I can see what it about to happen. The evangelicals preach & declare America was founded as a Christian nation. That is the only religion they recognize.
You stop them cold when you speak of raiding and stealing from the Native Americans...described as savages, or those lovely Americans making them walk the trail of tears or hanging women. They just take that off their buffet and bibilical plate. ( They do treat both like a buffet)
Now with the theocrats taking over via the Supreme Court and the prayers on school grounds, wait just wait until the prayers start rolling in from the Buddists, the Muslims and yes even the Satanists, not to mention all those who publicly worship Trump. Oh boy is this a mess.
It is my belief that a true Christian would be fighting for separation of church and State. There are so many denominations just in the Christian faith, you can’t get any agreement on even which Bible to use. King James, or the Living Bible?
Look, I know the confusion that happens in brick and mortar churches. My Daddy was a minister, my uncles were ministers, My paternal grandfather was a minister and I never knew any one them to preach on a corner, get paid or preach politics.
My own father quit attending brick and mortar churches when the evangelicals started their money schemes and political talk. MY Father, a pastor for over 30 years QUIT going to church and refused to watch televangelists because of hypocrisy. He still read his bible, helped folks and when he died at 90 the chapel would not hold all the people even though he called the churches of Hypcrosiy Out.
I have a sister who did not get the memo. She never obviously listened to my Father and he would get very agitated with her views on school prayer and churches of late. He would turn up Bonanza and tune her out. (I always laughed at that tuning out that he did). The Volume was so LOUD. My son who was my Daddy’s favorite of the grandkids because he was the only boy, and he did his eulogy and thanked all for showing but then said, “ Where were you people when he was alive the last several lonely years”. I actually laughed in the eulogy part that he spoke. It was the truth. It was the hard cold truth. They had abandoned him., and then showed up for his funeral. Well, they got called on it from the pulpit at the Funeral chapel and quite sure my son was a bit uncomfortable speaking from there. He wasn’t uncomfortable calling many there and he said, “ You know who you are” HYPOCRITES. My son and I don’t agree nowadays much on politics but we sure agree on separation of church and state and Roe.
Wait until Buddah is brought on to the field. Wait until worshippers bow to the east to prayer and as one poster said in another post, a sacrafice of a goat., or burning something bowing to Satan like a scene from Rosemary’s Baby.
Everyone has a right to their religions but all kinds of chaos will break out with this new debacle. This is precisely why people’s personal belief should be in prayer closets and in their own churches. There has to be separation of church and state but again The Supreme Court has opened a Pandoras Box. Forget the popcorn. I find nothing entertaining about this. You might want to check into passports if you are able,
People, there is not a very bad moon on the rise but glaring in the sky in a dark sky.
May we all be as safe as possible by what is happening.
Just for the record. I am a Christian who does not attend brick and mortar churches and for the record here is what My bible says about public display.
Matthew 6 ( Red letter words)
When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. 6But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
7“When you pray, don’t babble on and on . They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. 8Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!
They left the Jesus words on the Buffet table...AGAIN. They actually want a civil war, I truly believe. They have pushed button after button.
