for him.
Tomorrow some California governor could say Evangelical Christianity is not a real religion. It is just right wing politics.
There’s more than one viable argument here.
One is that satanism is not a religion as is claimed here. This is strong in that satanism opposes the universal moral principles found in every other religion.
Another argument is that satanism is the enemy of God, on which the Constitution is based and therefore satanism is the enemy of our Constitution.
Post #7 above points out that satanism can’t be a religion because its principles oppose the universal moral values of all religions.
I should have said:
“Satanism opposes the universal moral principles found in all religions.”
In this case the Satanists themselves say they aren’t worshipping anything...in other words, they admit they aren’t a religion by stating they don’t worship..
That’s not to say unaffiliated Satanists groups aren’t...
I think the late Judge Bork addressed this type of issue in his book Slouching Towards Gomorrah and had some very interesting legal arguments against lawfare style extremism and their “living constitution” that changes with the winds.
Agreed.
God is not mentioned in the constitution.
I call it anti-religion.
“Satanism” is just secular humanism for Drama Club kids. They don’t actually believe in any diety.
He has come a long way in my eyes in making up for his Presidential run gaffe. He needs to be certain his ties are severed of any even slightly globalist connections. My hope is that he is the Conservative we're going to need in '28. I give my utmost respect for some of the stuff he has done since refocusing on Florida.
If that is the case, then this is an example of why “religion” should not be promulgated at all in gov.
Besides satanism, it begs the question of allowing Moslem principles in the gov sphere. No thanks.
As with everything else, communists will use these principles against the republic’s proper government. Make it so they can’t.
Better read your constitution again.
I don’t believe in a diety either.
We don’t accept Druids who worship trees, nutty students who worship ‘Mother Earf’, and spiritualists who talk with the dead... among many others,
DeSantis doesn’t let anything the left throws out there get past him. The guy is conservative gold.
