    Christian Nationalist Movement in the United States

    I just can't picture Jesus wearing an "I love Rome" t-shirt. And never did He petition Rome to codify His teachings.

    Christian Nationalist Movement in the United States

    The reason I worry about it is because those who are pushing CN (and republican policies in general) are deceiving Christians, and the Bible warns us that some will go so far as to lose their faith. And I don't want to see ANY brother or sister so deceived. (And no I wouldn't vote for demonrats...

    Christian Nationalist Movement in the United States

    Many "Christian nationalists" like to back the right because they're against abortion. But to do so, they have to turn a blind eye to many other Christian truths/mores like denouncing mammon worship, not cheating workers, not abandoning the poor, sick and foreign, not being self idolaters, not...

    And they're being deceived into turning away from God's truths while doing it.

    On the surface I have no problem with this. The issue is, all them prophesies that say false prophets/teachers/leaders will come claiming God's Name, while in reality leading them away from His ways. And Jesus' statement that some will go so far as to walk away from Him. MAGA/Republicans are...

    So, we have obviously been in a state of inflation/price gouging here in the US. But so has the whole world. Do US libs really control prices across the entire world?

    It's been going on for way more than 3 years. The libs have been pushing their godless agenda for decades. And that's the enemy's plan. To create an evil so heinous on the left, that believers will swallow any lie the right puts forth. The enemy of our enemy is NOT our friend. The left...

    ANY discussion of prices that does not include a look at profits is a straw-man argument.

    It's really not that difficult, if you can take in the big picture. Trouble is, polarized people only take in that part of the picture that they want to see and ignore the rest.

    The neighbors held a republican meeting the other night. I went and found that there was no food, even tho it was held at suppertime. So I suggested we call for a pizza. Everyone agreed, so I took the initiative, collected money from the others and made the call. When the pizza came it was cut...

    I would say demand creates jobs; no rich person ever paid anyone to make a product that no one is buying. And demand is produced by consumers! The more they buy, the more jobs are needed to fill the demand. The Achilles heel of unfettered capitalism is human greed. It's a nice thought to...

    Your very first sentence tells me all I need to know. So I'll pass wasting my time on this one as well. The problem these days is, people engaged with a lie, when shown the truth, will continue with the lie. I've learned not to try to enlighten these people. It's a waste of time.

    1. Rich people don't create jobs, consumers do. 2. Stuffing the pockets of the rich in hopes it will trickle down is like giving 1 dog 10 bones, expecting he'll share them with 9 other dogs. 3. If a company raises prices but their profits remain the same, that's inflation. If a company raises...

    That is so far off base, I realize there's no way of pulling you back to reality. Bless you. Ephphatha!

    There's a reason groups get tagged with a stereotype. That's not to say any individual within a group can't step outside that stereotype, but they are the exception not the norm. The norm is what generates the stereotype. What stuck out for me were his assertions that working class families are...
