I went to a megachurch last Sunday with a shirt that read ‘Liberation for Palestinians’ on it. I was forcefully grabbed by their security force and forced out of the building (I did not resist in any way, but they couldn’t help but put their hands on me. I was complying.), and then was told that they would legally pursue me if I came back. These people can’t even stand to be in the same room as someone with a different political opinion than their own. How are we supposed to get through to people who cant stand a simple t-shirt? I want to be able to talk to these people, but they don’t even want to be in the same room as someone different than themself.

That's appalling. I was at a Presbyterian church which encouragingly had Rev. Munther Isaac, a Palestinian Christian pastor, over to give a talk, and he spoke about how much of American Christianity is much different than the Christianity where he comes from, which emphasises humility, pacificism and and sacrifice as opposed to the prosperity gospel and militarism of many American churches.

@LucyBlue0823 Hold to your faith and know this. You are the right side of God's Word. Yeshua the Social Justice Warrior. Luke chp 4 verse 18) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. His messages are directly aimed at the poor! Sorry Conservatives! Yes, Yeshua/Jesus is a Liberal! Proverbs chp 22 verse 22) Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, 23) for the Lord will take up their case and will exact life for life. Isaiah chp 10 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their pray and robbing the fatherless. Ezekiel chp 22 verse 27) Her official's within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain. 28) Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations. They say, This is what the Sovereign Lord has says'-when the Lord has not spoken. 29) The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery, they oppress the poor and the needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice. Philippians chp 3 vs 18) For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now I tell you weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ, 19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their appetite and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. 20) For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ

I’m a former evangelical Christian. Actually radicalized during my college years at the University of Delaware… Ironic because the Christian Nationalists claim liberal arts colleges are one of the reasons people step away from their faith. I was the opposite. Did everything in my power to make my assignments in classes an opportunity to talk about Jesus. Still graduated with a 3.7 gpa and went on to grad school for my Master’s of Library Science. I started to step away from the church around 2019/20 when I saw people in the church seem to care more about Republican ideology than their faith ideology. The hypocrisy was glaring.

And if you know, you know. It was under Carter (but actually started under Ford, Carter was blamed for it). Bob Jones and many other Christian schools and private schools that popped up in the wake of civil rights were being threatened with IRS and their tax exemption status. To them it meant existential war and utter betrayal by Carter - even though technically had nothing to do with Carter and everything to do with their own racism and bigotry. They was 1977 if I recall correctly. They voted for him then, and then 1980 the southern strategy was effectively in full swing and traditionally democrat conservatives shifted over to Republican. 1980 you had refan elected, but also had Buchanan declaring the culture war. 9/11 really was a crusade to them. And the rest is history. They're just going to get worse and worse and there's no going back. And to a large degree, the freaks are running the show. So we're going back to the reformations and wars of religion, because America was except from that history and never learned from it. Weeee

Jesus actually said he came to set people against each other. You can’t serve God and the Devil. You can’t be open to everything because that means good and evil means nothing. The moment you stand for something then by definition you are standing against other things People on the left seem to be eternally stuck as victim/child energy types in various ways who want to always be accepted exactly as they are. A good example of the Drag Queen thing. They feel the urge to go and teach other peoples children to be tolerant of them. Or for Trans people to accepted as real men or women by everyone else They can’t tolerate people not wanting them. They force it down everyone’s throat. Showing zero empathy for others deeply held beliefs. Then gas lighting then by saying they have no empathy lol Delusional really.

The backlash from Evangelicals is unprecedented. What happens in the States has a direct influence on Canada at every level of society. I am praying that Harris/Walz win in November and that the entire Republican Party is walloped. That will send a strong message to Canadians and the world.

