#AskAbbott Why don't you believe in 1st Amendment, only 2nd? You violate our religious freedom imposing your religion as law. Taliban much?

Oh.my... “
@GregAbbott_TX: .@SCWTA -- I believe in freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion & won that fight in court.#AskAbbott” -
@tornandra@GregAbbott_TX@SCWTA Wow. I can't be free from someone else's religion. Would this still be true if the someone else was Muslim? -
@cthulhuchan@tornandra@GregAbbott_TX No. And obviously you don't have the right to be Muslim, either. -
@SCWTA@tornandra@GregAbbott_TX I know, I know, dumb question -- Christianity, flavor Protestant American, is the only one that counts. -
@cthulhuchan@GregAbbott_TX That's not even protestant. Anti-sex, sex education, birth control & anti-abortion is Catholic. :/ -
@SCWTA@GregAbbott_TX These days, it's every vocal conservative Protestant. Who, apparently, we don't have the right to be free from. Pity. -
@cthulhuchan@GregAbbott_TX It's crazy, because I can't be actual Protestant because of people who think it's some weird Catholicism? -
@SCWTA@GregAbbott_TX Well, Protestants do come in many flavors, since the whole point was for individuals to create their own path to God. - 1 more reply

@GregAbbott_TX@SCWTA You overturned the separation clause in the First Amendment? When?#AskAbbott -
@THEJordonBrown@GregAbbott_TX@SCWTA there is no 'separation clause' in the First Amendment nor the Constitution.It's a SCOTUS construction -
@AnnaDsays@GregAbbott_TX@SCWTA Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of a religion... It's actually the first words. -
@THEJordonBrown@GregAbbott_TX@SCWTA You are speaking of the "separation of church and state". The ESTABLISHMENT clause is what you quoted -
@AnnaDsays@THEJordonBrown@GregAbbott_TX according to Madison who wrote the establishment clause it creates separation of church & state. -
@AnnaDsays Being patronizing doesn't help your cause, and I have infinite more faith in James Madison than you. Have a nice life.

@GregAbbott_TX@SCWTA Establishment Clause as interpreted by SCOTUS in Everson v Board disagrees w/ you. You have a law degree?#AskAbbott -
@tiffanyclay@GregAbbott_TX James Madison who wrote 1st Amendment had law degree, and he said freedom of religion is freedom from religion. -
@SCWTA@GregAbbott_TX Jefferson also agreed, saying a wall of separation should exist b/w church & state.#AskAbbott - 1 more reply

@Kimberly_Janee
@ChynnaBlue5@GregAbbott_TX@SCWTA So does that mean ppl in TX not free to be atheists? -
@onthebird @Kimberly_Janee@ChynnaBlue5@GregAbbott_TX it means we're not free to not be whatever Abbott says. -
@SCWTA@onthebird@ChynnaBlue5 yep, in@GregAbbott_TX's perfect world... what an awful world that would be.
