God "chose" (10 months to die) my baby, he killed it, not me! This how far some people will take their religion. This is a mom and dad that allowed their baby to die in the name of God! I wonder if they ever went to a doctor? Do they take their dog to the Vet?
This is just stupid,; it is not religion.
Sometimes, like the case of the baby-killers, we need protection FROM religion!
WE NEED PROTECTION FROM, NOT FOR RELIGIION, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE GOVERNMENT OR POLITICIANS GETS INVOLVED IN ANY WAY!
Does the Trump Administration include Islam in their religious freedom initiative? Of course not. They will choose what religion and what part of that religion to "enforce."
Does the Trump want to establish Dominion over the nation? In the NFL, NBA, and everywhere else! Yep!
The "Justice" Department is a joke in America. We are a "Banana Republic" in reality, mirroring the Philippine's strong man Duarte in outlaw behavior in the name of law and order, and religious rights in America.
Sessions new task force for religion is Dominionism, a very fascist use of religion.
Dominionism example. Jeff Sessions switched judges in an immigration case so he could have a woman (legal immigrant?) deported AFTER ANOTHER JUDGE CONTINUED HER STAY IN TH UNITED STATES! Jeff, that is contempt of court! The original judge had the plane turned around to bring that woman back to the United States! Contempt of court, Jeff!
"'Turn the Plane Around.' Judge Orders Justice Department to Return Asylum Seeker to America"
By Glenn Fleishman August 9, 2018
America was founded for religious freedom, but that freedom was based on separation of church and state. Evangelicals are "confused " at best about their purpose in life when they want to force their religious beliefs on others.
Using your religion, and your he Bible to beat down and hurt others is WRONG! How can Evangelicals and Christians not see how wrong it is to hurt people who are non-religious?
Will the Religious Freedom Task Force (RFTF) protect ALL religious beliefs, such as the belief that doctors are not useful caring for babies?

Read the article below by Becky Moore for more on how dangerous Jeff Sessions task force is, but here a key point:
"I am always cautious when men in power start quoting the Bible, and you should be too, unless you enjoy fascism. What about all the other Scriptures in the Bible? The Bible should always be weighed with the other verses. If one interpretation of a verse violates another, this is a major red flag."
"Jeff Sessions announces a religious liberty task force to combat “dangerous” secularism"
The Justice Department’s latest move is another nod to Christian nationalism by the Trump administration.
By Tara Isabella Burton@NotoriousTIB tara.burton@vox.com Jul 31, 2018,
"On Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the creation of a “Religious Liberty Task Force” that will enforce a 2017 DOJ memo ordering federal agencies to take the broadest possible interpretation of “religious liberty” when enforcing federal laws. That memo, for example, prohibits the IRS from threatening the tax-exempt status of any religious organization that actively lobbied on behalf of a political candidate, which is not allowed under the Johnson Amendment."
Sessions is scheming to control ever more of our lives via a tribalism that willd destroy our democracy. He wants to allow "Christians" to participate in politics. It's Dominionism, the Christian Fascists are winning with Sessions. . That means people like the mom and dad baby-killers above who are a lot not sane or intelligent to decide who leads our country into. The Constitution and Founding Fathers NEVER intended religion to be weaponized, and actually left England to avoid the weaponization of religion.
Wow! The Justice Department is fighting against the judges who are upholding the law. The Trump Administration form of law and order is fake religion.
"Using striking rhetoric and the incendiary narrative of culture wars, Sessions characterized America as an implicitly Christian nation under attack from secularists. In so doing, he is continuing a wider pattern of the Trump administration: treating the federal government as a necessary participant in the longevity of Christian America. "
Evangelicals will love this "Christian nationalism" Sessions is supporting. Christians were supported by several court decisions these past two years, allowing them to discriminate against gays based on their religion, now they have the Justice Department support.
"Despite Sessions’s statement, religious liberty in America seems to be expanding. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court ruled that a Christian baker had the right to refuse to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, based on his religious beliefs.
Two other significant religious liberty cases — Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2014) and Trinity Lutheran v. Comer (2017) — have favored religious organizations. In the former case, the Supreme Court ruled that the evangelical Christian-owned Hobby Lobby had the right to refuse to cover contraceptive care for its employees, while in the latter, it ruled that a Lutheran church could receive state funds to build a playground on its property.
With the potential addition of President Trump’s nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, the Court is expected to increasingly rule in favor of a broadened definition of religious liberty."
Sessions is not helping law and order, not helping justice at all. Sessions is focused on helping the GOP win elections an control America.
"A comical look at immigration and the Bible: Is Attorney General Jeff Sessions properly quoting Scripture? Taking another glance at dominionism, the NAR and the fascist fusing of church and state""
by Becky Moore, BCCLC, BCMFC
"In a recent article at Market Watch, it is noted that Attorney General Jeff Sessions has cited the Bible to justify the separation of families at the U.S./Mexico border. Children are being taken from their parents.
Is Sessions a dominionist like Rick Perry? The problem is that dominionists are a militant, theocratic, fascist group calling for world rule. By force."
Weaponizing religion! Sad! Using the Bible to hurt non-religious people is wrong, wrong, wrong!
"For those of you who do not know, Bill Johnson of Bethel Church in Redding, California is a part of the leadership in the NAR and dominionism. Most sincere people involved in this group have no clue how their beloved gurus are shaping modern politics and society, for the worse, taking away our freedoms and the much-needed separation of church and state."

"The Hijacking of America – Current ReBiblican Senators"
June 28, 2013
https://crookedcrosses.wordpress.com/tag/jeff-sessions/
"According to Leah Burton, renowned researcher of all things Dominionist, the definition of a “ReBiblican” is as follows:A ReBiblican is a politician who is most likely to call themselves Republican and supports the melding of church & state. They are Christian zealots also known as Christian Dominionists/Christian Nationalists.
They believe that America was founded as a Christian Nation and view the U.S. Constitution as secondary to God’s Law according to the Bible.
ReBiblican politics is not limited exclusively to 21st century republicans. They are found in increasing numbers in all other parties and encouraged to run as stealth candidates as long as they win elected office."
