US continues to go backward...

I say the same thing about all these conservative Christians who adore this man...my family (mon, dad, siblings) are all about Christianity, go to church every Sunday, consider themselves Godly people, yet totally and cultishly love tRump...it baffles my mind that Christians hold this vile person in such high regards...I honestly can´t figure it out...it make zero sense to me...
The Bible describes the Antichrist as a deceitful, lawless individual who opposes God, exalts himself above all gods, and performs false miracles to gain global power and influence. He is the "man of lawlessness" (2 Thessalonians 2:3) and the "beast" (Revelation 13) who will rise to world dominance, deceive multitudes, persecute believers, and ultimately be defeated by Christ.


Key Characteristics
Deception and False Miracles: The Antichrist uses "all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie" to deceive people.

Blasphemous and Self-Exalting: He will "exalt himself over everything that is called God," demanding worship as if he were God.

Lawlessness: The Antichrist is called the "man of lawlessness" for his complete opposition to God's law and his attempt to change times and laws.

Global Political and Economic Power: He will gain immense influence and become a tyrannical world leader.
 
IMO it’s because a lot of America’s Christianity is a brand to be consumed and no where close to a faith to be lived out in our daily lives.
I would normally agree with that, if not for my personal experience - my family...I was raised in church, went twice on Sunday and Wed. nights...dad was a deacon and music minister...and yet, like I said, they worship the orange man...totally confusing to me...

Have you asked them why? Im curious as to why people consider a guy who was notorious for committing adultery more religious than a Methodist Baptist and Catholic.

had a late night discussion before last election with them (siblings)...they mostly say the ole ´he has changed´ and ´judge not´ BS, etc. Said he is a great President and loves this country...I tried to say he was a Bad President the first time, and that Many ´experts´ said he is easily bottom 5 all time; they didn´t care about that, they know what he did as President and he was good(sigh)...I said he was divisive and will be again, they say Obama started the divide of our Nation....anyways, you get the idea, he did and does not wrong as a President...that´s why I genuinely believe it is a cult or at least cultish

You think Obama’s ethnicity has anything to do with it?

No wonder in 2024 Trump on video placed his hand on his heart and said, "I'm not Christian". Ignore this warning sign at your own risk. On the other hand, some may say Trump as the anti-Christ is just an act, like a reality show. He's not really.
 
So MAGA wants it's followers to not attend college, get vaccinations, take medications, etc. etc.

I see this turning out really well for y'all in 20ish years.

Yes. Free speech is only available for the right.

I was raised similar. I practically lived at my childhood church growing up. Long story short, my wife and I stopped going to church several years ago and while I hate that we haven't gotten back with our kids, the thought of what "Christianity" has turned into around here gives us the icks. I've lost a lot of respect for a lot of the elders in churches I've been a part of bc I just can't fathom how you can worship both God and Donald Trump...
 
Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet said that the shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas was "connected" to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

One of my kids went through something similar. I encouraged them to gather 1 time per month on the same night every month w a group of friends for dinner. Keep it small (10-12). They actually included someone else from 500 miles away on FaceTime who ate the same meal. Leave politics at the door. That is a hard rule. Share life. The ups of the past month and the downs. Talk about ways to improve someone else’s life and take concrete steps to follow through (something simple like mowing a yard, cleaning someone’s house, stocking a food pantry at a local college). This past year has been the happiest year for them and their sense of community has never been better. They now gather for a meal every other week.
