This is not Christianity!!! Being a Christian does not involve mindless following, like these people are engaged in. True Christians read their Bible, pray every day to God and listen for His voice. You cannot be a follower of Jesus and not love others. You are not a true follower of Jesus if you do not love and serve others. The scripture, if read in whole and correctly, is clear on that. It is also clear that a false church will rise up in the last days.

To the church of my youth, What the hell did you expect me to do? You told me to love my neighbors, to model the life of Jesus. To be kind and considerate, and to stand up for the bullied. You told me to love people, consider others as more important than myself. You taught me to sing "red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight." We sang it together, pressing the volume pedal and leaning our hearts into the chorus. You said that “He loved all the children of the world”. You told me to love my enemies, to even do good to those who wish for bad things. You told me to never "hate" anyone and to always find ways to encourage people. You told me it's better to give than receive, to be last instead of first. To help the poor, the widow, the stranger at the gate. You told me that Jesus looks at what I do for the least-of-these as the true depth of my faith. You told me to focus on my own sin and not to judge. You told me to be accepting and forgiving. So I paid attention. I took in every lesson. And I did what you told me. But now, you call me a libtard. A queer-lover. You call me "woke." A backslider. You call me a heretic. You make fun of my heart. You mock the people I’m trying to help. You say I’m a child of the devil. You call me soft. A snowflake. A socialist. You shun the very people you told me to help. What the hell did you expect me to do? I thought you were serious, but apparently not. You hate nearly all the people I love. You stand against nearly all the things I stand for. I'm trying to see a way forward, but it's hard when I survey all the hurt, harm, and darkness that comes in the wake of your beliefs and presence. What the hell did you expect me to do?

FYI, the separation of church and state was put there to protect the church from the state, and since the constitution was built on God, it was the churches job to watch the State (government) the democrats twisted it around as usual to fit their narrative they have been slowly chipping away at the constitution since the Republicans took their slaves away kkk,jim crow laws, fighting the civil rights act is all owned by the democrats if it wasn't for Republicans the civil rights act under Johnson would have never been past, iam looking at some of these comments of the self righteous sanctimonious arbiters of God.

What you are witnessing from Trump is the product of a lifetime of being surrounded by nothing but toadying sycophants who have never challenged his behavior, actions, or words. Trump has lived a life of unaccountability, irresponsibility, privilege, and excess. Trump is the product of an absentee clansman father and an uncaring mother who justifiably gave up on raising their dyslexic/ADHD/Aspergers son and sent him away to a military school instead. What the American people have inherited is a morally corrupt, ignorant, classless, blowhard, racist, draft-dodging, coward, serial adulterer, fornicator, tax cheat, with six bankruptcies, three failed marriages, dozens of failed businesses, cheated investors, cheated contractors, undelivered products, and 1,000's of lawsuits. Who appeals to fear-based bigots through xenophobia, ethnophobia, islamophobia, homophobia, ethnocentrism, racism, gynophobia, sexism, discrimination, race-baiting, classism, antisemitism, misogyny, and atheophobia. Trump has been surrounded by sycophants all his life that have insulated him from the effects of his words and actions. He is not a genius or the product of hard work instead he's a charlatan and a grifter. Since nobody has ever challenged his words or actions they are fundamentally divorced from reality and he believes the world yields to his will alone. We are intentionally leading ourselves down a path of unaccountability that will ultimately lead to dictatorship, civil war, genocide, and slavery. When Trump talks about unrest, violence, and civil war he's talking about a race/class war that he and his father fantasized about their entire lives. Trump and his followers want the legitimacy of his regime to be the central cause of a race/class war because he wants to be a modern-day Jefferson Davis and they are willing to accept Russian help to foment this. The Trump family is relying on a legion of Timothy McVeighs to avoid prosecution for their crimes and hold onto power no matter what the outcome of the 2022 elections. As a society continually expecting less and less of our elected officials is a losing proposition. Your choice is simple, you either buy into what he's saying and back him unconditionally. Or you draw the line and demand ethical, accountable, and intelligent leadership. Because what you are seeing is the choice between dictatorship or democracy and your family's lives are at stake.

