"Christian Nationalism"/MAGA Is Destroying Christianity In America

[Skylar]

Catholic Chirch membership in the US and the world has risen, not fallen. Those who think Jesus’ perfect church will go away are mistaken.

As a percentage of the population, its going down. In the 1980s, as high as 28% of the population identified as Catholic. By 2000, 25% self identified as catholic. Today, its roughly 22%.

With roughly 40% of young Catholics abandoning the religion.

It's politics. That radical love thing. If Christ came back, we'd nail him to another tree. See, Dostoyevsky (-:

Turn the other cheek? Give him your cloak as well? Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man? Go and do likewise? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone? Love they neighbor as thyself?

Oh, MAGA Christians would go full Odin on his ass and hang him from a tree for being so woke.

Yeah but telling people to love people who tell you who you cannot love ..... that's taken out a few protestant denominations. And the Episcopalians as well.

I have posted this repeatedly from many sources over the years. Why don't you research it instead of fighting the facts?

A lecture from the radical left about Christian values? Who wooda thunk it?

We're not the one schooling you. That would be the folks abandoning the Christian faith in droves.

 

[Mac1958]

Religion can have very useful utility -- hope, comfort, answers, strength, guidance, structure -- for those who need it.

It's just a damn shame that it also provides utility to those who want to pervert it to excuse their own shitty behaviors and as a control mechanism, like a weapon.

Islam and Christianity being two shining examples.

That's about the Roman occupation and oppressive Roman laws.

Most colored boys are on the down low.

The thing with christians especially now.....................
Carlin had them pegged years ago..............

Yeah, Carlin was a great guy to go to for sound life advice. Had to go to rehab at age 67. Really had his life together.
I had a great thread on this clown a couple of years ago.

The Sad Misguided Life of George Carlin. He was NOT a genius, and NOT a hero.

Would you hire a drunk living over a grate downtown to be your life coach? Absurd notion, isn’t it? Well, if you read the comments of thousands of his fans on George Carlin’s online videos, people appear willing to do just that. His most popular appearance videos; the one against religion and...

I don't see any proof that Christians are any more or less moral than any other religion or non-believers, or those who just believe in a higher power.

Show me even ONE atheist who believes sex outside marriage is morally wrong.

 

[whitehall]

Lefties know they have the propaganda advantage when it comes to morality because they claim no morals or religious affiliation. It's easy to cast the first stone when you are loaded with stones.

 

[Mashmont]

Maternal and infant deaths exceed third world countries in Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas. That's politics not religion.

Obese black folks.

 

[Mashmont]

Those who claim we were founded as a Christian nation certainly don't act like it.

Hatred toward refugees and immigrants is not a Christian virtue, and it most definitely is not an American virtue.

Cruelty is not a Christian virtue, not is it an American virtue.

Though lying will always be with us in American politics, it is not a virtue, and certainly is not a Christian virtue.

Running a casino is not a Christian virtue.

Sleeping with a porn star with a third wife at home is not a Christian virtue.

Stealing from the elderly at a fake university is not a Christian virtue.

Putting another porn star on stage at a political nominating convention is not a Christian virtue.

Refusing to accept a loss and attempting a coup is as Un-American as it gets.

Trump may or may not be the Antichrist, but his personal record shows he is antichrist-adjacent.

Trump believes his "MAGA Christians" are as stupid as the punters who used to come to his gambling dens.

The end result of all this cruelty and hatred and rank hypocrisy is that the Christian religion is dying in America, just as Alexis de Tocqueville illustrated the downfall of Christianity in Europe two centuries ago. The exact same causes and effects are in play here in America.

If these so-called patriots really wanted to make America great again, they would reject the hordes of evil con men playing on their gullibility and dragging their faith and their country under.

Or...you can ignore all the warning signs and blame someone else for what is happening to your religion. "B-b-b-b-b-but Democrats!"

Blame the trannies. Blame the immigrants. Never look inward because that just might hurt too much.


And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Church Attendance Has Declined in Most U.S. Religious Groups​

​

Nearly All Faiths Seeing Declines in Regular Attendance​

Two decades ago, an average of 42% of U.S. adults attended religious services every week or nearly every week. A decade ago, the figure fell to 38%, and it is currently at 30%. This decline is largely driven by the increase in the percentage of Americans with no religious affiliation -- 9% in 2000-2003 versus 21% in 2021-2023 -- almost all of whom do not attend services regularly.

Still, most religious groups have also seen a decline in regular attendance at religious services over the past two decades.

So called “Christian Nationalism” is a term made up by the radical left to disparage people who love this country and go to church.

The number of everyone in the US has risen as the population goes up. The proportion that is Catholics has steadily grown smaller since the 80s. Down from a high of 28%......to barely 22% now.

That's hardly a sign of growth. Or perfection.

Especially when a full 40% of young people abandon the faith entirely. And the vast majority that don't.......have almost nothing to do with the church.

The OP doesn't get it. Christianity is a good thing. Nationalism is a good thing. Putting them together is the natural thing to do.

Nah. I'd prefer religious liberty over Christian nationalists trying to force their narrow theology on me at the point of a gun.

George Carlin enters rehab​

George Carlin’s list of dirty words is down to just two: alcohol and pills. The 67-year-old comedian announced Monday that he was checking himself into rehab. ”I’m going into rehab because I use too much wine and Vicodin,” he said in a statement. ”No one told me I needed this; I recognized the problem and took the step myself.” He didn’t disclose the name or location of the facility.

Carlin realized he had a problem, self aware.
Religious nut jobs don't.
