Nope, the "we weren't actually saying that it's a problem" misdirect doesn't work. Trying to reinforce and give the impression that your bogeyman is influential and relevant, you know that's BS, so we're just here to remind you that you and he are full of it.

---

That's why there's no point in arguing about it. Your mind is already made up. It is true, by the way, that much of what the Left calls Christian nationalism is just part of our political tradition. It's also true that real Christian nationalism helped fuel the J6 riot, but you're not going to acknowledge that regardless of the evidence.

---

But what is your definition? And, you say "it exists." I won't argue that because just about every kind of person one could think of "exists." The question is, how prevalent do you believe it is according to your definition?

I've spent a fair amount of time googling the issue as you suggest, and I see everything from "A patriotic Christian" to "Christians who think only Christians should be in government and/or our laws should be based on the Bible."

And the reason many of us are "defensive" about it is that the characterization has become part of the left's and the media's everyday lexicon. I'm a Christian (first and foremost) and conservative (mostly) who loves the U.S. According to many, that alone means I'm a dangerous Christian Nationalist.

---

Political terms are slippery. I've been called everything from a radical leftist to a Christo-fascist. I'm neither, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

In my view, Christian nationalists want to privilege Christianity over other religions (for example Mike Flynn saying that one nation implies one religion). They also tend to privilege private revelation over reason and the law (for example Eric Metaxas saying that when God gives you a vision, you don't need to know anything else).

2nd try

Seem to recall you declaring you're Catholic.

If so do you see CN where you regularly attend Mass ?

If so in what form ?

---

No, I don't see it.

---

Neither do I.

---

It's more of an evangelical or fundamentalist phenomenon. I can't say my church is completely immune to it, though. Catholicism has never been wedded to democracy. There is some sympathy with the anti-democratic feelings of the Protestant political right even if the theology is different.

---

Cradle Catholic……have never heard or seen any anti democratic rhetoric.

None of our Protestant friends are anti democratic.


Not sure where you have experienced such feelings.

You need to start thinking about who has power and money and fit that into your equation.

Realistically there's no threat of Christian nationalism because its the boogeyman of most media, there's no real money behind it and where it exists its astronomically small.

However, the radical left has billions of dollars behind it through DEI, most universities along with media and entertainment are deeply cultured for the advancement of radical leftism. Younger generations overwhelmingly support it, so when boomers die out it will be imbedded in everything.

It's more the case where being a Christian in the future might get you cancelled from society. If you're a Christian you should know this is coming.

---

This is similar to the woke argument that only whites can be racist because they have the money and the power. I'm well aware of the anti-Christian bigotry on the left. It doesn't change the fact that dangerous ideas also exist and have increasing influence on the right.

---

What dangerous ideas have major support on the right?

Its not similar to that woke argument because white people don't have a monopoly on money/power. It is a fact that the left has a monopoly on media, entertainment and academia

Is this liberal Christian nationalism?

Maybe we can call it pro-Regime Christianity?

USA Empire Christianity?

That's Christian Fascism.

The Old Groomer got butthurt on a flight ... he found some of the mysterious "Christian Nationalism."

https://www.foxnews.com/media/liberal-journalist-ripped-complaining-about-flight-attendant-wishing-her-blessed-night-grow-up

Went to Mass tonight in Kilkenny Ireland.

Magnificent Church ( Saint John ) but only about 70 people attending. The Priest was from Uganda.

The Catholic Church is in a huge decline throughout Europe.

Doubt this trend will be reversed for centuries, if at all.

47, would celebrating Israeli military victories be considered Christian Nationalism?

We'll still be here.

"Using survey data from 2020 through 2023, the study found 44% of Orthodox churches remained open during the pandemic, compared to just 12% of all U.S. congregations. Only 31% of Orthodox priests publicly encouraged parishioners to get vaccinated compared to 62% of all clergy."

"Margitich said his church has grown from about 80 people on a Sunday morning in the pre-pandemic months of 2020 to about 180 people today. This year, St. Seraphim of Sarov Cathedral has experienced more baptisms than ever before in Margitich's 27-year career, he said, with 20 people catechized in the spring and 20 more in the process of conversion."

