    I can tell by reading this thread is some of you have no clue of
    Some posters have a warped sense on what a Christian looks like. It’s not surprising.

    If this life is all there is that’s a sad view of our existence! Maybe for you it would be the best option!

    What’s so hard to get through to you Trump haters is a lot of voters who voted for him is playing out before our eyes! The only alternative was Joe and he’s the WORST President in history. Maybe if the Democrats had ran a more plausible candidate I would have considered them. I doubt it though.

    "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." Politics do not fall into God's realm....and neither you nor me knows what Jesus "would do."

    Any hatred for Trump was well earned. He tried to overturn the legitimate election of his opponent by 8 million votes and then refused to allow a peaceful transition of power for the first time in US history. That makes him a traitor to our country. Open your eyes.

    My view is that our multicultural society does not have a unifying vision or belief system, with the exception being this and this only: - to Make Money, to Accumulate Goods and to Aquire Power.

    While in the very early colonization period many Europeans came here citing the mantra of religious persecution and a desire for religious freedom.............

    Imo that quickly evaporated into the only unifying concept the people that occupy this space have ever had, a desire to exploit the natural resources of the continent and the indigenous people whom lived here, to enhance the immigrants and settlers quality of life.

    I believe the BEST attributes of the Judeo Christian cult, the most common cult worship practiced in the United States, is offering a sense of place, community, help, fellowship and emotional support. It also offers morality and wisdom as reflected in the Old and New Testaments.

    Of course the flip side to that, is extreme tribalism, mind, thought and behavioral control, racism, sexual predation and explotation, of which the examples are in the millions, by every sect of the cult. Now (Frightningly) we are seeing a political virulence and upwelling, into the political sphere, at unprecedented levels by these cultists.

    I personally consider it a tragedy that American Society is no longer recognizing the separation of church and state. If taking a womans right to her own body does not reflect this, nothing does. To take a persons right to non heterosexual love does not prove this, nothing does. To deny medicine, academic learning and the scientific method, nothing does.

    The republican party, a significant portion of the media, the judicial system and the Supreme Court are all being undermined by the extremophilez that want to reestablish a religious stranglehold on our laws and rights. But not just any religon - The primarily "White" male dominated, prosperity evangelicals, ...........they are destroying public, secular, liberal arts education, and transfering dollars to the "prosperity christian brand" in a gigantic way, they are building THOUSANDS of religous schools across the country DEDICATED to their mind control indoctrination.

    Those that wish to deny this are completely blind to the facts or are in denial.

    What's gotten through to me is that a lot of people (a) have no moral compass and (b) have not had a civics class and, thus, have no appreciation of what America stands for. To support Trump because you believe Biden is not a good President is beyond absurd. It's delusional.

    Was the News’ organization suggestion. Why are they wanting to leave the fold?

    More than 100 Florida churches file lawsuit to leave United Methodist Church

    It seems like every religious news site I browsed cited similar rationale.

    No pal it’s your Party that’s delusional and you will find out that most Americans agree with that when you lose the majority in November! Hopefully it’s not too late!

    Lol, more fearmongering so liberals can huddle in their houses, chatter their teeth, bite their nails, and worry that the boogie man is coming to get them. Seriously, that is all this is. I've never met a self-described Christian nationalist in my entire life. Just calling it out how I see it: this is an umbrella term to group all non-woke non-leftist conforming Christians under for the purpose of shaming them because you don't want to be one of those people. It is just a new derogatory term, but the people in power who decide what terms belong on the derogatory list and which ones don't approve of this particular derogatory term.

    I find it comical that those who think they know so much, know so little.
    God is all about love. God is about forgiveness.
    We are an imperfect people and will always sin. It is our asking forgiveness and doing better is what makes a Christian a Christian. It really is pretty simple.
