Thank you for covering this very important and dangerous topic of Far Right Christian Nationalism-extremist ideology. In addition, please include and research “The Joshua Generation” which is one of the youth movements within the “New Far Right”

The Billy Graham quote below is out dated. I was raised in the Episcopal Church. What I see in Christian Nationalism goes against my beliefs. I was forced to attend a Sunday service in Atlanta, Georgia in the late 90’s. The minute the service began, I wanted to run screaming from the “church”. Very backward, anti-woman, pro-gun, and un-Christian. I am not surprised by what has happened since that time. I just didn’t expect it to take over politics. It is frightening. I call trump, the Orange Antichrist because what he believes in is evil. VOTE BLUE IN EVERY ELECTION UP & DOWN THE TICKET. VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS FOR PRESIDENT

[@elizabethnaylor9561]

I believe in the separation of CHURCH & STATE. I do not want religion taught in schools. I was not aware of the changes made to the Pledge of Allegiance & coins. I thought it had always been there. Recently, a man from Germany said he was surprised we have a Pledge of Allegiance, he thought it reeked of the Third Reich

As a former evangelical Christian and present humanist I know only one thing for certain. Humanity will be lucky to survive religion.

“I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.” Billy Graham

[@grahamlindsay1263]

I read Ralph Lord Roy's book published 1953, Apostles of Discord: A Study of Organized Bigotry and Disruption on the Fringes of Protestantism. This book describes a very dark side of the spiritual mobilization movement. Billy Graham was 35 years old, preaching the word and fully immersed in the Deep State "path" of religious politics.

Didn't we just call them fundamentalist conservatives back in the 80s?

[@anthonypanneton923]

Anyone who had been paying attention knew (or should have known) for at least two weeks beforehand what was coming on Jan. 6, 2021. They did not make a secret of what they intended. But nobody took them seriously. I hope everyone is paying more attention now than four years ago, and I hope people realize that it is not just rhetoric with them. There's very good chance Trump will lose (again), and I think the danger is MUCH greater now than four years ago. They won't try to pull the same stunt as four years ago, but rest assured that the battles are not over and done with. When you see those "God, Guns, & Trump" signs - you better believe it, because they mean it.

It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a wealthy man to get to heaven, yet the accumulators of the congregants money never seem to get this. Either that, or they believe that very tiny camels exist. 🐫 🐪 🧵. The warrior Jesus? More like the model of human virtue who was willing to sacrifice his life to set the best example of all

God is apolitical. People from both the Democrat and Republican tribes will be in heaven. Revelation 7:9

[@EstherLuttrellsSundayStories]

The Bible is filled with stories about who rules and wars for leadership over regions. Kings are prominent in every book of the Bile and our country was founded on the principal that NO ONE would be forced to believe any one certain way, but will be guaranteed the right to believe as you will ... however, BELIEVING is at the very core of government. God is the foundation on which men established a place that would be free for you, me, everyone to worship as we see fit. God is not apolitical. He takes a great interest in how we, as a nation, respect and worship the Lord. Sad to say, it appears we've elected to follow the pattern of Sodom and Gomorrah.

[@godblessthelessfortunate3175]

@@EstherLuttrellsSundayStories So your god is a Republican? So many fallacies to unpack. First, my God is neither a Republican nor a democrat.

Good to see Meathead doing Public Service Announcements. Every time he opens his mouth I'm reminded of Nancy Reagan's anti-drug campaign in the 1980s. "Just Say NO to Drugs". Back then we didn't know the long-term effects of drug abuse. Seeing meathead today settles the argument. Brain damage is no laughing matter.

The Nation was founded as a Christian Nation, what are you talking about. Jerico is from Jewish scripture. Christians gave you the document that you're here & have your rights here from. There's no separation of Church & State in the founding documents. African Americans are not slaves because of Many Christians. I repudiate all violence.

The Founding Fathers told us themselves that the Founding of this Country had nothing to do with Christianity or any other religion. Most of our Founders we're Deists not Christians by the way.
