People need to understand that there is a legitimate War on Truth and
this GOP Administration has taken it to the next level after years of
very patient hate and fear conditioning of their followers. We need to
promote the idea of this War on Truth as adamantly as the other side
promoted their fake War on Christmas.

Is Modern Evangelicalism a Political Bastardized Christianity?
I don't really understand the Evangelical Christian political power grab
fixation. It's idolatry in my educated assessment. Dominionism is about
taking over a country and forcing religious law on a society, that's
what is happening as we speak. Pastors who leave their first love, the
love of Christ and church to try to climb the political power ladder are
the saddest examples of this bastardized Christianity.
Jesus Christ rejected political power. The story of Satan tempting him with the kingdoms of the world was a political power offer. Christ rejected it. Christ was later recorded as rejecting political fame and glory again when the people expressed their desire for him to lead a revolution against the Roman occupiers. Yet here we are, still watching church leaders grab for political power even though Jesus was dead set against it. The Good News was not about taking over and forcing moral laws on people. Christ's kingdom is in the hearts of men, not in political office. Modern evangelicalism becomes a false religion when the primary focus is gaining political power. It's nothing new for sure, but it's certainly in the spotlight again and constantly bringing reproach to the name of Christ.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness..
“Travel
is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our
people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable
views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little
corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
- Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad/Roughing It
Many modern humans now have tv and internet so we don't even have to travel to gain a world perspective..but people still insist on remaining ignorant and bigoted. There's just no excuse anymore.
