@npr @music-npr Elvis' gospels where the best #music #Elvis ever made. You don't have to be #religious to feel how that was really the real Elvis, the man, the musician, not the #superstar, doing what he loved.
Go listen. :-)
#SCOTUS seems likely to let religious families opt out of #LGBTQ+ storybooks

Los Angeles Times · Supreme Court appears to favor parents' right to opt out of LGBTQ+ stories for their children
#PopeFrancis has died.
As a lifelong Catholic I ask:
Where are the brave #religious leaders with moral courage to stand up to #dictators?
We just lost one.
Will the next genuflect to Fascists & Nazis or stand and fight using the words of Jesus Christ himself?
On a #golf course on #Easter Sunday, #Trump promises to "make #America... more #religious"

In addition to #ParentalRights, the disputes involve #religious charter #schools & state taxes on a faith-based charity. The array of hot-button arguments could see religious rights groups make fresh inroads at the expense of their secularist opponents.
#SCOTUS Mulls #LGBTQ+ Schoolbooks Amid #Religious Rights Push
3 upcoming cases focus on distinct elements of the #FirstAmendment: the Establishment & Free Exercise clauses.
The US Supreme Court will consider Tues whether it violates the #Constitution for public elementary #schools to use #books w/LGBTQ+ themes w/o letting parents opt out, in one of 3 cases this term that further tests the separation between #religion & #government.

Before the case was narrowed to the #AppointmentsClause issue, the lawsuit included a #religious objection to being required to cover pre-exposure #prophylaxis for #HIV. They claimed that such drugs "facilitate & encourage homosexual behavior, prostitution, sexual promiscuity & intravenous drug use."
#SCOTUS this week:
The debate over #Religious #freedom & #ParentalRights is back at the #SupremeCourt.
Justices will consider whether #PublicSchools can stop parents removing students from lessons using #LGBTQ+ themed #books. The issue has divided a #Maryland community.
Justices will weigh the future of #free #PreventiveCare today.
And #police officers who joined the rally before the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection asked justices for anonymity.
Why is it that all across the world these protests are in diaspora neighborhoods instead of at Israeli embassies?
Dragging a big ass cross through your Iocal Jewish neighborhood on Shabbos during Passover yelling about killing babies and shit is not protesting Israel it's protesting your local Jews. And with some very very old anti-Jewish symbolism.
"#Essex Police are facing fierce criticism over alleged “two-tier policing” after anti-#Israel #protesters marched through a #Jewish area of Westcliff-on-Sea on #Shabbat during #Passover.
Chanting “Stop killing children” and “#Intifada,” dozens of #demonstrators paraded through the residential streets as Jewish families were returning home from #synagogue.
Footage shared online shows the marchers – some at the front dressed in #religious garments associated with #Christianity and carrying a large #cross – making their way through Westcliff, a suburb of Southend. Some held bloodied fabric representing dead children."

If #religious faith improved morality, priests wouldn’t rape kids, suicide bombers wouldn’t exist, and women would have equality.

Terrible decision
