There Is a Real Sense That the Apocalypse Is Coming: ex-evangelical tracks the rise of white Christian nationalism, looks ahead to where movement goes

[SweetSue92]

The feeling of loss is at times understandable—it is difficult to travel through the hollows of West Virginia without a palpable feeling of being in a part of the world whose time has come and gone—but in the minds of those who joined the ranks of the far right, it had festered into a warped ideology of white entitlement and hatred. Of course, white nationalism exists on a spectrum, and although there are certainly those who will happily expound on their hatred for anything black or brown, there are also those who claim that the white race is not inherently better than others, merely that it is their race and that they should be allowed to take pride in it.

Race fixation, and racism, is stupid. I cannot understand it. People brag on qualities determined by who lived where during the Ice Age. It's stupid.

Christian Nationalists seem to be similar to what the Pharisees were like in Christ's time, who He continually rebuked for their rebellious stances against the ruling Roman government....

the famous Jesus saying of .... "Give unto Ceasar, what is his...." was one of Christ's rebuke.

The fervor over "Christian Nationalists" is ridiculous.

Imagine if anyone could match that with fervor over antifa, who does a lot more damage.

One of the prophecies of the coming of the Anti-Christ is that the "true believers will accept him as their Messiah", which is pretty much what happened with Donald Trump.

It's all but impossible to communicate, much less collaborate, with people who think you are evil, demonic, in league with Satan, just for disagreeing with them.

That goes for unhinged Islamists or unhinged Christians. Birds of a feather.

As a board poster you're just ineffective.

Go deal with your mess on why we wouldn't just get the damn shot

And, right on cue, again.

You know the reason that the secular left is feverishly pig squealin' about 'Christian Nationalism'? Because they have used the terms Patriarchy and Racism so many times in so many ways and in such stupid fashion that those terms mean NOTHING anymore so they had to make up another term to get some attention for their ridiculous claims. Christian Nationalism is nothing more than what the left considers Christianity and they can't have God above their death cult state religion of killing and maiming babies and children in this country,

apparently you've never seen the reawaken america tour.

That was less JEsus's concern than was their hypocrisy.

But what was their hypocrisy at the time he told them, give unto God, what is God's and give unto Caesar what is his?
