Don't worry! God will "let there be money" and save the university!
We just need your help to get there. Please send us money so that God will make the money, only then when you have less money will you make more money to be like us, then you'll be able to make money with the money you gave God so that He could make the money.
It's all so simple. You don't want to burn forever in Hell, do you?

I mean, I'm confident that another evangelical Arkansas billionaire will step in to fill the hole, on the condition the money is spent to research how many angels can fit on the head of a pin (and they get a kick-back from the state for their philanthropy).

Easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle, etc, etc.
I will concede that the 10 Commandments have any value when we elect a president that actually observes them all.

Unless the US gets their extremist christofascists under control, they'll never be able to become a normal civilized nation, it'll always gravitate towards a theologic dictatorship.
-
Tax all churches of any religion. Heavily.
-
Ban prayers everywhere but at some and church
-
Ban any groups that wants to introduce religion based curriculums at achools and label them as the domestic terrorist organizations that they are
-
Jail the leadership
I don't see many other choices here. It's either that, or just continue with the same bullshit we've seen for the past 7 decades
The christofascists are actually ENCOURAGED here for a reason, they are very easy to control and manipulate (as any television show on The Christian Network will reveal immediately).
They are also used against each other (various religions and sects), that's why they are all tax-free! "We" want it to flourish. They are perfectly divisive.
Oh hells no
If anything, these guys cooperate. Leave it up to the religious to tell eachother to all vote the same way. Religious groups is why we are here in the first place.
Tax churches, now! For all I care, prohibit religions even
You're not wrong from a citizen's perspective, but you are wrong from a powermonger politico's perspective.
I agree, they should at LEAST pay taxes, but that doesn't look likely with our current government.
Prohibiting religions never, ever works, and instead feeds them. They adore martyrdom as a concept, and love sending others to die and "go to Heaven" for their cause.
I'm all for all of that, but even before any of that, every single church that has tax exempt status should be heavily investigated, and that status pulled with the slightest sign of impropriety, which will be at least 50% of them.
There's a street near my local Walmart, and nearly every house on it is a "church," 23 in all. It's a tax avoidance scam, and it has to end.

This same UofA
"The University of Arkansas’ reversal of its offer to hire Emily Suski as its next law school dean has sparked concerns that the decision chills faculty’s free speech.
The university said it was withdrawing the offer after key Republicans raised concerns about Suski’s background and legal positions on transgender athletes."
The Arkansas Oblast will soon create the fucknut Christian version of the 1979 Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

How many ICE platoons has Arkansas already produced?
It's a good blog. They also have a podcast. I stopped reading the blog when I started listening to the podcast cause they cover the same material. Recommended.
Uggg I left Arkansas at the start of Sarah fuckface Sanders term. She’s not making it very compelling to want to move back, even though I have a plan to.
As soon as that dumbass announced that she was running for governor, I left the state. I now live in a blue state and enjoy life more. There's no way in hell I'm ever going back.
Good. That woman looks like a roadkilled possum and no reasonable person wants to be ruled by a Huckabee.
I was surprised that anyone wanted another huckabee for governor. So many seem to hate her dad.

I always have one question when I see this. Which version of The ten commandments?
We all know the answer but the fact that there's several versions...

Love it. The fascists/religious nuts need to learn some respect for others ideas and stop trying to bully everyone.