A bit of a misconception. To clarify, even the most outspoken atheists like Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the late Christopher Hitchens openly acknowledged they can't be "certain" that there is no god. Their point is, there's as much reason to believe in any gods as there is to believe in the tooth fairy, because the evidence is just as good for both. So think about how sure you are that the tooth fairy and Easter Bunny aren't real (can't be 100% because you can't "prove" it) and you should feel the same way about any of the gods that people have come up with. That's what atheism actually is: I reject your claims that there are supernatural beings until you can give me evidence that they exist.

I agree. I would love to demonstrate how the radical left fed the radical right extremism. Consider Amanda Tyler's chief claim, "Those of us who are Christians who have enjoyed 9:35 privilege's in this country, who have benefitted is some ways from the ideology of Christian nationalism, we have a special responsibility to show love for our neighbor and stand up for their religious freedom rights right now." Specifically, she pointed to the Article which declared that the US was not founded on Christianity. However if you bother to read the entire section you will see the clause argues that America had no beef with Islam or desire to war against them. Therefore a reasonable person will ask why Islam is particularly so addressed. It is because the single largest threat to the new nation were the lack of protection normally afforded by the British Navy in shipping routes to Southern Europe and the Mid-East. Muslim pirates were a huge problem and our new nation was in a desperate bid to forestall any attacks. They came anyway and the US went to war in Tripoli. After spending seven years in Japan, my wife and I pleaded to stop the Muslim airline attacks both before 9/11 and before the August Transatlantic Bojinka plot was thwarted in England. Our school Alamo in Japan had everything to do with our historical understanding of the context behind our nation's constant desire to bend over backwards for the terrorist Mohammedans. Trump engaged in this very behavior when he allowed a poorly vetted Saudi pilot into US flight schools to be trained on the jets we were selling to Saudi Arabia. I have for years been promoting a school and an education aimed at not only at vetting Islamists but laying the seeds for the scientific underpinnings of Christianity. Liberals don't believe there are any. But from Descartes, to Flamm, to Boltzman, to innumerable scientists emerging from the Christian tradition, they have all embraced a natural view that science was the truest path to knowing God. The 29th chapter of Psalms is a good example of scripture that explains God not as magical or mystical but one and the same as the raw and awesome power of Nature. God's role is laid out in Psalm 29 8. "The Lord's voice shakes the desert of Kadesh." In context, it is the thunderstorm that is shaking the desert and thus God is equated with Nature's power. Man's role is given explanation in Proverbs 29 8. "The wise turn away anger lest a city go up in flames." Man is to control his urge to protest, insult, take revenge, engage in acts of violence and civil unrest. Men must act like gentlemen. There is a matching verse in Islam of the same number, 29 8 that begins in a similar tone to Proverbs 29 8 but then offers that to Mohammed is one's return. The Spider 29 8 states that if one is suffering under one's elder, one is free to make one's escape from them. It goes on to state that to Mohammed is one's return but given Mohammed's actions in Sura 111 it calls into question if Mohammed is truly the intended return or if there a return to an even higher or more worthy authority. Mohammed waxes poetically about torturing his auntie and uncle before throwing their bodies in a furnace. There is no shortage of excuses made for Mohammed for this rash and impulsive murder fantasy. If not Mohammed then to who is one's return? It's as if the numbers themselves are pointing to Proverbs 29 8. It is as if a peace portal has opened up that invited Muslims to escape the ruthlessness of Mohammed and find one's true return in the path which can scientifically be argued to be the path that is our metaphorical father and son, in other words, a path of creation that accounts for the eternal regenerative nature of time itself. It is no coincidence that images of Christ and Pi appeared at address 29o8 to highlight the path to exactly such a peace portal and to the discovery of Time's arrow, Mathwave 935. My wife Kumiko Krchnak follows in the footsteps of Saint Helena who discovered a healing cross at Golgotha. Mrs. Krchnak found the mathematical counterpart to St Helena's cross of healing and regeneration. The path to her discovery follows the work of Lincoln, to his colonel, a chemist names William Smith Clark who taught in Japan for a year to his student Shiga Shigetaka who went on to deliver an unusual stone gift the Alamo. His trip was widely reported on is possibly the basis for Ludwig Flamm's mathematical concept of what became known as a wormhole and adopted by Einstein and Rosen in 1935. The recognition by Shigetaka of parallels between cultures led to a linkage between cultures that pointed to a path of mutual appreciation and a bond formed by a universal appeal to what amounts to heroism. America, Japan, and China had successfully joined forces to stop the Chinese Muslim bandits from terrorizing the foreign embassies on Beijing. In other words, 14 years before his gifting there was in history a historical basis for the idea of East and West uniting under a heroic duty to protect the rule of law. Our country has never been in graver danger, and it is not helpful for the left to make a blanket charge without doing some soul-searching as to the cause of the assaults against us and the racket of protection that was afforded the violent at the expense of our nation's national security.

