In a stunningly blatant rejection of the basic founding principles of our nation, former Trump National Security Advisor and Lieutenant General Mike Flynn told a “ReAwaken America” conference in San Antonio "If we are going to have one nation under God, which we must, we have to have one religion," adding that means "One nation under God, and one religion under God."
Well, as disturbing as that proclamation may sound, we should at least give Gen. Flynn credit for one thing, saying what are used to be “the quiet parts” - right out loud. Of course, Flynn is not alone in his “only one religion for America” brand of thinking. We now have at least five Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices who would fully be on board with everything Flynn just said.
Now, while I’m no religious scholar, my guess is that the sole religion Gen. Flynn believes should be ruling this nation is the “Church of the Latter Day President.” That church is headed up by an infallible “Orange Savior.” You remember the “Orange Savior” don’t you? He was the one who was “baptized” with the “yellow holy water,” by those two Russian hookers in that Moscow hotel room back in 2013. All very Christ-like.
And, while some folks may find the concept of one “official” US religion a bit scary, it’s important to remember that under Evangelical Fundamentalist Republican rule, we’ll all finally be completely free - to do exactly what they tell us to do. What will this new “Official US Religion” look like you ask? Well, God will no longer need to bother forgiving us for our sins, he’ll instead - simply issue pardons.
