Suggestion for the Christian Left [View all]

MAGA and the NatC takeover of the US began decades ago. The movement is deeply centered in NatC churches and, when the Republicans partnered with evangelicals they contracted a virus. That virus has now killed the host and threatens the entire country.

During all of this the Christian Left took a very tolerant, "turn the other cheek", agree to disagree approach. For those of us outside now any claims of "those aren't real christians" are very hollow.

But I think there may be a away to rally the Christian left and middle and activate them the way that the NatCs have been activated for decades.

You have to recognize that Christian Nationalism is a threat to existence of your churches. Your pastors need to talk about it from the pulpit.

NatCs believe that the first amendment is written solely to protect christianity from government. They believe that separation of church and state is evil. So, of course, their solution is to seize hold of the state. But these kinds of movements never have a stopping point. Their quest for purity will become more and more exclusive.

This is why your churches are at risk. I'm sure that your pastors try to stay within the bounds of the 501(c)(3) requirement against lobbying. NatC churches don't care. They lobby every Sunday from the pulpit. I encourage you to ask your pastors to take up this issue - your fellow parishioners need to get out and vote against any and all republicans because they WILL come to shut your churches down for being too liberal and being "sanctuaries" for horrible progressive ideals like DEI, women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, etc.

The Christian Left needs to stand up and show itself if it wants to survive.
