First Baptist Church Dallas hosted Trump and evangelicals with a very cultish type Independence Day celebration. The excerpted video makes one believe they are living in an alternate state of reality showing the choir singing 'Make America Great Again' and Pastor Jeffress saying Trump is God giving America a second chance.

(67,111 posts)others that fleece the flocks! Gullible, gullible, gullible. And Trump wants to build an army of them. This guy Trump is more dangerous to the stability and longevity of America as a democracy than an outright invasion force.

(82,849 posts)Clothing the naked, comforting the sick and imprisoned, is that where we're going with this? Will we hold all things in common, distributed to each according to their need? Will we structure the society so that those who have much do not have too much, and that those who have little do not have too little?
Something tells me these are not real high priorities on First Baptist's list.

It's tragic and sad.
But as they as pose a danger, we can't simply write them off.
All theocrats pose a danger. Once you start declaring America a "Christian Nation" you've become a theocrat - you've become a danger.
There is a huge difference between saying the majority religion held by people is christianity and saying this is a Christian nation.
Calling America a "Christian Nation" is something only a theocrat would embrace.

Republicans have the formula: throw out religious words and platitudes, along with the cut taxes meme and a big dash of racism, and you've got their votes.
