Noted. However, this shit is rampant throughout the whole of the American Christian zeitgeist. Are there some factions that are more insulated than others? Sure. But, that underlining sentiment still exists all throughout the American Christian experience.

Legalism is a major human failing. We love nothing more than to find or promote laws, secular or religious, that mandate others to behave in accordance with our own preferences and views. Unfortunately, Christians, despite the numerous instructions from Christ not to judge others, are not immune to this failing. In fact, I think the evidence is pretty damning that it’s the biggest failing in many Christian sectors today.

I sadly agree. I say all of this, as someone who grew up in a pretty generic American protestant church. This mentality is a cancer.

As a small anecdotal example:

I remember my church passing out flyers when I was a kid. The flyers looked a lot like the disinformation memes we see now on the internet. They stated, in no uncertain terms, that the children's cartoon, Captian Planet, was of the devil and parents should not allow their children to watch, because it promotes worship of nature, and Jesus would be against the environmental liberal ideals.

This is but one example. This shit was everywhere back then, and is even more insidious now. The right wing has fully taken over the American Christian institution as a whole, and use it purposefully to promote their own sick, twisted, and unchristian beliefs.

Captain Planet was the shit.

It's funny...Christians believe God created the Earth, but they don't want to do anything to save it.

You've got to be kidding. The same Christians that insist that their god is the one and only god? As brutal as some of the Pagan's practices were, they at least were cool with you if you add another god on your list to worship.

Nah..the list had about 100 titles...all challenged and asked to be removed...at one time an elderly woman was checking books out and censoring language in them with a magic marker...she ruined a lot of books before she was discovered and had her card blocked...she was censoring old Louis L'Amour westerns and romance novels..anything with sex, cursing, etc.

Not everyone who cries, "Lord! Lord!" will enter the kingdom of heaven...,,

Still waiting to hear who decides what books to ban.

I have read books I like, books I love, books that bored me, books that were silly, books that upset me, and books I thought were flat out wrong in basic premise. But of the thousands of books I have read, not one has harmed me.

Careful, some do bite!
 
DeathSantis has rewritten public school curriculum. The new curriculum was prepared by conservative Christian college. It is full of Christian indoctrination, downplays slavery. College accreditation and tenure systems are being revised. They will be evaluated on whether they have enough conservatives.

They are not evaluating police departments to see if they have enough progressives.

It is straight no-mask fascism. And anyone still supporting the republican party is an actual fascist. Now we know what the kind of people that went along with the Nazis are like. Congrats Republicans.
 
Sure, it's true that we're turning into a fascist hive like country, but at least now we can make fun of the gheys, the trans and women can't have abortions!

When Biden was elected, my vet friend told me, "well, that buys us four years to get ready before we have to leave."

Two years remain.

who are the "we" that your friend speaks of? (I don't mean that sarcastically, just wondering what group they were referring to, if not all of us)
