Gonna post this in a few threads cause it made me laugh so hard.
4th of July and Religion
- Thread starter The Thriller
- Start date
This is how many of us feel, and why we’re angry. Christians are forcing non-Christian’s to be governed based off their beliefs. It’s wrong, unconstitutional, and violent.

Did mine in Brazil, near heard the national anthem at church. Also lived there post mission for a time. Again, never once.
In fact, from what I gather, the church in the US is where patriotic songs are sung at church. I haven’t heard of this happening outside of the us.
And it’s funny given our church’s history to read that AOF. From 1844 to the present day with Covid and 2020 election results, honoring and sustaining the law haven’t been consistently followed especially from top leaders.

Is this socialism?
‘Here’s your check’: Trump’s massive payouts to farmers will be hard to pull back
The president was already spending double his predecessor to spare farmers the cost of his trade war. Now the price is reaching unsustainable levels.

Or is socialism only when that poor single mother in the city gets a small check?
Don’t get me wrong, i still believe in markets and fiscal discipline in a lot of things. But it’s just funny to me what people call “socialism” these days. We don’t bat an eye writing a blank check to the defense dept but heaven forbid some struggling family get a Some help to buy groceries.
Anyone else find it laughable that Christianity is somehow described as the “moral basis” for our country? Even if you dismiss our own history of genocide and slavery (that seems to be immoral even though it’s condoned in the Bible) just recently we saw the biggest 180 I’ve ever seen In my life. A few years ago? Character mattered. Trump? Suddenly it didn’t. All well

By the way, this is actually text from Hitler's first Radio address. I literally just changed references to Nazis to Christian nationalists.
