Is White Christian Nationalism good for America?

[Lucy01]

Let's breakdown some other phrases in the same way:

Black Lives Matter

People's Republic of China

Russian National Union

Democratic Party

Inflation Reduction Act . . .

We need more of all of these, too?

All those are as worthless as tits on a Boar Hog!

I fear linking the article and its source may bias the context and answers to this question, but here you go.

White Christian Nationalism

She's catastrophizing a whole lot there. A lot of it is silly. The USA isn't repealing the First Amendment. It isn't going to legislate to keep women out of the workforce, and it isn't going to enact some type of Biblical law.

People identifying as religious is on the down swing here. I doubt that changes anytime soon:

In U.S., Decline of Christianity Continues at Rapid Pace

The religious landscape of the United States continues to change at a rapid clip, with both Protestantism and Catholicism experiencing losses of population share.

The US isn't going to enact Sharia anytime soon, either, but that doesn't stop people from getting their panties in a wad about it.

Good point.

The US isn't going to enact Sharia anytime soon, either, but that doesn't stop people from getting their panties in a wad about it.

Many people in the U.S. live according to Sharia.

 

[CO. Hoosier]

I think she argues that it's been a decades long, very deliberate effort that sort of dovetailed into the rise of Trump. Lending their backing helped lift up Trump. It was a calculated risk to throw their chips in with the MAGA wave, but it's definitely paid off. I don't think you give Evangelicals enough credit for the power and influence they have in some political circles. No Republican president has won without their buy in and support since Nixon, maybe before.

I don’t disagree with your point about Evangelicals and Trump. But I don’t think they are hooked up in series. They are hooked up in parallel.

Will you admit how something like Sharia is actually implemented? Along that line, how would you suggest that America prevents it's implementation.
I'll give you a few minutes yo ruin your own comment.

 

[The Original Happy Goat]

Many people in the U.S. live according to Sharia.

And they are free to do so, but the government isn't free to impose it on the populace. And they aren't going to.

 

[CO. Hoosier]

And they are free to do so

Not all of it. We acquiesce.

 

[The Original Happy Goat]

Not all of it. We acquiesce.

Oh FFS. They are free to do so to the extent that it is not inconsistent with federal and state laws, just as any other religious group is. I respect pedantry, but you're just being ornery at this point.

Sharia is much much more than religion.

 

[The Original Happy Goat]

Sharia is much much more than religion.

And that's a meaningless platitude.

 

[BradStevens]

That’s a fair argument. But I don’t think it applies. Islam and socialism enjoy a measure of objectivity from many. Christian Nationalism doesn’t benefit from that. This thread proves the point.

One thread of comments on a sports message board proves that no one can possibly be objective about Christian Nationalism unless they are, themselves, Christian Nationalists?

Sharia is much much more than religion.

Hopelessly contradicting yourself.

 

[Joe_Hoopsier]

Sharia is much much more than religion.

I think that I know why you said this and are defending Sharia, but I am 100% sure that I would like to read it in your own words. so?

Changes nothing. You're wasting our time.

Actual organizations, countries or laws with track records to be examined.

WCN is open to interpretation.

 

[mcmurtry66]

I read an article about White Christian Nationalism and I’m curious what the overwhelming view of it is on this board. So I’m using a simple pole to gauge your opinion but feel free to add comments of why you do or don’t support WCN.

Eppy looks like there’s a documentary on this on prime called god & country.

 

[mcmurtry66]

This documentary is right on point. The ideal america is a white america. Trump is the farthest thing from Christian values yet secured 81 percent of the Christian vote. Trump plays on racist tropes and it’s most certainly in furtherance of racist beliefs.