This is alleged to be from a witness to the first or very early Christians. How right wing does it sound? "All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. ... Now the whole group of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one claimed private ownership of any possessions, but everything they owned was held in common. ... There was not a needy person among them, for as many as owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold. They laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need." - Acts 2:44-45, Acts 4:32-35

Extremely simplified information - necessary for comprehension of current political situation in the USA - which, like it or not, impacts the whole world. As currently on view in the USA, the FASCIST SCAM started over a hundred years ago when Coors (as in Coors beer) put together a fascist right wing group and agenda to counter the socialist progressive policies that were beginning to be implemented in America. The protestant groups, such as the evangelicals, baptists, assemblies, etc., were chosen for this project PRECISELY and INTENTIONALLY, because they were NAIVE, incredibly IGNORANT, and very EASILY and READILY MANIPULATED. Money, capitalism, power, fascism, plutocracy, and oligarchy were and are the singular goals, the absolute objectives; though most of the deluded members of these cults are not aware of these things and would die defending this con. These ultra right wing barrons knew it would take some time for this cold-blooded, purposeful contrivance to work its way to the forefront, but it started to bear fruit in the 50's, showed up in force in the Reagan 80's, the Gingrich Congress, Dubya's era, Delay's Congress, the Claremont Institute, the Heritage Foundation (and many others like it), Mercer, Cambridge Analytica, etc., and came to full, grim, nightmarish fruition with the REPUBLICANeviks, TRUMPeviks, MAGAviks, Q'ANONeviks, etc.; with the RIGHT WING, conservative, fascist MEDIA at their side AMPLIFYING the SOPHISTRY/MESSAGING 24/7. --- --- --- Point: FOX media is NOT a NEWS outlet. It deals strictly in dissemination of ULTRA-RIGHT wing fascist, republicanevik, trumpevik, magavik, q'anonevik, fundamentalist, racist, etc., LIES and PROPAGANDA. (Think Moscow's PRAVDA.) FOX actively promoted seditious lies regarding the last american presidential election, was caught and sued, settled out of court and paid close to a billion dollars in settlement fees to Dominion. Smartmatic is in process of suing. Little, if anything, has changed. (Although there is now one very capable, democracy and truth supporting journalist who, when she is on, very intelligently refutes all the lies.) FOX wholeheartedly (almost singlehandedly) but alongside such media as OANN, NEWSMAX,... and all the ultra-right political/religious RADIO PROGRAMMING, [which by the way is particularly brutal in the vile, vicious lies it spreads, being fiercely anti-education, anti-science, very pro muscovite-russian state fascism, pro-Orban, pro-Putin, misogynistic, racist, etc.], CONTRIBUTED TO the incalculable degree of IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY WITHIN the american populace; CONTRIBUTED TO the absolute harsh oligarchical plutocratic fascist CORPORATE CONTROL of the LIVES of american citizens for the absolute WORSE and spiraling downward; CONTRIBUTED TO the horrendously NEGATIVE STATE of affairs regarding the condition of economic PROSPERITY, WELLBEING, and physical/medical/mental HEALTH of american citizenry; and CONTRIBUTED TO the DELIBERATE CRIMINAL FASCIST DISARRAY within the USA government. This is NOT an exaggeration. --- --- --- --- --- It is, in fact, a STATISTIC that if you watch FOX (or watch and listen to other such right-wing outlets), you are (kindly phrased) SIMPLE-MINDED. And the more you watch/listen to/read the rightwing media, the more DENSE and BRAINLESS you become. --- --- --- It would take hundreds of years of deprogramming - and that with limited success - to start to solve this problem, if at all possible, because it was done under the auspices of religion. The naive left fell prey to right wing pr and did absolutely nothing to counteract this nefarious scheme. It was dismissed as under the sponsorship and guidance of 'religion.' They were afraid to touch that system model. Instead, they actually helped cater to it, particularly during the Reagan and Dubya era. - - - - - - - The so-called 'christian right' is NOT Christian. They are old testament fundamentalist reconstructionists and dominionists. There are varieties within those; most of which are beyond hypocritical, predatory, fraudulent, grifting, larcenous, and CRIMINAL. They do NOT follow the teachings of Christ as laid out in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament of the Bible. The word 'christian' as applied to these people is a DELIBERATE MISNOMER. -- -- -- -- -- -- Additionally, the Muscovite-Russian State has been plying its PROPAGANDA for hundreds of years. But it came into full play in the USA with the Reagan years in all possible categories, such as: economy, commerce, business, politics, finance, entertainment, sports, religion, education, etc. Putin intensified the predatory ruthless scheme to a highly targeted level by not only using HUMAN ASSETS but ALL MEDIA RESOURCES available, particularly television and internet; concentrating on the venal, CORRUPT, uninformed, IGNORANT, and GULLIBLE political/religious right. This Infiltration/Manipulation is CURRENT and ONGOING. To wit: Tucker Carlson, Mike Johnson, Jim Jordan, Comer, Tuberville, trumpeviks, magaviks, q'anoneviks, fundamentalists, right wing media,... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Crudely but accurately stated, Trump and the religious/political right are Putin's 'butt boys' - (though Trump is particularly 'special' in that regard). That goes for the ENTIRE POLITICAL and RELIGIOUS RIGHT THROUGHOUT the PLANET. Think Europe, India, Africa, etc. The MUSCOVITE BRAINWASHING has been PROFUSE. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- The right planned hundreds of years into the future. The left was lazy, and in many instances, arrogant and unsophisticated about reality. The consequences and results of lack of counter-action are self-evident and on full display. -- The only long-term answer: EDUCATION, education, education. With real SOLUTIONS and absolute, actual RESULTS. Not following through would be terminal. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Everything Trump does is CALCULATED, MANIPULATIVE, DELIBERATE, MALEVOLENT, and SADISTIC. *** Trump IS a LIAR. So he has been his entire life. It's both his NUMBER ONE PERSONAL IDENTIFIER and his PROFESSION. Ditto for his progeny. Everything the Trump Organized Crime Family does is CALCULATED, MANIPULATIVE, DELIBERATE, MALEVOLENT, and SADISTIC. Always. The Trump Organized Crime Family MODUS OPERANDI: Delay, Delay, Delay. Deny, Deny, Deny. And above all: LIE, LIE, LIE. - In conjunction with: Cheat, Blackmail, Coerce, Bribe, CORRUPT, Deceive, Defraud, Dupe, GRIFT, LAUNDER muscovite-russian state criminal assets/monies, Steal, DENY RESPONSIBILITY, REFUSE ACCOUNTABILITY, THREATEN, INCITE VIOLENCE, Assault, Attack, Hate, COMMIT TREASON, COMMIT HIGH TREASON, be utterly self-absorbed, self-adulating, self-aggrandizing, self-promoting braggarts, cretinous ignoramuses, arrogant entitled bigots and racists, narcissists, CRIMINAL THUGS, criminal TREASONOUS SOCIOPATHS, and criminal TREASONOUS PSYCHOPATHS. - And that's just for starters. --- --- --- --- The Trump Organized Crime Family members have LEARNED NOTHING IN LIFE.