"Veronis' church also experienced atypical growth, from 150 regular monthly attendees in 2019 to about 220 today, he said. Most joined during the pandemic and are young adults under the age of 35."

My parish doubled in size and we consistently have about a dozen new Catachumens a year.

Does your school's sports message board have creatures weirdly obsessed with spewing divisive political blather?

Apparently so.

---

He's a troll desperate for attention. This ridiculous post, like almost all of his, are more silly blather. It's difficult to take any of it very seriously. Sad thing, though, is that Leftists often do believe their nutty propaganda. Many really will vote for Kamala.

Nowadays "Christian Nationalism" is a Leftist dog whistle providing them a way to attack Christian's in general. If you are an outspoken Christian and believe in Christian morality and public policy based upon Christian principles, in other words must GOP voters, you are evil.

Also, one mush always bd careful using Wikipedia, especially for hit button issues. It's often fascist propaganda disguised as fact, regularly spewing lies and half truths and any effort to correct misinformation is quickly "fact checked" and the lies restored. I think it's probably most notorious with listings on the climate cult, etc.

Thank you good stuff

Sam Lowry "I'm not saying it is. Your typical Democrat isn't a Marxian critical theorist, either. But like anyone else they will vote for their party and find a way to justify it. Ideas have consequences. History teaches that it's a grave mistake to ignore the influence of the passionate minority. Our own revolutionary war was supported by a minority of the colonists. The basic sentiments of a person like Metaxas, for example that evidence doesn't matter when you're on a righteous mission, are shared by many if not most on this board. Whether they share a detailed theological framework doesn't necessarily matter. When ideology resonates with people's grievances, it's more than capable of evolving and spreading even in simplified form"

Thanks Sam.

A comment from me -- As a "typical Democrat" (not a caricature as the Board would have it) I vote party up and down the ballot. Since the Republican party adopted the Southern Strategy for winning elections I quit voting for any GOP candidates. I could not stomach the racism of the party. The strategy demonizes African Americans, LGBTQ people, minorities, migrants, and women seeking control of their own bodies.
The strategy has also involved directly promoting conservative views on immigration - "it's an invasion and they are killing Americans, rapists, insane, criminals, taking their jobs so be afraid be very afraid."
taxes - cut taxes but keep on spending as W and Trump
social welfare - it makes black men lazy and promotes 'welfare queens'
states' rights. "Let the states decide about abortion" never mind that abortion restrictions are still in the hands of a government. Government in the medical exam room whether Federal or state denies women freedom.

Intelligent essay on the concept:

https://notthebee.com/takes/thoughts-on-the-funniest-christian-nationalism-accusation-yet

Upshot: Christian Nationalism does not actually exist.

Think there is a big a projection here. Your positions on those subjects are about as anti-democratic and authoritarian as they come.

Some day there will be a comprehensive study on this, and it will overwhelmingly prove that the religious left when compared to the dreaded white evangelical:

- is far more politically active
- is far more politically homogenous
- expressly ties its political positions
- talks politics more from the pulpit
- demonizes its opponent to a greater extent
- believes our government should be patterned of its beliefs
- is far less likely to associate with people with opposing political/religious views

There are already pieces of this kind of this kind of study, and the results are unsurprising.

So what?

I saw Christian Nationalism and Project 2025 hanging out together planning a repeat of January 6th in case Trump loses.

Because Marxist-infected organizations with historical ties to churches are far more dangerous to democracy and freedom than any so-called "Christian nationalist" bogeyman created by the Marxist authoritarians.

Not to mention there seems to be zero concern for "Muslim nationalism" ... the Marxist morons did invent "Queers for Palestine."

These are half-truths at best. You also expressed support for the disinformation board, citing what you believed to be rampant disinformation as the need for it. And the idea that the lockdowns you proposed weren't "uncontroversial" is disingenuous at best. You wanted to go much further than what many of the states had done, saying they didn't go far enough. And I noticed you didn't dispute you supported enforcement of the vaccine mandates.

As I suggested, you're an authoritarian who has supported anti-democratic positions. For you to be complaining about evangelicals being anti-democratic - a subject you seem to know nothing about - is the height of irony.
