is there something wrong with being Christian?
Yes. It means people believe in God and obey him instead of some human rulers. Your kids aren't God's children, they belong to the state.
Any questions? Doesn't matter. Shut up amd do what you are told.

“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams
I grew up in a Christian America. We felt safe in our own homes. So much so we could leave our front doors unlocked at night without fear of home invasions. Divorce was rare (very rare), and our children respected their elders. Everything worked.
My wife and I gathered our children and congregated with our neighbors at Church on Sunday. Then after Church we strolled over to the Mom & Pop Grocery Store next to the Church to buy groceries. The husband handled the meat counter in the back (his smoked pork-venison sausage was yummy), and the wife and older kids handled the check out lines. We lingered a while to visit with our neighbors. I heard laughter and giggling children.
We mourned with our grieving neighbors when they lost loved ones. The Funeral Home was always full to capacity for wakes.
There was no want, there was no loneliness, life moved slower and we laughed and sometimes we cried. I listened to stories of valor and incredible bravery from our WWII Veterans.
I go back to my old hometown occasionally. Everything on main street is boarded up, including that Mom & Pop Grocery Store. Most of the shop owners have passed on. Fond memories.
Sad.

Oh lawd! Is this fool serious?
There's no way he truly believes his own words.
Here is an excellent description.
quote:
Jefferson wrote in response,
“Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.”
Jefferson, quoting the First Amendment to the Constitution, sought to reassure the Danbury Baptists that what was written was sufficient to protect their rights and that he was a friend to their cause.
Thus, it’s fair to say that Founders like Jefferson meant for some kind of separation between church and state to be present. The government could not establish a state-sponsored religion, but neither could it prohibit others from freely practicing their own religion. However, it’s also fair to say that opponents of religion in the 20th and 21st centuries have misused this phrase to try and separate religion from the public sphere far beyond what was originally intended.

Christian nationalism simply holds that Christian principles are an underlying and unifying factor for the United States and that the borders of the United States exist for a reason.
That’s enough to be classified as “Christian Nationalism.”
I am, as such, a devout Christian nationalist.

Thomas Jefferson wrote this in a response to Danbury Baptist Association. He was the sitting President at the time.
So no, it is not in the Constitution. I think people associate it with the Constitution because Thomas Jefferson wrote the letter.
Not to mention it’s only a separation in one direction, that the state cannot establish or prevent the free exercise thereof. There was no contemplation that the government would not reflect the morals of the Christian people who were creating such government or that those Christian people would not serve in such government and be guided by their faith and according to Biblical principles.

Christian: adjective Relating to or professing Christianity or its teachings.
The main themes that Jesus taught, which Christians later embraced, include: Love God. Love your neighbor as yourself. Forgive others who have wronged you.
Yeah I don't have a problem at all with this. If anything, we need more of it.
Where I do have a problem is with the use of "Nationalism". It should be replaced with "Patriotism", as the majority of people who support this view are simply expressing a positive love of country and wish to end the practice of national-suicide that we see happening now.
Majority of people don't identify with the "nationalist" term being thrown at them. In fact most people aren't even aware that there is a difference between patriotism and nationalism.

Heaven forbid we had a society where you were to mind your own business before you minded your neighbors, respected your parents, respected marriage, the poor and widowed were provided for(not the able bodied). Liars, thieves and crooks were punished and ostrasized, bad behavior was shamed, and children were protected from the grooming of sexual devients

There’s nothing inherently wrong with “nationalism.” It’s just the opposite of globalism.
It’s hilarious to watch people with Ukrainian flag PFPs rage against the dangers of nationalism.

I demand EVERY politician no matter the Party they represent be a Nationalist meaning they will put the needs of Americans over the needs of the rest of the World’s citizens.
I also expect the leaders of all the other Nations to put the needs of their citizens first.

Other boards I read, this theme seems pretty common. And it comes from outsiders, non-Americans. Basically wanting US resources worn thin so that other nations can benefit and US becomes weaker. It's fricking stupid.

They’re just throwing leftist buzzwords together at this point. Next week it’ll be “white, neo-Christian nationalism”