It always was, that is why it´s origin was in an area where people were analphabets and heathens., without any real culture. At the same time as it began, there were countries which had developed and had functioning cultures. In the middle ages the Christian explorers destroyed them. Incas, Aztecs, Maya etc. They forced their beliefs onto others, those who would not comply were tortured and killed. The US has to clamp down on christian nationalists.

We are not a theocracy, we are a democracy. These bible thumping gun toting extremists are no better that Muslim extremists. If the Christian Nationalists take over, we are no longer a democracy.

Over 25 years ago my Evangelical grandmother told me that the American flag was a sign from god that we, the "star people" were destined to rule over the "sand people". My takeaway was that she thought 'we' (mostly white American Christians) were meant to be superior to, and rule over, Middle Eastern people and to have control over Israel. This was shortly after 9/11, after all. I honestly don't remember if she even explained how she came to that conclusion because it was so nonsensical, but it just goes to show these seeds were sown a long time ago. My grandmother passed before Trump came into power, but if she were still here she would be worshiping him like the 2nd coming of Jesus. My mother (a divorced single mom mind you) who has always been Christian, also voted for him and bragged to me when he won. The kind of world my mom voted for is one in which she would be shamed for leaving my abusive alcoholic father. It's crazy to me how easily Evangelicals fall to their knees for Trump, even when it goes against their own interests.

