Trump idolatry has undermined religious faith

[BreezeWood]

So, I say something is hilarious -- and then you prove me right by doing what I was making fun of.

Brilliant!

saying and being, proven by you are not the same - christian.

running to hide will not save you ...

how that is brought to your attention is irrelevant.

The religion of the stupid uneducated Moon Bats is this stupid AGW bullshit so they have no right talking about religion.

If you have to kill someone because they believe different things than you, you're not very confident in your beliefs. Matter of fact, you're kind of a pussy.

You compare that to murdering 5 people?

No. Try not to be stupid.

I'm not going to hold my breath.

‘Much has been written about White evangelicals’ central role in the fraying of democracy. More attention, however, should be paid to the damage the political movement has inflicted on religion itself.

The demographic — which remains in the throes of White grievance and an apocalyptic vision that postulates America (indeed “Western civilization”) is under attack from socialists, foreigners and secularists — forms the core of the MAGA movement. Many have rejected the sanctity of elections, the principle of inclusion and even objective reality.

The consequences have been dire for American politics. The siege mentality has morphed into an ends-justify-the-means style of politics in which lies, brutal discourse and even violence are applauded as necessary to protect “real America.” Essential features of democracy, such as the peaceful transfer of power, compromise with political opponents and defining America as an idea and not a racial or religious identity, have fallen by the wayside.

Sadly, the degradation of democracy has intensified in the wake of Joe Biden’s victory. The doctrinal elevation of the “big lie," the increase in violent rhetoric and the effort to rig elections all reflect a heightened desperation by the MAGA crowd. This has driven the GOP to new lows (e.g., vaccine refusal to “own the libs,” virtually all House Republicans defending an animation depicting the murder of a congresswoman).’

We should be more concerned about the degradation of democracy than any damage inflicted on religion.

Jennifer seems worried.

She should be.

Democracy is not working. It has just made the 2 power hungry sides keep fighting one another. Nothings done for the people its being done for the rich. The ex generals and admirals say it was rigged. I watched it. Trump had big leads in the last 3 states to count, all of a sudden Biden wins all 3. Why were eastern states behind counting when all the western states had all been counted before them, yet they are 3 hours behind the east. The whole picture stinks.
Then they come up with stimulus--Trillions stolen from future generations without no representation. Isnt that the reason they fought the rev war supposedly. They threw a few billion at the poor, but the rich got trillions. This world is blind. There is one king worth serving-Jesus.

christians with their phony messiah, monotheistic religion have been persecuting and victimizing the innocent since the 4th century as well the other desert religions - only to complain when their crimes are exposed and their intent is made public for all to see.

the desert religions and trump are one in the same.

Jesus was not with those religions, his religion was murdered along with him, the apostles then the followers. The great apostasy stood up-the religion that came out of Rome. now 33,999 branched off her= a house divided will not stand. A good tree produces good fruit, a rotten tree produces rotten fruit.

All taking part of either are being mislead by satans will. Jesus said to be no part of this world. His real followers do just that.

That's all fine and good under normal situations....but when you see your country being destroyed from within.....you have to do something about it....or just meekly go along with it till they herd you into the ovens.

"Traitors" is yet another word rendered meaningless by too-frequent misapplication by hyper-emotional leftists.