_“The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or Mohammedan Nation.”_ *- John Adams* (American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, Founding Father & 2nd president) The *1st Amendment's Establishment Clause* prohibits the government from making any law, _“respecting an establishment of religion.”_ This clause not only forbids the government from establishing an official religion, but also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion. *Constitution Article VI Supreme Law - Clause 3 Oaths of Office* _"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; _*_but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."_* This means nobody is ever required to swear to a god or on the Bible, or any other religious book for an oath of office. They may choose a god or religious book, but none is required. Thomas Jefferson and Calvin Coolidge did not use a Bible in their oath-taking ceremonies. Theodore Roosevelt did not use the Bible when taking the oath in 1901, nor did John Quincy Adams, who swore on a book of law, with the intention that he was swearing on the constitution. _"In this enlightened age and in this land of equal liberty, _*_it is our boast,_*_ that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in the United States."_ *-George Washington* _“...the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."_ *-Treaty of Tripoli - June 7, 1797. Signed by President John Adams & Ratified UNANIMOUSLY, by the Senate June 10, 1797* ....only a few times in history the Senate unanimously agreed on anything. A 2018 Supreme Court Ruling re-affirmed this statement, from The Treaty of Tripoli. The Supreme Court released an opinion on May 14, 2018 in Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Assn., 584 U. S. (2018), Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion wrote: _"The Treaty of Tripoli was passed by the Senate and signed into law by President John Adams. As such, it is a "legislated text" which must be read "textually". The lower courts in this case read a hypothetical legislative intention into the text by dismissing Article 11 as "a mere formality". _*_The language itself makes a clear direct statement that our government is not based on the Christian religion and any attempt by a government official to represent our government as Christian contradicts the text and the historical understanding of our founders."_*

It's also worth mentioning, many Founding Fathers just weren't fans of religion, or at least organized religion.

*"The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation."* - Treaty of Tripoli (1797), carried unanimously by the Senate and signed into law by John Adams (the original language is by Joel Barlow, US Consul) The Driving force of the Founding Fathers - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Ben Franklin and the great Thomas Paine were Deist and not Christian. - the Great Thomas Jefferson said: "And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter." "But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors." "Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity." "What have been the effects of coercion?" "To make one half of them fools and the other half hypocrites." In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. John Adams The question before the human race is, whether the God of nature shall govern the world by his own laws, or whether priests and kings shall rule it by fictitious miracles? "God is an essence that we know nothing of. Until this awful blasphemy is got rid of, there will never be any liberal science in the world. Founding Father & 4th president James Madison said "Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise." During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been the fruits? More of less in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy..ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution. Ben Franklin "Lighthouses" are more useful than churches. Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794) The commandments carry no internal evidence of divinity with them; they contain some good moral precepts, such as any man qualified to be a lawgiver, or a legislator, could produce himself, without having recourse to supernatural intervention. It is, however, necessary to except the declaration which says that God visits the sins of the fathers upon the children; it is contrary to every principle of moral justice. What is it the New Testament teaches us? To believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married; and the belief of this debauchery is called faith. The Bible: a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind. The Christian system of religion is an outrage on common sense. The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion. Yet this is trash that the Church imposes upon the world as the Word of God; this is the collection of lies and contradictions called the Holy Bible! this is the rubbish called Revealed Religion! The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on nothing; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing and admits of no conclusion. Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1793) No falsehood is so fatal as that which is made an article of faith. Thomas Paine is so right! All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system. It is from the Bible that man has learned cruelty, rapine and murder; for the belief of a cruel God makes a cruel man.

