More "I hate white Christians" elevator music. Nothing you have to say will ever accomplish anything because y'all don't want to converse. You want to scream. I have way better music to listen to.

You’re putting words in my mouth. Naughty, naughty!

We had one catholic Potus besides Biden, the rest have been Protestant (that we can trust them)

One-in-five U.S. adults say it is “very important” for the president to have strong religious beliefs, and 14% say it is very important to have a president who shares their own religious beliefs, according to a February 2020 Pew Research Center survey.

Biden is only the second Catholic president, but nearly all have been Christians

Although Catholicism has long been one of the largest U.S. religious groups, John F. Kennedy and Joe Biden are the only Catholic presidents.

My point was, if you had actually read my post, was that all the rest were not Protestant.

There are laws that supersede the Constitution and those laws come with penalties that cannot get appealed once judgment is rendered. The creator gives us every chance for appeal before he renders judgment. America is at it's last chance to do so.

What is Christian Nationalism?

Christian nationalism identifies the nation with God's will and action in the world; conflates national and Christian identity; and identifies service of the nation with service of God,” writes Dr. David W. Scott, who is a Methodist historical researcher and the Director of Mission Theology at the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church. “Christian nationalism gives moral cover for actions, even unseemly ones, taken in pursuit of national or political goals.”

Dr. Kristin Kobes Du Mez, author of Jesus and John Wayne, takes the idea that Christian nationalism provides moral cover a step further, noting that Christian nationalism adheres to “the belief that America is God’s chosen nation and must be defended as such.”

Those who hold to a Christian nationalist view assume a religious duty in defending their beliefs in regards to the nation. So many of those who stormed the U.S. Capitol felt quite natural in holding up “Jesus 2020” and “Jesus Saves!” banners. They believed their actions were a defense of the nation and therefore sanctioned by God.

The events of January 6, 2021, expose the dangers of Christian nationalism. Uniting a religious fervor with domestic events incites a passion and sense of priority that many of us consider out of place--especially those of us in the Christian sphere who reject a Christian nationalist perspective. National priorities are simply not equal to the priorities of God.

Why did Jesus say it was good to know the difference between what is god's and what is the state's then ?
