I'm on page 2 of this thread on Conspiracy in Religion Forum.

Not a single thing about religion from responders. Just all politics.

Maybe Evangelical Christianity is just politics. Religion of politics. How to govern and regulate others in the World.

Complete Worldly mind.


Uhhhhh, it’s a thread about Trump lol.

Nothing but pure political garbage.

no such thing as either a moderate or centrist the extreme end of liberalism is a merger of capitalism/socialism and a return to slavery/serfdom.. we saw that when liberalism died in the 1920s with Nazism, fascism and Stalinism opportunistically taking liberalism to its natural conclusion..
Then what do you call Scandinavian governments then ? Are the failures too ?


Let me get this straight. You are opposed to MAGA because you see it as a throwback to when the system was only working for white men, and then you point to other white countries on how things should be run. Lefties...it's like they don't even listen to what they themselves say, let alone their political opponents.
Your argument makes zero sense . Did Scandinavian countries have black slaves ? Did Scandinavian counties not allow blacks to vote 58 years ago ? Did Scandinavians create reservations for indigenous peoples ?


do you really not understand actual history.. or anything about slaver history outside the Atlantic slave trade.. and there are still many other topics still coming to light as to how indigenous peoples have been treated..

Trauma of Greenland's forced contraception

the uk was still deporting its orphans to Australia in the 1970s as it has done for over 500s years in a practice that predates the Atlantic slave trade, 20% of Canadians are descended from those forced deportees.. and at this point the only demonstrable mass graves are of those children, mass graves still managed by the uk children's charity that sent them to north America..

American evangelicals are not standouts in the scheme of things compared to other peoples, and religions..

as topics go its pretty obviously about us politics nothing more or less

in actual terms the world is being evangelised but not by Americans, as evangelicals are the fasting growing group expected to top 1.3bn by 2050 in Africa, most of whom will be Anglicans, even rc countries like France are being evangelised as atheism is diminishing for the first time since the 1970s..

unless the world is turned upside down most Nigerians are not that keen on us politics.. the ones i know are your trad Christians and as a group they are not the normal BDMs, the is only go for births deaths marriages but are actual church regulars..

some interesting rifts between the coe and the winder Anglicans communion over these issues particularly the COE trying top square 1 man/1 woman marriage with equal same sex marriage.. no wonder they embrace trans/self id as they can keep their 1 man 1 woman marriage.. but the Christian global south are having none of it.

but none of that fits with a trump or Christian hating America..

Uhhhhh, it’s a thread about Trump lol.

It has been written in the Christian Canon:

9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

9Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men a 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 5 & 6 NIV

Some have said "Sure he is an adulterer, sure he swindles, and is greedy. But hey Cyrus the Great, Persian emperor, though Zoroastrian, and accepting the titles given by Babylonian deities was called Messiah by the prophet Isaiah. Trump is like Cyrus."

There was also a guy who changed his name to Koresh (a variant of Cyrus) for pretty much the same reason.

There is a saying somewhere about false Messiahs.

unless you say it in the mirror often enough, i think its 3 times and turn around otherwise the maga god gets you..

the thing is most of us are economically liberal and socially conservative, we are all a mix of trad eft/right and if we talk policies not politics we'll all be in near agreement on most policy detail, we all want security / safety / homes / food / jobs / health / education hence the coming breakdown will be because the idiot elitists are as far out of sync with everyone else as you can get on all those topics..

A few things missing from your OP.

Freedom, individual rights, and the US Constitution.

It's a common thing when the left tries to talk politics, especially when used in a religious debate.

People have the right the believe what they want as long as those beliefs do not infringe upon the rights of others.
What about Boebert , Greene , Mastriano & this De Santis gem
ht tps://www.governing.com/now/florida-teachers-alarmed-by-states-push-for-religion-in-civics.
www.governing.com...
So it’s ok for these clowns to trash the Constitution & our rights ?
60% of conservatives polled favor an ending of the separation of church & State .
Your revolution disappears in just 4 years as the vast majority of voters will be liberal. Silent Generation is nearly gone & the Boomers are eyeball deep into their graves .
Enjoy your fantasy of a return to Reagan era MAGA swamp

Scandinavians took part in the slave trade. Slavery is apart of their history. This has to be a troll thread.
Every country has had slaves , but Swedes doesn’t run around wishing to make Sweden great again in reference to their days of old white hegemony like Trump & his followers do & that is the meat of my statement.
Slavery is part of earth & those who want the old ways again are accepting human violations of the past as part of the “ Great “
58 years ago Blacks couldn’t vote , so what part of “ Again” in MAGA don’t you understand?

Yeah, and I'll call with a Talib, a Maxine Waters, Omar and raise you an AOC

Where did you get that poll? I sincerely doubt it. Unless you polled Islamics.

Whenever someone gets aggro about their elders, I just laugh and laugh.

You'll get to experience it soon enough, unless you flame out of here sooner.

Either way, I find amusing.

MAGA Baby. Greatest human endeavor ever accomplished and can return to greatness, if you Marxist fools don't destroy it.

no one else is the empire of the day.. at other times Americans define their president the leader/ruler of the world, so the real difference is you're saying your side wants to rule everyone while Trumps lot only wants to run their own lives, guess who sounds the bigger bunch of imperialists..

Name the country that didn't let blacks vote 58 years ago....

No Native American has ever been forced to reside on a reservation. I can speak as NA, we werent the angelic innocents the left paints us to be. And at one point outnumbered the newcomers and killed many. And killed each other by the score as well.

America is the Country. 1870 15th amendment was only followed by a few states & until LBJ’s civil rights bill Blacks as a whole were restricted or banned from voting.
Women couldn’t vote until 1920 ?
You sure paint a strange picture of justice in America. May Christ help you !

we've seen this since Brexit the obsession with the death, when the old, vulnerable, poor, different die the world changes in their favour but it doesn't, if that was true the uk would be back in the eu.. but even now not even the liberals think they could win that vote as they forget the young evolve, grow and change as do the battle lines..

I totally hear you. It's just baffling how some folks who claim to follow Christ's teachings can support leaders like Trump, whose actions often seem completely contrary to the principles of love, tolerance, and understanding.

And yeah, you're absolutely right about the whole mix of religion and politics in the U.S. It's like some leaders have forgotten the idea of the separation of church and state. Trump's time in office, no matter which side of the political spectrum you're on, seemed to heighten these divisions rather than bridge them. I think a lot of people, myself included, don't believe his impact on the U.S. was a positive one.

It's just a reminder of how crucial it is to be mindful of who we choose as our leaders and what values they stand for. We need leaders who promote unity, not division.

if that was true evangelism wouldn't be growing anywhere near as fast as it is and the us would have been liberal over a century ago.. progressive liberalism is not new it dominated the politics through of the 19th century, into the early part of the 20th before it collapsed..
