Well, you didn’t give an answer so…carry on.

Arguing semantics because you can’t bring any substance. Carry on, smart guy.

So, you’re not going to answer the question. There’s no argument against fact that the church has pretty much always involved itself with politics. The argument is against that the “subjective morality” is bad for the country. I’m a Christian, but I’m not in favor of legislating morality, but the problem isn’t the morality itself, it’s the people trying to enforce it. That will always come off as judgmental and violating perceived personal rights. Where do those rights come from, though?

The Constitution, I guess. I don’t think we actually disagree here. I’m not supportive of the left trying to legislate morality either. Both sides are power-hungry, and want control more than anything else. So, Christian Nationalism (which isn’t a new term, but is more in the spotlight these days due to these folks actually garnering some wins) and whatever we’re calling extreme Leftism these days are two sides of the same coin. Both sides push legislation that they feel will benefit them. Neither side is pushing legislation that will benefit all of us, which is why both sides are plagues upon society. I’m rambling.

Agreed, like banning books and abortion.

And putting migrants in internment camps.

Be honest, had you ever used, seen, or heard that term before, say, a year ago? If so, in what context? It’s a political device that is intended to make the left hate whites and Christians more than they already do.

We’ve known about that ilk going back to the John Birch Society.

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

It’s real, bro.

Christian Nationalism is what you get when you trade the teachings of Jesus for the pursuit of political power. They are completely antithetical to each other, and folks pretend they can somehow align. Wild. As you were.

And look where compromise has gotten us.
