Yes but there is a rise in Christian Nationalism in the remaining "believers". Many of them want religion back in schools too. They believe they can brainwash our children into fearing God. That is what this is about using fear to manipulate people.
My first word was "Agree". I was simply adding my take on tthe subject. Also, I wasn't accusing all Christians with the anti-social behavior of the conservative Christians They have illegitimately appropriated the word 'Christian' to mean their brand of religion which is antithetical to everything Jesus was trying to tell people.
Which is why they follow the antichrist who is Trump.
Assumes facts not in evidence. I am not an atheist.
?? I know what I know, if that's what you mean. Apparently you're under the misapprehension that you represent the views of "the wide majority of Americans" - as if that had any meaning whatsoever. We don't have to go back too far into history to remember many of the absolutely ridiculous things that "the wide majority of Americans" held the view of - until advancements in science eventually proved how foolish those beliefs were. Libraries are brimming with books about mankind's fallacies. You should look them up sometime.
No different than buying into a creator who comes from "poof". What's the difference?
Biology is not miraculous unless you're willing to completely cheapen the meaning of a miracle, rendering it all but useless as a distinction. Miracles defy natural law - biology adheres to natural law. Period. No amount of recitation of the specifics of biological complexity can change that. If something is commonplace, it is not miraculous.
I get it dude. Elizabeth Montgomery twitched her nose and poof here we are. And don't you dare tell me or anyone else for that matter to "examine my beliefs". Who the **** are you? Atheists such as yourself make up only 15% of our population. Yet here you are telling me that your beliefs are the be all and end all. Go tell your story to someone else. Because I have no interest in your bullshit theories.
I also am a practicing Christian. My faith is very important to me as well (it is me). I echo Hairy's comments. What we are witnessing here, which has been witnessed many, many times before in human history and since the founding of the Church, is the corruption of the Church (and our government) by men that have tasted secular power and can not get enough. Whenever, in human history, the church or the state get too close to one another, it ends up corrupting both church and state, resulting in each being weakened.
Why are Christians not listening? Likely because most Christians have about as much understanding of the teachings of Christ (I know that above is Proverbs) as they do world and American history. They are ignorant.
Thank you for posting. And if I've offended my liberal buddies here on this thread, so be it.
I for one am not offended. Aspiring to actually live by the precepts of Christ is all upside and no downside. I really think WWJD is an excellent question to ask oneself often, Christian or not. What would Mr. Rogers do? is another good one
It’s a solid documentary. It’s not anti-Christian at all, just anti-Christian nationalist. There are a bunch of conservative Christians who speak out against the hijacking of Christian values by a nationalist political agenda. There are also historians that go through the history of Christian nationalism. Much of its modern roots are based in the desegregation of schools and the belief that persists among some who believe America is for white people to the exclusion of others who aren’t white.
Wtf? How can people like you in a democracy argue for theocracy???Christian nationalism!! white supremecy nationalism! only the left views nationalism as a threat
The description for the documentary states that the film "looks at the implications of Christian Nationalism and how it distorts not only our constitutional republic, but Christianity itself." The summary also noted that the film features "prominent Christian thought leaders" and "asks this question: What happens when a faith built on love, sacrifice, and forgiveness grows political tentacles, conflating power, money, and belief into hyper-nationalism?"
Civil rights org says Rob Reiner's film panicking about Christian nationalism warrants Oscar for religiophobia
A Catholic civil rights organization leader used the Oscar season to slam a documentary made by a famous Hollywood liberal as an example of anti-religious bigotry.www.foxnews.com
"’God and Country’ is about an alleged threat to American democracy posed by so-called Christian nationalists. The Meathead would have the audience believe that we are on the verge of a theocratic takeover, though few outside of Hollywood and other secular subcultures pay any attention to this fable."
The Catholic civil rights leader also argued that the Founding Fathers "did not want the establishment of a Christian nation, but it is also true that they recognized, and indeed applauded, the founding of a Christian-inspired nation."
"Here’s the good news. ‘God and Country’ is a bomb," Donohue wrote. "It took in a whopping $38,415 in its first weekend—over four-days—playing in 85 theaters. As one movie critic put it, this means it averaged $451 per theater, a stunning achievement, even for the Meathead."
The Christian Post, also shredded the film.
"The premise of the film is schizophrenic, demonizing Christians with inflammatory insinuations that invoke the Third Reich, while at the same time deriding them for having a persecution complex because they fear a growing cultural hostility."
I dont see any mullahs practicing Sharia law
Christian nationalism is the christian version of sharia law.
few countries can pull of a multi-racial society. after the Civil War we codified equality of all people, and blacks bacame to mainstream - but in some cases like black colleges and society blacks didn't need to "fit in" to white society.
I don;t see any preachers at the courthouse

I'm still not an atheist - but feel free to indulge your fantasy.

Several have pulled it off better than we have. Ever been to Toronto or Bradford In Yorkshire?
How interesting.
Really? Ever see Cabrini-Green before it had to be torn down?Wh
Another, oh really
Allows? Like we'll allow you to stay in white motels now, but hang on to your Green Book just in case. That kind of allow?
I'm so relieved you've straightened out everything and we're living in the best of all possible worlds. What was that you said about 'allow'?
