I do not usual comment on religion but there are times when I must step up and say my peace.
Recently Donald the Orange made a speech where he promised a ‘task force’ to impose Christian ideology…..
In recent campaign stops and on social media, Donald Trump has reprised lies aimed at inciting his Christian-right base against Joe Biden. These tirades, centered on the false charge that the Biden administration is persecuting Christians, aren’t just Trump’s typically dubious claims. Much like Trump’s lies about a stolen election, they are designed to immerse his loyalists in a grievance-laden alternative reality in which Trump alone can rescue them from an evil government threatening their freedom.
In a Dec. 19 speech in Iowa, for example, Trump pledged, “As soon as I get back in the Oval Office, I’ll also immediately end the war on Christians. I don’t know if you feel it. You have a war. There’s a war.” Speaking just after the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified him from appearing on the state’s GOP primary ballot, Trump tied this “war” to his own legal woes. “Under crooked Joe Biden, Christians and Americans of faith are being persecuted and government has been weaponized against religion like never before. And also presidents like never before,” he added. “I always say Al Capone was treated better than I was treated.”
Trump has promoted the theme of Christian persecution in the past, but is elevating it again as these legal issues mount. His clear purpose is to deflect attention from his own criminal liabilities by insinuating that the same Biden administration he falsely claims is unfairly targeting him for prosecution is similarly persecuting religious Americans.
Unsurprisingly, Trump’s ardent supporters see his and their “wars” as tied together. When he was indicted in a Manhattan court on charges that he illegally covered up hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, his backers compared this supposed persecution to that of Jesus Christ. In a Truth Social video two days after his Iowa speech, Trump made this persecution pact complete. He contended that under Biden, “Christians and Americans of faith are being persecuted like nothing this nation has ever seen before.” Trump has also echoed wild and debunked claims from congressional Republicans about anti-Catholic bias by the Biden administration and the FBI in particular.

Yes, and if you have been following my writings with any attention at all, you will recall that I have already predicted many times that in an authoritarian Regime in Washington, there will be an authorized state religion and anyone who wants to get a job or receive government benefits or rent a house or get married or anything else that we take for granted will have to prove membership in and loyalty to that government-mandated church.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that happened as well the way things are going now. That’s one of the reasons why the Constitution forbids the government from promoting any religious. England did that. If you weren’t a member of the Church of England you couldn’t work in a government job.
When the authoritarians get finished working their works of darkness on the nation, the constitution that you and I have known and loved will be replaced by one of their own devilish making…
It will not get my loyalty….period chuq
Then you shall neither purchase nor buy and all benefits you may be receiving now will be history.
So be it chuq
Certainly the left and Hollywood ridicule Christians relentlessly. Remember Obama said “they love their Bible and their guns” ? However, when democrats think a Bible verse for open borders and unlimited immigration needs digitization, they use what Jesus said “Welcome the stranger”. I’m supposed to do that as I do with my Muslim neighbors who have been very kind to me as well. It does not mean it is the command for the policies of the United States. If we did that such would counter the separation of church and state idea which is so important for all.
I just do not like the idea of a ‘forced religion’….no matter what religion chuq
agree
Whatever he is talking about, he always manages to make it all about him eventually.
Does he even go to church? I don’t think I have ever seen him inside one.
Best wishes, Pete.
Nope but he holds a bible and preaches. chuq
Remember a much more religiously controversial was elected while being flung the lie of wanting to persecute Christians.
Thomas Jefferson.
Sharia law is reviled by that bunch; they prefer their own version of it!