God bless you Amanda. Well said. I used to work side by side with evangelicals years ago at the Right-to Life march in Washington D.C. and I admired their dedication and their piety. When I was involved in the march, we expressly told participants that the march was NOT a protest and NOT politically partisan. It was a prayerful observance. The speeches on the ellipse reflected that. Eventually, the entire character of the movement changed and it became more angry, more partisan and less prayerful. The speeches on the ellipse began looking like political rallies. With the advent of Trump, my respect for many (not all) evangelicals has diminished and I am deeply ashamed of many of my fellow Catholics who have embraced a political movement far removed from the ideals of Christianity.

great comment. It's beginning to get scary; like,-" fascism in Europe in the 20's and 30's", scary. Christian's, like yourself, will make the biggest difference in the direction of American history. When I get anxious about the future, i find comfort, in the thought, that as long as Christian's, remember to behave like Christian's, like disciples of Christ, then we will be alright. There will always be times when your religious beliefs force you to be a bit political. Your wanting to participate in the march, for example. But, making sure politicians know what you think about legislation, IS the right thing to do, as a Christian and as an American. The devout, being counted and effecting policy change, even if I disagree with the changes, doesn't frighten me. Differences in the interpretations of legislation, and the debates, demonstrations, and marches that stem from them, are expected in a democracy. They will never damage the Country the way this violence and white nationalism can. You mentioned being Catholic. Every time I hear an extremist / nationalist, argue, that they represent Christianity, and that Christian's should not shy away from, the word nationalist; I think, about Catholicism. I mean, Catholics can not be nationalists, right? The doctrine comes from the Vatican, in Vatican City. Vatican City, is it's own Nation(since 1929), it is not part of this(USA) Nation. These days, very few Catholics live their lives wholly governed by the Vatican; however, identifying one's self as 'USA nationalist', would mean, not caring about anything- the Vatican or Pope has to say. My Baci (God rest her soul) was Catholic and pious, mass twice a week, pious. She was also non-judgmental and a great American. When I was a kid, I remember her saying that Reagan shouldn't run, because, he was Catholic. She said "as a Catholic, his actions and choices should represent the will of the Church, Dogma, Doctrine and The Pope." So, she would not be voting for him, because, "our President, should act for the will of the people, for America", she explained. The violence, separatism and political ideology of this, extreme nationalism movement, shouldn't make it a good fit for any Judeo-Christian religion. But, I'd think the conflict of interest for Catholics would be unsurmountable. I am glad to read, that people like yourself, are paying attention, and ready to stand apart from people like the Faux Christian, at 8:36 in the video, willing to stand with the 'out numbered', and stand up for America.

@@geolisadrag-racing2349 Thanks for the comment, although you misunderstand the relationship between the Catholic faithful and the Vatican. Catholics are not bound to accept marching orders from the Vatican and being Catholic would be no more of an impediment to serving in public office than any other denomination. Sadly, there are some Catholics who are willing to weaponize the Eucharist and deny politicians communion for not taking THEIR marching orders. This is a reactionary minority. Catholic teaching holds individual conscience supreme. Although Catholics should respect the teaching authority of the Church and endeavor to understand and deeply consider Church teaching, they are free to follow their conscience in all matters not considered dogma.

