8 months agoThe Handmaid’s Tale sounds practically prophetic with some of this stuff. I guess the peeps could be heard back in the 80s for some of these “Christian nationalist” groups.
Let’s call it what it is, they take Christianity and make it their calling card but follow very few, if any, of the actual calls or teachings of Christ. They want to attach to something which has meaning to validate and give authenticity to a meaningless, and destructive, endeavor.
This is good stuff, pretty aligned with what I was getting at here. I think this way of thinking has been running rampant for a very long time. Even at the time of Christ, there was a number of sentiments that ran counter to Christ’s teachings that ended up entwining with the beliefs of the church. No one is a perfect listener, some are much worse than others…
