…econd in line to the presidency and the potential role he could play in the 2024 election. However, Johnson’s feelings about porn are every bit as important, as they are inextricably linked to his belief that the Bible should be the sole legitimate source for public policy and that the United States is a “biblical” republic.

By Stephanie Frank

…in support of monarchist politics, it is unsurprising that when the Third Republic was established in 1870, it set out against the Church. The Third Republic reinstituted several of the Revolution’s church-state reforms, rolling back Napoleon’s Concordat of 1801.

When the Golden Rule is Used to Silence Dissent and Protect the Politically Powerful

By John Stoehr

…morality in this place and in this time and in the spirit of defending our republic from ghouls who have conspired, and are still conspiring, to bring it down. Moreover, a Golden Rule that’s wholly decontextualized and dehistoricized can be a gag preventing us from speaking the truth and silencing all but the most powerful. You know who Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is. During last week’s deep freeze in Texas, she started a fundraiser that has ra…
