Dangerous Christian Nationalism
The Reverend Benjamin Cremer has it right (in layman's words Christian nationalism sucks). He recently said this:
As a pastor, I oppose political violence. I believe Charlie Kirk should be alive today. I therefore mourn his death and the state of our country that caused it to happen. Erika Kirk's display of forgiveness rather than retribution and her call to love rather than hate was the most profound and important moment of the service.
As a pastor, I also oppose the blatant display of Christian nationalism at his memorial service by those in political power. The Christ presented there by them was not the Jesus of the gospels, but the figure used to masquerade as Jesus for the sake of justifying the pursuit of power and wealth by any means possible.
I say by any means possible because as was shown today, not even someone's death is treated as sacred by those in political power. It's treated as yet another opportunity to justify pursuing power and dominion in the name of Jesus. It's another opportunity to fuse supporting only one political party and only certain politicians with being a "true Christian. " It is another opportunity for the current president to justify hating his enemies rather than loving them as Jesus called us to. It's another opportunity uphold domination rather than the gospel of Jesus.
[B]It was treated as a rally, not a memorial service[/B] (emphasis mine). So, as a pastor, I mourn Charlie Kirk's death with those who are mourning today. I also oppose the narrative that his legacy and death is being used to uphold the name of Jesus, especially by those in political power. It isn't. It's upholding Christian Nationalism and Christian nationalism has nothing to do with Jesus.
What a shame. Erika Kirk didn't get the memo.
Charlie Kirk's widow made a big mistake in allowing Donald Trump to attend her husbsnd's funeral and tribute and therefore "touch" her message of Christian forgiveness and unity.
Anyone who knows anything about Donald Trump's entire life but especially his political life knows exactly what happens to everything Trump "touches. ".
[B]Trump calls Charlie Kirk an American hero and says he hates opponents at memorial.
President spoke at close of day of tributes after conservative activists widow, Erika Kirk, gave emotional speech forgiving her husbands killer.

Oh well.
Ironically, Donald Trump is the one person Erika Kirk has every reason to hate the most; he was the man whose approval and endorsement of the Repub MAGA Pro-Assassination "2nd Amendment Remedy" for one's political and societal grievances filled her husband's killer's Repub MAGA World, Repub MAGA Family and Ruby Red Repub MAGA State with so much enthusiastic approval since at least August 2016 that they voted for him 3 times to become President of the United States of America and, thereby, convinced Kirk's killer to go ahead and grab a gun, load that gun and pull that trigger to apply that popular Repub MAGA-approved Pro-Assassination Repub MAGA "2nd Amendment Remedy" to his political and societal grievances exactly as Repub MAGA Trump and the Repub MAGAs who voted for him hoped he would do.
I hope she sees the light and comes to understand who the real enemies of her husband, her friends, family and country are and always were.

Yes, that really does sound horrible, but
[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;3027716]Tyranny and Extremeism and Authoritarism. LOL.
How many millions of migrants did Biden have invade USA during his four years? How much did Biden and extreme left Dems spend on Planes and hotels to get Immigrants into the country? How much do we have to spend now to remove them so are elections are fair for the next several generations? Whats my tax bill going to be on that one? Fuck, I am tired of paying for stupid shit because of insane Democratic policies.
How many instances of extreme perversion occurred under Biden at the White House to send a message? Remember the literal video of a homosexual man being penetrated in the White House. The Transexual man who exposed his chest on the White House lawn with Biden present. Male boxing gold medalist in the women's division LOL!
Inflation at 20% year over year. I don't remember the exact number, but it was crazy high. The highest of my life time by far..[/QUOTE]You forgot the part about Hillary Clinton running a child sex ring from the back room of a pizza parlor, the cannibalism and blood drinking.
Oh, and how many times will we have to watch Trump chop off the hands of little babies and force feed them to their parents on the White House lawn?
Well, I know we never saw that but we see you just wanted to ask utterly ridiculous questions that have nothing whatsoever to do with reality so I thought I would join in.
Oh, here's another one; How many times will Melania Trump sail over Saint Peter's Cathedral thanks to that flying saucer stuck to her head, or is it a Walmart lampshade, and piss on the nuns on the front steps?
Hey, this is fun!
You got any more?
BTW, this is so typical of what Repub MAGAs do when their guy gets elected and it turns out he doesn't know his ass from his elbow about anything he promised in the campaign and it becomes one super shit-storm of failure after another. In order for Repub MAGAs to "justify" their spectacularly stupid vote for their embarrassing numbskull, they have to now make up all kinds of shit about how as bad as everybody now knows beyond a doubt their guy is, oh oh oh it would have been so so so so much worse if that fire-breathing dragon of certain death to all had been elected instead.
Happens every time. Lolol. So predictable.
