Whenever the wingnut-o-sphere vomits out a new set of talking points the adherents to their nonsense glom onto it like leeches on an exposed ankle in a muddy pond. For instance the We are too a Christian nation BS thats being regurgitated to support the Ten Commandments in schools or giving money to the Noahs Ark Is History theme park. The questions theyve been taught to pose to back their argument include: 1. So why are all oaths of office performed on a Bible? (FALSE, the Quran, a law book, the Hebrew Bible, and science book have been used, there is no requirement for any book.) Alternately theyll ask why you swear to god in a courtroom which is also not required by any law. You can say, I swear to tell the truth so help me and that is enough. 2. So why is Moses on the Supreme Court Building? (For the same reason all the other mythological symbols are up there. Dont any of these people bother to check what theyre talking about?) 3. Why does it say In God We Trust on our money and stuff? (Because it was added in the 50s by lunatic anti-communist nationalists and its stuck since it can be interpreted as being as vague as meaning the universe.) Know their talking points so you know how to tell the theyre wrong concisely.
