Reply #39: SCOTUS Justice Scalia said democracy interferes with God's will. [View All]

[JohnOneillsMemory]

And it was important for believers like him to fix that.

He really said this. He believes in the Divine Right of Kings and says that is why government can kill "evil-doers."
(And, I suppose, torture them, too. 'Daddy sez I can torture and kill you so I must obey Him.')

Be very very afraid of this Christo-Fascist psychosis; There are many like him now in the Congress, Senate, and White House AND IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE SPANISH INQUISITION IN RED-WHITE-AND-BLUE.


Here's what Torquemada/Scalia wrote in 2002 for a speech called 'God's Justice and Ours' about the 'validity' of the death penalty.

"The reaction of people of faith to this tendency of democracy to obscure the divine authority behind government should not be resignation to it, but the resolution to combat it as effectively as possible.

We have done that in this country (and continental Europe has not) by preserving in our public life many visible reminders that—in the words of a Supreme Court opinion from the 1940s—“we are a religious people, whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being.” These reminders include: “In God we trust” on our coins, “one nation, under God” in our Pledge of Allegiance, the opening of sessions of our legislatures with a prayer, the opening of sessions of my Court with “God save the United States and this Honorable Court,” annual Thanksgiving proclamations issued by our President at the direction of Congress, and constant invocations of divine support in the speeches of our political leaders, which often conclude, “God bless America.”

All this, as I say, is most un–European, and helps explain why our people are more inclined to understand, as St. Paul did, that government carries the sword as “the minister of God,” to “execute wrath” upon the evildoer."