Extremely simplified information - necessary for comprehension of current political situation in the USA - which, like it or not, impacts the whole world. As currently on view in the USA, the FASCIST SCAM started over a hundred years ago when Coors (as in Coors beer) put together a fascist right wing group and agenda to counter the socialist progressive policies that were beginning to be implemented in America. The protestant groups, such as the evangelicals, baptists, assemblies, etc., were chosen for this project PRECISELY and INTENTIONALLY, because they were NAIVE, incredibly IGNORANT, and very EASILY and READILY MANIPULATED. Money, capitalism, power, fascism, plutocracy, and oligarchy were and are the singular goals, the absolute objectives; though most of the deluded members of these cults are not aware of these things and would die defending this con. These ultra right wing barrons knew it would take some time for this cold-blooded, purposeful contrivance to work its way to the forefront, but it started to bear fruit in the 50's, showed up in force in the Reagan 80's, the Gingrich Congress, Dubya's era, Delay's Congress, the Claremont Institute, the Heritage Foundation (and many others like it), Mercer, Cambridge Analytica, etc., and came to full, grim, nightmarish fruition with the REPUBLICANeviks, TRUMPeviks, MAGAviks, Q'ANONeviks, etc.; with the RIGHT WING, conservative, fascist MEDIA at their side AMPLIFYING the SOPHISTRY/MESSAGING 24/7. --- --- --- Point: FOX media is NOT a NEWS outlet. It deals strictly in dissemination of ULTRA-RIGHT wing fascist, republicanevik, trumpevik, magavik, q'anonevik, fundamentalist, racist, etc., LIES and PROPAGANDA. (Think Moscow's PRAVDA.) FOX actively promoted seditious lies regarding the last american presidential election, was caught and sued, settled out of court and paid close to a billion dollars in settlement fees to Dominion. Smartmatic is in process of suing. Little, if anything, has changed. (Although there is now one very capable, democracy and truth supporting journalist who, when she is on, very intelligently refutes all the lies.) FOX wholeheartedly (almost singlehandedly) but alongside such media as OANN, NEWSMAX,... and all the ultra-right political/religious RADIO PROGRAMMING, [which by the way is particularly brutal in the vile, vicious lies it spreads, being fiercely anti-education, anti-science, very pro muscovite-russian state fascism, pro-Orban, pro-Putin, misogynistic, racist, etc.], CONTRIBUTED TO the incalculable degree of IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY WITHIN the american populace; CONTRIBUTED TO the absolute harsh oligarchical plutocratic fascist CORPORATE CONTROL of the LIVES of american citizens for the absolute WORSE and spiraling downward; CONTRIBUTED TO the horrendously NEGATIVE STATE of affairs regarding the condition of economic PROSPERITY, WELLBEING, and physical/medical/mental HEALTH of american citizenry; and CONTRIBUTED TO the DELIBERATE CRIMINAL FASCIST DISARRAY within the USA government. This is NOT an exaggeration. --- --- --- --- --- It is, in fact, a STATISTIC that if you watch FOX (or watch and listen to other such right-wing outlets), you are (kindly phrased) SIMPLE-MINDED. And the more you watch/listen to/read the rightwing media, the more DENSE and BRAINLESS you become. --- --- --- It would take hundreds of years of deprogramming - and that with limited success - to start to solve this problem, if at all possible, because it was done under the auspices of religion. The naive left fell prey to right wing pr and did absolutely nothing to counteract this nefarious scheme. It was dismissed as under the sponsorship and guidance of 'religion.'

The word 'christian' as applied to these people is a DELIBERATE MISNOMER. -- -- -- -- -- -- Additionally, the Muscovite-Russian State has been plying its PROPAGANDA for hundreds of years. But it came into full play in the USA with the Reagan years in all possible categories, such as: economy, commerce, business, politics, finance, entertainment, sports, religion, education, etc. Putin intensified the predatory ruthless scheme to a highly targeted level by not only using HUMAN ASSETS but ALL MEDIA RESOURCES available, particularly television and internet; concentrating on the venal, CORRUPT, uninformed, IGNORANT, and GULLIBLE political/religious right.

It's deeply disappointing to see Brad Onishi, someone of Asian heritage and a person of color, perpetuating narratives that align with white Christian nationalism. Given his background, one would expect him to understand the damaging effects of racial stereotypes and the importance of challenging them. Instead, his stance appears to betray the very communities he is a part of, aligning with ideologies that historically have oppressed people of color. Brad should recognize the responsibility he carries as a person of color to challenge and dismantle these harmful narratives, not reinforce them. His position is not only a disservice to the truth but also to the very communities that continue to suffer under the weight of these racist ideologies. It's a shame that he chooses to support a version of history and theology that contradicts the inclusive and diverse nature of the real message of Christianity.

