Rejecting Christian Nationalism Is What Jesus Would Do

Whether they speak from the halls of power or the front of a sanctuary, Rep. Greene and her ilk know exactly what they are doing when they so proudly embrace the label of Christian nationalist. Each explicit declaration of Christian nationalism is a blatant attempt to pull the wool over people’s eyes and make the anti-democracy extremist ideology seem safe and more palatable, distracting us from the right’s project of seizing power to remake America into a theocracy in their image—a nation where the LGBTQ community, people of color, and non-Christians all lose rights while evangelicals and conservative Catholics are put permanently in charge.

They are America’s false prophets. And Jesus warned us about them.


********************************

We can't expect MTG, or Lauren Boebert, or Michael Flynn (or their ilk) to actually understand the garbage that comes out of their own mouths.

We certainly can't expect them to understand the true nature of Christianity. Someone once told them that there was a bible verse about men laying with men being an abomination--so now they think they've got Christianity figured out.
