Liberal Democrats are leaving the church. Many have made themselves God.

A church that ignores the Bible and the rare ones that don’t.

Srednik most highly recommends Bible churches where the Gospel is preached and the preacher teaches how to be born agai. fromon high. See Nohn chapter 3 for details.

I just found out there are six churches in NYC that use the Latin form of the mass. I only knew of one.

The parishioners tend to be conservative at that one; probably true of the others as well.

Many conservative Catholic churches around. Even in Oregon!

Black Protestants (13%) were least likely to have left a church due to politics.

The reason is simple: there is no such thing as a conservative Black Protestant church.

I went to the Catholic mass in Seaside a few years ago. African celebrant, like the previous pastor.

Interesting about the conservative ones.

Many years ago, a ship wrecked guy was discovered on a island.

The captain of the boat that found him asked for a tour of where he lived before they left the island.

Man showed his hut and several outbuildings describing each. Guy showed him one and said it was his Church.

Captain was impressed with the man keeping his religion.

They walked past another outbuilding without the man commenting.

Captain asked; What is this structure?

The shipped wrecked guy replied; Oh that is my old Church.

A rainbow flag in front of a church is a red flag for me.

South Bend elected that poofter for a Mayor, and you know a lot of those folks who voted for him are affiliated with the University.

Atheists (16%) were least likely to have shopped for a new church.

Not surprising.

You cannot be a strong democrat and go to a Bible believing church. It is simply not compatible. So if you’re a pinko, you go to a pinko church, you hear leftist claptrap and it gets old after a while, it sounds just like what your professor says, what your atheist friends say, and what the dudes down at the bar say. I mean, why even try to go to church after a while, there’s nothing there, simply a hollowed out shell.
A Bible believing church is a conservative church. That is simply all there is to it.

I respectfully disagree with you. In our area is a conservative “traditionally black” Baptist church. It has attracted quite a few white refugees from local mainstream churches “gone woke”. Now it’s about 2/3 black conservatives, 1/3 white conservatives.

Yep, there’s no way to finesse “You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination”.

But the proggies still try...

Politics is a direct extension of your religion.

You cannot compartmentalize one part of your life out of your Christian life.

You are either all in, or you’re not in at all!

"[...] you’d sit next to someone who's a Republican, someone who's Democrat, and you'd get a little bit of cross-cutting discussion going," he said.

Yeah, but that "banter" most likely consisted of, "So, you goin' fishin' this weekend?" or "Saw your son at last Saturday's football game. Did real good!"

Or, if it got real political, "So, you votin' for Jones (D), who supports building a second firehouse, or for Smith (R), who thinks we ought instead to expand the existing firehouse?"

Nowadays, the first words out of your pew neighbor are likely to be, "We're having a 'Re-assignment Party' for our 13-year-old, Chad - er, I mean: Cheryl - next Saturday. Care to come? Oh, and of course: Bring your Significant Other, too!"

Regards,
