Looks like I was wrong -- the US isn't heading in Saudia Arabia's direction. It's always been there -- just not that openly.
Now, let's see what mayhem MLK's followers did in their haydays:
Here be an article by the Washington Post -- take it or leave it -- on the subject of MLK's movement in regards to the BLM movement and how it is perceived: Don’t criticize Black Lives Matter for provoking violence. The civil rights movement did, too.
She misrepresents events in some of her examples form further in the past ignoring other cause and effects (variables) at play and relies entirely on the same smear campaign that MLK Jr. faced which is...I don't know...odd....perverse? So what's her thesis anyway?
That left wing violence is okay?

If religion was kept out of American law, there wouldn't be so many bills written which show clear bias towards Christian/religious believes (since there are many different sides falling under the Christian umbrella), such as anti-abortion laws, anti-equality laws, anti-LGBTQ laws and the likes.
I'm always astounded when I see the "yeah well, in the middle-east they throw you off a building" so stop your whining about being discriminated against. At least, we don't kill you. Yeah, we should be grateful for that, I guess.
(notwithstanding that the Pulse shooter was an American -- but that's a different story, or the 15 transgender women who've been murdered so far by Americans)

First of all, let me just point out the irony of this when you live in a country with a monarch and a state church.

Indeed, there's no direct reference to "separation of Church and State". There's only this:

The Clearest definition of the "Separation of Church & State" was NOT to keep the Church out of the State but to keep the State out of the Church!
Hard to do when society is quickly trying to replace Religion with Politics. Thus merging the two in to an even more UNHOLY Monster then any thing previous.I like Sharky

You mean the act of running into a Religious Structure or House of Worship and Yelling "Sanctuary" so Government Officials can't drag you out and put you in prison?
If that is the case. I say let the Churches decide. SO for if example if SoulReaver just got spotted flashing people in the park and got chased by a cop into a church, the Church could then say . "Free Willey is yours officer, Fug Him!" I would have no prob with that.I like Sharky

I'm not so fond of the idea of anybody being able to run into any facility to escape law enforcement. If the structure is within the jurisdiction of the authorities making the arrest, so is anyone within that structure.

Originally posted by SoulReaver View Postthen what about Sanctuary (not the modern immigration BS but the original/medieval version) are US christians for or against?
However, for ME at least. Since the US doesn't have any (nor have we) any laws on the books regarding whether a church CAN or CAN'T be sanctuaries against the law arresting someone, and we do have laws about churches being non-political entities, and thus have non-profit status. As such, i am firmly against them.
Originally posted by Annoyed View PostBut what constitutes a "church"? Why couldn't a bunch of burglars for example belong to the "church of the 5 finger discount" a facility owned and operated by a group of crooks? You want them running into that church and claiming sanctuary?
