Pro-homer, Bible-despising, Demoncratic party-subservient religious left at it again -

I don't know why they didn't quote me for this piece. I told them under no uncertain terms that stupid idea about America having no second-class faiths whether or not we worship at a church, mosque, synagogue, or temple is complete garbage. A Born Again Christian would never say that! To suggest Jesus died on the cross for Christ killing Jews or creepy Mooselimbs is blasphemous! These wolves in sheep's clothing should have just put the millstone around their necks and jumped in the lake instead of leading the next generation of American tithers astray.

Coalition of left-leaning pastors warn against Christian nationalism
A coalition of mostly left leaning pastors have joined a campaign warning against Christian nationalism.
Among the endorsers of the campaign's statement is bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church, the Rev. Michael Curry, a supporter of same-sex marriage who presided over the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The campaign was recently launched by the Baptist Joint Committee, a liberal faith-based group of attorneys, Capitol Hill insiders, ministers and scholars.
The group's statement says: “As Christians, our faith teaches us everyone is created in God’s image and commands us to love one another. As Americans, we value our system of government and the good that can be accomplished in our constitutional democracy. Today, we are concerned about a persistent threat to both our religious communities and our democracy — Christian nationalism.
“Christian nationalism seeks to merge Christian and American identities, distorting both the Christian faith and America’s constitutional democracy. Christian nationalism demands Christianity be privileged by the State and implies that to be a good American, one must be Christian. It often overlaps with and provides cover for white supremacy and racial subjugation. We reject this damaging political ideology and invite our Christian brothers and sisters to join us in opposing this threat to our faith and to our nation,” the statement argues.
“Whether we worship at a church, mosque, synagogue, or temple, America has no second-class faiths. All are equal under the U.S. Constitution. As Christians, we must speak in one voice condemning Christian nationalism as a distortion of the gospel of Jesus and a threat to American democracy,” it added.
National Baptist leaders endorsing and signing the statement opposing Christian nationalism include: Paul Baxley, executive coordinator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship; Jeffrey Haggray, executive director of American Baptist Home Mission Societies; Paula Dempsey, director of partnership relations at Alliance of Baptists; Aidsand Wright-Riggins and Hannah McMahan, co-directors of the New Baptist Covenant; Mitch Randall, executive director of EthicsDaily.com; and Amanda Tyler, executive director of BJC.
Not every Christian group shares those sentiments.
“Any group that equates worshiping at a mosque as the same as in a #church is NOT a #Christian group. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing,” the Holy Word of God Church stated in a reaction to a report on the campaign.
Emerald Robinson, chief White House correspondent for One America News Network, also scoffed at the campaign.
“This must be a Babylon Bee parody: a small gang of liberals (from churches that don't have any followers) are warning people against ‘Christian nationalism.’ Ah yes, the great danger of our time for Christians,” she noted in a tweet.
Andrew Whitehead, a Clemson sociologist studying Christian nationalism, religion, family and disability, encouraged support for the campaign in a tweet on Monday.
“Christian nationalism is—without a doubt—a threat to a pluralistic democratic society. Strong support of Christian nationalism ultimately desires the silencing & exclusion of its opponents from the public sphere. It is un-American,” he wrote.
“Christian nationalism is—without a doubt—a threat to Christianity. The desperate quest f/ power inherent in Christian nationalist ideology is antithetical to Jesus’ message. It is unchristian,” he added.

An absolutely powerful statement, Pastor Zeke. Liberal "Christians" don't understand that Christian Nationalism is as much a part of our faith and our country as Jesus Himself. Without Christian Nationalism there is no Christianity.
Public meetings where government policy is decided, like Congress and City Council meetings, start with Christian prayer. I've never heard of one not starting with prayer. That is Christian Nationalism being being put into practice.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

Only one religion can be right. This is basic common sense. For example, if Hinduism is true, then Scientology is necessarily false. Norse mythology is hardly compatible with Islam. Mormonism quite simply does not mix with Shinto.
Naturally, we know that our faith is the one correct one, for the Bible tells us so. If you're a Catlick and you say that maybe Jews are alright, then you clearly don't believe in your own religion. Any fool who calls themself religious but is open to other faiths might as well just go the whole nine yards, become an atheist, and bow down before Satan, the true deity of ALL religions besides KJV Biblical-literalist fundamentalist True Christianity!

I was interested in the expression second class faiths. How would that be determined? Say if I had a faith requiring certain groups to be exterminated but was prevented from practising that particular element of what I believed or what my source material told me to do. It would be impossible for me to engage 100% with my faith. Isn't that the very definition of second class?