My gf is Irish millennial and she talks about how much things have changed in her lifetime. She went to art school in an old repurposed laundry. She said they still had women there working laundry in the early 2000s. Those women had no where else to go and nothing else to do and so the government cut them a deal basically, and ended up working for the school. My gf said she took joy in the school hanging up subversive art (often with religious or counter religious themes) in the old halls of that place. When I go back and dig into the still living history they is very recent for our times in how horrible the catholic-state regime was, it's shocking. Probably the worst I'd seen was about the mother and baby homes and the effectively orphaned kids being treated as pure byproducts of sin, fully neglected as little souls. Watched a man basically in tears describing how they would leave the kids diapers unchanged for days, and there was 5 times higher child mortality in those places because of the negligent neglect. How they are otherwise so good at covering up things and they cultivate the image of being for humanity and the humane. It's the opposite. And all these Americans that are skeptical of government, they aren't skeptical enough of their religions becoming part of the government, or in the case of Catholics, the religion itself effectively having a government. Always perplexed me they ever questioned things enough. And my dad gets giddy to this day talking about how bad the atheist communists for being militantly against religion, can't see these artifacts of even recent history with the Catholics, "well that was then, and people are sinners." And I'm like, that's exactly my point! Being devoted to the biggest wine tasting club doesn't make you a better person!

This is the kind of Catholic my grandfather was. He was a sinner during the week but went to confession and church on Sundays. He was very smart and had political opinions, but as far as I was aware, his opinions were not extreme. I do not recall politics or religion being discussed in my family, except occasionally and on a very basic level. It seems like religion (or at least the religion my grandpa practiced) "stayed in its own lane" much more and did not try to control every person and every aspect of life.

Last study I read said that 60% of homeless shelters/emergency beds were provided by faith based groups. Hindu, Wiccan, Jewish, Budist, Native American...tough f@#!$ng luck! It's no wonder people unfamiliar with the plight of the homeless misconstrue why they refuse to go to these places!??

@@munkeefinkelbeen5395 I grew up in a single parent household and my mother worked full time to support my older brother and I.

Back in the 1960's and 70's the salary and benefits of a single family bread winner included full heath insurance and a company pension and was sufficient to own a modest car home and a car. At 96 yo my mother still receives that pension each month.

Brad Onishi and I have a similar story, then. I was raised in this. At one point, from 2016 to 2020, I was completely devoted to Jesus. All I cared about was Jesus and people. But I looked around and found myself alone. Everyone at church was, at best, distracted by their lives and where we were going for Sunday lunch. At worst, they were mixing Americanism with Christianity and diluting the potent message of Christ. They didn't seem to really care about Jesus, and many didn't seem to care about people. So I left. There was a time I also could've been a Christian nationalist because I was surrounded by the seeds of it in my earlier life (before 2016). It's ultimately ironic, then, that what saved me from that life was being devoted to Jesus' message.

For me I I was taught that the Bible was correct that the Bible is God's word no questions asked. So when I found a religion that truly meant it all that teaching to me fell into place and I gave my whole self to it. It just happened to be an independent fundamental Baptist Church. What got me out of it was that I found a Muslim that had very similar experience that I had and we were both saying the same stuff but one of us had to be wrong. I realized how arrogant of me to think that I was right and this person was completely wrong. Once I separated and got out of it I remember I took a leap of faith and decided that I felt the Bible was not God's word. I asked for God's forgiveness if I'm wrong but I felt I was right. Now I know the Bible is not God's word. I even now see how unfair the Bible's God is. I now fully do not believe it and confidently.

Being french-canadian, learning catholics are behind a lot of this breaking down of the separation between church and politics is chilling and kind of illuminating. Back in the early nineteenth century, the catholic church in Canada was a moribund leftover from the french ancien régime. But through an alliance with anglo-american capital during industrialization it revived and amassed immense power and influence as a public institution, which in exchange could use ideology and superstition to keep a mostly materially and educationally poor majority in check. This is why when the "quiet revolution" hit in the 60s, french canadians aspired not only to overthrow foreign dominance in the economy, for instance by nationalizing hydroelectricity, but at the very same time overthrew the power of the catholic church. Because of this, french canadian culture today is rabidly secularist and allergic to anything religious, especially women for obvious reasons. So from here it's depressing seeing the US slowly going the opposite direction in the same time frame, but it's certainly not surprising this is happening through an alliance with capitalists who couldn't give two shits about religion but are adept at using it for political control, and christian nationalism in that sense is a perfect fit for american culture.

