American Christians need to forcefully address the sin of Republicanism and until they do they will have nothing of value to say to a culture far more aligned with Jesus than they themselves are.
We should talk more about how much U.S. Christianity has been captured by a fairytale that as soon as things are at their worst they’ll be vanished to a holy gated all-inclusive, leaving the unchosen behind to suffer, and how comfortable this makes them w/the suffering of others.
When your cosmology is an evacuation strategy for you and a handful of chosen, beloved of a god who will out of his very goodness torture the rest eternally, you get Republican Christians. A reflection of their own evil god.
If you are a part of an eternal saved elect within a mass of rightfully doomed unrepentants who earned eternal torture from the moment of their birth, I’d observe you get pretty comfortable with segregation and torture and imprisonment and draconian punishment in this life, too.
And yes there are a whole lot of Christians who don’t believe this.

Good!

They need to say so, forcibly, unequivocally, even though they know it will cause discomfort for them in their relationships with those that do.

This madness must cease.
Tolerance is a concept ill-understood by the intolerant. More on that shortly.

But the idea that a Christian should not address radicalized Christianity without addressing radicalized Islam is a foolish one. First the log in my own eye, sir.
Christ’s example was one with all power divesting himself if it to sacrifice on behalf of enemies.

Republicanism is American Christianity’s successful attempt to use political power to sequester themselves from enemies, enforcing their own moral standards upon them under threat.
It is the duty of all Christians to announce unequivocally that Republicanism is a sin.

The church is dying of Republicanism. The medicine it must take is hearing and accepting the truth.
Plane’s taking off. Someone say the benediction and close us in prayer, I’m out.
