Christian Nationalists want to teach the Bible in public schools? If they really want that, they should teach Book of Revelation chapter 9, in which Jesus advocates torture as a tool of social control. They could use this book in the curriculum. www.stopchristiannationalism.com/store/p/bibl...

The US military has declared that there are no atheists in its ranks. At the same time, Pete Hegseth prays to Jesus to kill his enemies. American Christianity has become a cult of brutality.

Emotional Freedom Techniques - also known as EFT tapping - is a gimmick used by scammers to take advantage of gullible people. Tapping your face doesn't bring you money or love or mental health. Be good to yourself. Walk away from EFT tapping scams.

Don't become a victim of EFT tapping scams. Tapping your face and mumbling affirmations won't make you rich, won't make you mentally healthy, won't get rid of that bad boyfriend. Emotional Freedom Therapy is New Age mumbo jumbo. Don't fall for it. Get genuine professional help.

The benefits of EFT tapping in the Emotional Freedom Therapy are remarkably... nonexistent. It's empty faith healing. Don't fall for this gimmick. You can't tap your way to health. You already know this is a scam. You're smarter than EFT.

EFT Tapping is snake oil. You don’t create mental health and happiness by obsessively tapping your face. So-called Emotional Freedom Therapy is just a rehashed kind of faith healing. Don’t fall for the gimmick. Say no to EFT Tapping scammers.

EFT tapping is religion. It asks therapists to tell their clients that they have invisible magic energies that do not exist. "Emotional Freedom Therapy" is hocus pocus, not scientifically-valid therapy. Leave EFT to the New Age festivals. Leave EFT out of therapy.

EFT Tapping is based on the belief that tapping your face obsessively while muttering the same phrases over and over is a reliable path to mental health. Emotional Freedom Therapy is snake oil. It's not based on reliable independent science. It's faith healing. We can do better.

The myth that America is a "Christian Nation" is easily debunked. Conservatives forget that people fled religious persecution when they came to America. Below is what's known as the "Danbury Baptist Letter" written by Thomas Jefferson; a hard dose of reality for the right. #fascism #Nationalism
A scanned image of Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists, dated January 1, 1802. The letter is addressed to a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in Connecticut, expressing Jefferson's esteem and approval of their sentiments. He discusses the separation of church and state, emphasizing that religion is a matter between an individual and God, and that the government should not interfere with religious worship. Jefferson affirms his commitment to protecting religious freedom and the rights of conscience, referencing the U.S. Constitution's prohibition against laws establishing religion or restricting free exercise. The letter concludes with Jefferson offering prayers for the protection and blessing of the common father and creator, and extends his respect and esteem to the association. The text is presented in a formal, typed style on a white background.