VOTE BLUE, VOTE DEMOCRAT/PROGRESSIVE DOWN BALLOT, AS IF YOUR LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU LOVE DEPENDED ON IT, BECAUSE IT DOES. We are in for a bumpy ride for years to come. The United States of America is on the precipice of FACISM, right now, and the foundation of Fascism, already at work from within our power structures, already disrupting the checks and balances meant to safeguard against it, might be a force to reckon with for an unforeseeable future into the next century.

Most of Christianity today is non-biblical heresy. Individualism has ruined the church. You can't have a "personal relationship" with the biblical god.

@@CraigScottFrost Explain that in light of the five fold ministry of the church in Ephesians. A Christian that refuses God's gifts is in willful disobedience and not in communion with God.

I agree with some of the first part of your comment. But the second, "a personal relationship with God", is the Holy Spirit, which is still God.

Im glad that radical Catholics were brought up. There was a catholic extremist juvenile probation officer in Orange County who was a big influence behind the satan scare in the 80's. She also was an anti- punk rock and anti-heavey metal crusader. She founded the "Back in Control Training Center of Orange" where she gave seminars for parents on how to de-punk and de-metal your kids. It involved destroying all their music paraphernalia, barring them from associating with any of their friends and in some instance putting bars on the kid's bedroom windows. She destroyed families and children. I witnessed it She actually testified in the trial against Judas Priest when the band was being sued for "causing two teens to commit suicide" (turned out it was probably their christian fundamentalist parents who were to blame). Today she is has been involved with the catholic diocese of Orange County where she has been doing PR work for the diocese in the wake of some sexual abuse scandals.

Raised in southern baptist church. Id go visit catholic churches every once in a while. I have NEVER in my 20 something years of church going heard any of them align with ANY politician. I don't go to church anymore, but I see tons of preachers/pastors mixing the "war against principalities" and siding with evangelicals and the right. The white churches never had rhetoric in the areas i went to, but Im sure there were some. None of the black churches ever sided with political messages.

Father and I (North Carolina) went to two baptist churches last year. They both preached politics from the pulpit. We walked out partway through. Father went onto a Catholic Church that doesn’t preach politics. I just stay home.

The interview ended hopeful. Remember how people tried to connect Brexit with the election win of Trump. As sort of a canary in the coal mine that we didn't see coming. If that holds any weight then we just saw Britain and France go left. People are tired of chaos and the only chip the Right has to bet is chaos.

As a former Evangelical who grew up in the heart of the Bible Belt (but left in the late 90s, in your terms, about 6 mths before The Good Friday Agreement). At the rate it's going here in the USA, another 10 years and the hard-boiled "moralist' faction will call make Harassment of Virgins a crime punishable by public castration, even for teenage boys.

I'm old and have always considered myself a Christian. However, since these people came to light, I no longer use the name for fearnof being associated. They practice the opposite of Christianity in my opinion and give real Christian's a bad name.

13:45 As someone who grew up and was intentionally raised in that enviornment, what I saw was Preachers, sunday school teachers, and other church leaders would take events that were happening and apply a spiritual purpose or cause to it. I remember this most when the Columbine HS shooting happened. They claimed that god was punishing the godless liberals in Colorado for their sins and it was a warning to the rest of the christian community about what happens when you take god of schools (referencing the Engel v Vitale supreme court ruling). Same thing was done with Hurricane Katrina. So a narrative was developed from these events that we were being punished for our collective sin and if we didn't get involved in politics and steer the country back to the mythologised christian roots that the guest described, then we were going to become like the Roman Empire or Israel and Judea before, when they were conquered and overrun by other nations (often citing China, and then later "the muslim jihadists".

bingo! Repugnant stuff by pastors re gun violence. These pastors are personality-disordered narcissists as anyone with any brains is well aware of at this point in history. We must stand up to this and challenge it in every way possible: resist thru both words and thru social shunning at this point! Often the idea that we must engage them is wrong. When they are radicalized and show hatred, they need social ostracization. Dn't by their plumbing services, their products etc. I am vetting the ppl i buy such services from now!