The Bible, God, Jesus Christ - all of them taught throughout the Bible that God’s way is the way of love, humility, servitude, and “the hard path”. Christian nationalism is none of these things - it’s the complete opposite. Christian nationalism is what the Bible warns Christians to be wary of throughout its pages. But to know that, these so-called “Christians” would have to have actually read it and care about God, and they have not done that and they do not care about God. Everything they say and do is in direct opposition to the teachings of Christ and the Bible. Besides that, the Bible itself tells us, “and you will know them by their fruits”. Assuming there is a God and it’s the same God written about in the Bible, then Christian nationalists are devil worshippers, and when the Christ they pretend to serve returns for his people, what they will hear from him is already written in the Bible they pretend to believe in - “depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.

Nothing had destroyed the relevancy and beauty of the Christian faith like these bozo fanatics who see no problem with shoving their spiel on “loving Jesus” while promoting lies, heretics, profiteers, slanderers, and crooks as appropriate leaders for our country. You cannot in the same breath promote a love for Jesus when you proselytize hate for groups you don’t like and support using the Christian mafia for getting your way in government policy. Christianity was never meant to embolden “Christians” to assert that nations become theocracies so that they can hang homosexuals and deny women the right to control their own bodies. This is insanity. Anyone ever watch the Handmaid’s Tale? It isn’t very good but what’s struck me in the couple of episodes I’ve seen is how the politics featured in this bizarre series reflect elements of hate mongering and promoting the power grab by a fanatical theocratic group to pervert both faith and totalitarian control as a sacred right. That’s the dangers of putting religion in power. Anything goes because “God says so.” These wing nut representatives Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert must be thrown out of office because they use their public platforms to promote this Nazism. It’s very dangerous for them to use elected office to promote their radical idea of installing one religion to head our American government.

The left is also an authoritarian movement that don't care what everybody else wants. What makes them more right to enforce their agenda which goes against all tradition and reason?

What an important interview. Amanda Tyler is very brave to advance her theories/cause, especially due to the violence that the Christian Nationalists promote in "Gods" name.

This is why so many adults (and their children) are leaving churches in droves. They may be spiritual and believe in a higher power, but they no longer want to be involved in what goes on with any church and the entanglement of religion and politics.

[@louiserobinson6704]

@@samuelduvall8130 Baptist are Christians! We all live out the scripture as we learn and are taught. And yes, many are, have been and will be very human and led away in various ways. Today we are in very scary times. Oh yes, when I read about the crusades that were in the name of Christianity… my heart is broken. History is full of evil and terrible times.

Since these Christian Nationalists and churches want to be involved with government, all the property sheltered under IRC Section 501(c)(3) needs to be assessed and immediately taxed. The pastors should have their assets taxed like our primary homes and savings are. They have given up this privilege!!

Jesus brought the pilgrims to America, moved His Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday as part of the new covenant promise land. Israel was long gone in 1620. Jeremiah 31:36 Matthew 21:43

[@freshstart4423]

The British chased the pilgrim defectors to America and commandeered merchant ships, gave weapons to the Indians convincing them to kill the settlers. The British used slaves to circumvent the pilgrims and develop the land in competition to overpower the pilgrims. Our abolishionists freed slaves more than 200 years from 1640 to 1840s when the fashion industry developed and purchased the cotton to pay the workers.

"I'm tired of this separation of church and state junk", says the lady from Colorado. Well, I guess then she is tired of the U.S. Constitution. Her solution, and the solution of others like her, is to get rid of the Constitution, and replace it with THEIR interpretation of the Bible. I can think of no belief system that's any more dangerous than that.

@@khav11 not every republicans are constitutionalists. My interpretation of your poorly worded reply is that you see nothing wrong with substituting the bible for the constitution, as the governing document of the U.S. That's called >>> theocracy.

Well, she's really tired of being a Christian, then. "For they are no part of the world, as I am no part of the world". Separation of church and state is written right into the bible itself. Anyone who doesn't follow that principle is not a Christian.
