Good Times Santa Cruz ^ | February 14, 2024 | By Steve Kettman

Posted on 02/14/2024 9:19:52 PM PST by artichokegrower

Santa Cruz filmmaker Dan Partland, an Emmy-Award winner and unflinching voice of sanity in insane times, still remembers what book he was reading over the December 2020 holiday break: Katherine Stewart’s The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism.

We are at a point where this idea of the role of the United States in human history as ordained by God is so central that a lot of American Christians really feel–have convinced themselves–that it is their duty as Christians to undermine democracy


Wait until you try to exist under Sharia law

What a bunch of lies. Satan himself at work. And the author is oblivious to the fact that he is just Satan’s tool.

Yes! YES!!! I’m with you so far!

>> ... that a lot of American Christians really feel–have convinced themselves–

Well, no — have been convinced by the Holy Spirit actually. But do continue! Still mostly with you.

>> that it is their duty as Christians

Yep!! Duty and responsibility are central to living as a disciple of Christ. Please go on...

>> ... to undermine democracy.

LOL!!! NO!!! You perverse, intellectually AND spiritually impoverished fool. Where in the world did you get that logic??? Public skools? Anyway, thanks for playing but no cookie for you...

When our nation was founded on a covenant with God, its people had the most freedom any country ever had.

But tyrants and other democrats have designed to take that freedom from us. (Women and minorities have in truth been the most victimized by them.)

Exactly. The last time I checked, Christians aren’t the ones doing the beheading, raping and throwing alphabet folks off rooftops. That’s mooselimbs who do that evil.

Isaiah 9

6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

“Christian nationalism,” i.e., Christians acting as if they were full citizens who can partake in the democratic process.

Idiots like Dan Partland and Rob Reiner notwithstanding, there was a definite strain of Christian mission among the patriots of the Revolution. When Ethan Allen took Ft Ticonderoga and surprised the camp commandant in his bed, he demanded his surrender “in the name of the great God Jehovah and the Continental Congress!” When the Continental Army was formed into an organized force, they took as their slogan, “No other king but Jesus.” To see this as a threat to democracy however, is pure antiAmerican hate.

Sharia law. Let’s look at the “good side”.

Four wives per husband.
One to cook.
One to clean house.
One to bear children.
One to beat up as a warning to the others.

NO wonder they wear bags on their heads. So no one can see which one has the bruises.(sarc)
