    It was all a big lie. The huge hypocrisy of Christian actions versus the commandments and curses of Yesuha. He commanded pure communist arrangement of property and wealth. It is easier for camel to pass through the eye of a needle blah blah. Acts of the apostles ch 2-5, you can serve the Lord or Mammom , you cannot serve both. Money and property are GOD to the majority of Americans , but they claim they are ‘’Christian’’.

    I was raised a Seventh Day Adventist. I no longer attend church but do believe many of their doctrines, to this day. I will say this, one of the most important doctrines was about the destruction of the separation of church and state. It will not be a positive thing, when it happens. It will, as I was taught the beginning of the end. The Time of Trouble. Read about it if you care to. Although I was taught, since the 60’s, that this Would Happen I have Never been less in doubt that it Will happen. Look at Louisiana and the current Supreme Court. I hope I’m wrong.

    I don't know how far away we are from the situation in Bonhoeffer's time. With notable exceptions, the German clergy let church life be contaminated by Nazism, which denied the humanity of children of God, comparing them with vermin. We can only be sure that if a dictatorship comes to power in the USA, there are plenty of churches just waiting for the opportunity to fulfill the role the "German Christians" did in Nazi Germany. Like them, the Christian Right stands for a hyphenated Christianity, subjugating the churches to an ideology in conflict with all the main teachings of Jesus, especially the virtues of humility, compassion, and solidarity with the most vulnerable. Like Germany in the Weimar Republic, neither the churches nor society at large are prepared for the emergency we could face if Project 2025 is implemented. However, we can take some hope from this: In today's Germany, the mainstream churches oppose the far right and support democratic values.

    I have the utmost respect for Burns, he asked great questions, but his guest Tippett did not offer much in the conversation. On one of the most important issues facing our nation, Christen Nationalism, she had little more than platitudes, such as that we live in interesting times and how people are working outside institutions. Now, I am open to looking at other ways of thinking, but we are staring down the gun of a violent and antidemocratic movement fueled by hate, fear and religious zeal. The old saying, the only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good people do nothing is applicable here. Religious leaders must reestablish the Christian message of love and forgiveness. They must affirm that man cannot know the mind and will of God, and therefore we cannot judge, condemn and punish others in the name of God. They must reject the hate, intolerance and violent nature of this extreme religion. Also, religious leaders must defend the rights of liberty and freedom which our democratic government is founded. For there can be no freedom of religion without the freedom from religion. It is time for all good people to stand for the values our constitution aspires to. Although our nation has failed time and time again to fully live up to those high ideals, it is our responsibility to uphold and push forward the franchise of equality and humanity.

    It seems to me that the teachings of spiritual leaders tend to embrace simplicity. The golden rule is a simple teaching. So is Love God and your neighbor. These commandments are unconditional. There's no love your God and/or your neighbor "if". Practicing love, mercy, compassion, and kindness makes my life meaningful. and brings me profound joy.

    I have become very interested in hearing the stories of Native and African Americans who give us a more diverse understanding of American history. I also wonder now how much of the immigration from Africa to Europe and from many nations to the US is linked to climate change which creates political instability to due drought and the loss of crops. I have grown more pessimistic because if the right takes much more control over Europe and the US ( many of them are climate deniers and many of them want to restrict immigration)that many people in 3rd world countries, living on islands in the oceans, and coastal communities will simply die from ocean rise and/or drought. We have heroes who are like the hobbits in LOTR.

    Often wonder what the founding fathers, including one from our mothers side, would think of this excellent conversation. Am reminded of James H. Hutson chief of the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress and the author of Religion and the Founding of the American Republic, who wrote, 'In his seminal Letter on Toleration (1689), John Locke insisted that Muslims and all others who believed in God be tolerated in England. Campaigning for religious freedom in Virginia, Jefferson followed Locke, his idol, in demanding recognition of the religious rights of the 'Mahamdan,' the Jew and the 'pagan.' Supporting Jefferson was his old ally, Richard Henry Lee, who had made a motion in Congress on June 7, 1776, that the American colonies declare independence. 'True freedom,' Lee asserted, "embraces the Mahomitan and the Gentoo (Hindu) as well as the Christian religion.' Reading John Adams, February 22, 1756 where he wrote 'Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God ... What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be.' How far we have come from the ideals of temperance (moderation or self-restraint),frugality, having a serious work ethic, true justice, true kindness and charity as a citizenry. Our family are Christians, and these ideals are very Biblical. Often am reminded of Matthew 25 where Christ notes what we do to the least we are doing to him. 'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ Yet sadly, I have yet to hear any Christian nationalist speak of that.
