Bad day to be a terrorist

Marjorie Taylor Greene "I am a Christain and a Nationalist" Pretty much tells her story.

 

[GO-NAD!]

hate to break it to you but there weren’t many “good” people in the Bible. The Bible is amazing because it teaches how God uses really messed up people to great things. Nobody thinks Trump is a good person but a lot of people think in spite of his shortfalls he is best for this country right now.

Using Christian and Nationalist in the same sentence as a derogatory term is getting old.

From a Twitter thread. THIS is a prime example of Christian Nationalism:

I don’t disagree with that at all, Russia has become a Christian Nationalist State that in my opinion doesn’t resemble Christianity, Putin is pure evil.

I have been curious as Russia is referred to in the Bible as a Sheep nation in the end times. Obviously we don’t understand what that will look like because Russia is also listed with the Middle East, Northern Africa and France being the Coalition that attacks Israel. This is a separate battle and happens before Armageddon. Lots of stuff going on right now so I guess we’ll all find out together

If look at it historically in Europe after WWII the churches in dictatorships where captured by the state, some churches more than others but none unaffected. Some churches even agreed with the dictators or otherwise supported them. During the communist dictatorships in East Europe it was common that priests stationed abroad were informing on their constituents.

It's even happening in USA, a democracy, around Donald Trump with the White Evangelical Church that was first captured by GOP and deepened under Trump. You're quite insular but there really are things to learn though that are frightening, and indeed, Europe has some lessons for you. Your Founding Fathers did, and then some. Your Constitution became a model for a number of other countries, including Norway in 1814 when that was written They did not follow all of it, sadly, especially about church and state.
