I still prefer Christianity to atheism. Both are religions but atheism is far more destructive.
BTW, ridiculous statement by Flynn. This is America.
I prefer atheism to Christianity. No one kills people in the name of atheism, unlike Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, and even some Buddhists in the name of their religion.
(And yes, atheists like Stalin and Pol Pot killed millions... but not in the name of atheism. BTW, the favorite trope of Hitler being atheist is wrong... he was a devout Christian.)
There is only one God and Jews and Christians serve the same God. It is the God of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob. Christians have been grafted into the Jewish religion by faith. One God, One religion.
Jews and Muslims serve the same G-d. Christians have instead chosen to follow a messiah who did not fulfill the prophecies G-d put forth.
Leave us Jews out of whatever you're selling, please. You're not "grafted into the Jewish religion." You're the unauthorized sequel.
Said Flynn: “If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion. One nation under God, and one religion under God.”
Wow.
This guy’s a little too close to General Jack D. Ripper to my liking.
Just another tweet from someone who needs media attention.
What he said is a bit confusing and not really clear. It's kind of open-ended. He didn't say one specific religion and God could be taken to mean a lot of things. Budda, Allah, God ... they all mean the same thing. A higher deity, although given the audience it could be inferred that he meant Christianity.
In any case, I disagree with this kind of preaching. The U.S. was founded in part on the freedom of religion or rather the freedom from religion, which at the time was the oppressive Church of England.
I think that he was largely preaching to the choir here. It's his opinion and doesn't mean much more than that. It's not going to change anything with regards to how one worships or not, and what one's beliefs are if they have any.
No, what he said was perfectly clear and he even repeated it so as to ensure everyone knew what he said wasn't simply misspeaking.

We have to have one religion. There's really nothing that's unclear or confusing about it whatsoever. Crystal clear, repeated just to enusre nobody could possibly think his stuttering and having a difficult time making words come out meant he just misspoke and accidentally had some words come out he didn't mean.
He can come back it was all a mistake and I didn't mean to say we must have only one religion and I misspoke, twice. Personally I doubt many people would believe him. The better tact would probably to say something like I didn't think through the implications of what I was saying. It was wrong and I apologize. That is, of course, unless he meant exactly what he said both times he said it. We have to have religon.

Somebody said something. Acknowledged. Somebody did something that affects our nation. Ignored. Priorities people. See spud joe posts for details, and quit ignoring what you have unleashed.
Interested to see how the conservatives here on City-Data feel about this.
Does the C-D Trump crowd feel that Christianity should be the one and only religion in America?
I'm conservative. See post #35.
