I OFFERED THE FOLLOWING SHORT ANSWER TO A QUESTION I WAS ASKED ON QUORA.COM: WHAT IS A "SECULAR STATE."

A “SECULAR STATE” in general, is a form of Government that does not allow Religious Faith or Dogma to be the basis for its Social or Legal System.

That does not mean that there is no RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, but that FREEDOM is for personal Worship, and is not ALLOWED TO BECOME PUBLIC POLICY.

A System of ETHICS AND MORAL ABSOLUTES IS CREATED APART FROM FAITH BASED SYSTEMS. WHY? RELIGIOUS FAITH, BY ITS VERY NATURE, IS ACCEPTED WITHOUT QUESTION. There is no need to justify it to others, for the belief itself is not questioned by the individual.

Certain Concepts, such as the Idea of HUMAN OR CITIZEN RIGHTS, MANIFESTED IN LAWS THAT CREATE SUCH ETHICAL “GOODS” as Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Choice, Freedom to Assemble.,etc, cannot be guaranteed, or in some cases even allowed, IN A FAITH-BASED SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT.

QUITE SIMPLY, IN A SECULAR STATE ALL EXISTING LAWS CAN BE CREATED OR ALTERED BY THE GENERAL CIVIL POPULATION. IN A FAITH-BASED SYSTEM THAT POWER EXISTS ONLY WITH THE RELIGIOUS HIERARCHY.

ANOTHER SHORT MESSAGE ON TWITTER.

 

HERE IS THE TWEET.:

@SpeakerMcCarthy

Don't you dare back off on a promise made to the people!

You have no right to protect the criminal cartel running the federal government and you know it! Put Ray Epps and Nancy Pelosi in jail where they fully belong!You need to answer all of U.S.

MY RESPONSE:

Hey GOP Trumpians, the party could have asked for the footage at any time, and still can. You, Fascists, know very well that if this comes before a committee that the Democrats have every right to examine the same film(s). Your Treason will be exposed even further.

TRUMPIAN TRAITORS ARE DESPERATE TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT THE GOP COULD HAVE ACCESS TO ANY FOOTAGE POSSESSED BY THE GOVERNMENT ON THE JAN.6TH, INSURRECTION. HOWEVER, THAT MEANS THAT ALL PARTIES CAN EXAMINE AND TEST THE VISUAL EVIDENCE. (Like that footage provided by the JAN,6TH, COMMITTEE.)

THIS IS THE KIND OF PHOTOSHOPPED PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT TWITTER ALLOWS TO BE PUBLISHED UNCRITICALLY.

PEOPLE HAVE ASKED ME WHY I AM STILL ON TWITTER. WELL, IT IS TO CONTINUE TO EXPOSE THIS KIND OF "TWEET" THAT MIGHT CATCH A NEW SUBSCRIBER UNAWARE AS TO THE POLICY OF PUBLISHING ANYTHING YOU WANT, WITH NO EDITORIAL CONTROLS.

This obviously Doctored Fake was let through, no questions asked. 

Not to give it much room, I responded: 

Of course, you can produce the original right? Or the e-mail server it came from? What happened, did it take 2.5 years to become desperate enough to use this piece of garbage.

ON THIS PRESIDENTS DAY: TWO QUOTES FROM THE LAST TWO OCCUPANTS OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

 FIRST BARACK OBAMA:

NOW DONALD TRUMP:

''...Pressed again to “commit to making sure that there’s a peaceful transferal of power,” Trump responded, “Get rid of the ballots and...we’ll have a very peaceful—there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation."

ANY QUESTIONS?
