I have what used to be a close Trumper friend (he ended the relationship because I supported the Muslim’s who wanted to kill us all per the Koran) He would bet me every Election and lose like 14 times for every win. It got so bad I had to moderate how much money to take. if their was a bad investment he would make it. He would buy at the top of every market (or lock in an annuity at 2% interest). 1 Quote

Not sure there is a link between education levels and Theocracy, but it wouldn't surprise me. Not trying to be anti-religous but there is a pretty long history of religion seeking to repress education. In that sense ignorance can be seen as a desired outcome. 2 1 Quote

Eliminating access to education is a core part of many conservative/extremist organizations. Easier to control the masses when they can't think for themselves. Easier to dictate what they should think. Nations led by religious institutions tend to be abusive. 1 Quote

A good buddy of mine, along with his wife, still go to church. We never discuss religion which is why we're still good friends. The only religious question I once asked him was if there were a lot of families with kids who attend the Sunday services. He told me they were all older people. It makes sense why the religious right is trying to eliminate the separation of church and state. They need younger members. It was during middle school that I stopped attending church since I had a conflict between science and what they were preaching in church. I still don't believe 100% in Evolution nor a Supreme Being, so I'm agnostic. That's just me, but to each his/her own. 3 1 Quote

Nevada Convert Posted July 15, 2024 Posted July 15, 2024 It’s funny how these threads are cool, but if there’s a thread doing the same to the woke crazy left, our resident crybabies on the left can’t handle it. 1 1 1 Quote

Everytime I questioned doctrine of whatever Church I was attending, the reply was basically, "Pray about it and allow your faith to overcome your doubts." I called Bullshit everytime. Quote

SWspartan Posted July 16, 2024 Posted July 16, 2024 I left the evangelical church I was going to for a long time because the Pastor started pushing the Christian Nationalist agenda. So for the past three years I've been attending a mainline church and the Pastor there hasn't mentioned politics once. I'm glad I made the move. 🕊️ 1 Quote
