Have Americans Traded Religious Belief For Political Belief? | Morning Joe | MSNBC
One of the best info program about politics
“Religion is the opiate of the masses.” K Marx
All religion in, at least, the past 5,000 years has been used, more effectively than the sword, to hold people down.
As one current example: Christianity was used by slave owners to hold down their oppressed slaves with promises of “the land of milk and honey” after they died. How much better the world would operate if that “land of milk and honey” was Earth.
Southern Baptist and Evangelical Ministers were in the Klan and led the prayers before lynchings and terrorist bombings.
Same as it ever was.
Every injustice, is over something else being of worth, than one another’s well-being!
It’s the well-being of one another that’s TRUELY of worth!
Not a NUMBER!
Taxation, is like throwing a wrench into the gear-box of hospitality, hindering it’s growth and denying one’s guest!
Taxation, is a dishonor to one another, denying the worth of each other, for something else, perceived as greater worth, than oneself….
If mammon is unright, WHY do people continue to live for and support, what is not right….?
EYE-DOLLAR-TREE is Anti-Christ!
Have no other worth (God), besides Me!
Where one another is of worth, there is no cost…. It’s priceless!
– the homeless in Babylon.
HE’S US! (In the mirror suffering the MONOPOLY of make-believe worth!)
I believe believers are easier to deceive, since they believe in lies and are therefore easier to convince of more lies.
“Christian Nationalism” or an epidemic of cults under their leader – the soon to be indicted criminal – PUBLIC ENEMY #1 – the ridiculous travesty of and FAKE 45th president.
Surely both were always intertwined, and always about power any money. Go visit the Vatican or a Mormon tabernacle and see the wealth dripping from the walls while working people struggle to pay tithing.
Trump bought out the evil in America and they can’t go back to faking who they are. We have enemies and terrorists in our country and some are politicians. The worst are republicans who keep saying the kkk is in the democrat party when the republican party only supports white nationalist and anyone against black prosperity. Too much corruption and money laundering to help spread hate across the country.
Interesting question. Looking back over the past years of Trump, it was Evangelicals who supported, legitimatize and empowered him into a superhuman demigod status.
Well since so many preachers talk politics, id have to disagree. Politics isn’t replacing religion, religion is eating politics. It’s not called the religious right cuz the left isn’t religious. It’s the religious right, cuz those 2 things are just one phrase, describing conservatives in America.
We have a Dementia Teleprompter president! No questions allowed!
brilliantly said, ty both. t** has become the only ‘god’ the gop worships, rather than God.
Secular people aren’t filling the void of religion with politics, they’re fighting against the obscene religious establishment.
Why does Joe continually push religion? Religion pedals a lack of critical thinking for some. Itโs designed for a less sophisticated society.
Grow up and take responsibility for yourself, there is no god looking after you.
Republicans are using peopleโs faith against them. Peopleโs willingness to believe without asking any questions.
If you want to mix government and religion. Churches should pay taxes too.
Some fake pastors are miss up American. Like following trump idolize
Yes, Trump is god and America loves him
It’s not Americans it’s Republicans. It must be true Republicans give up their God before they’ll give up their party. I’m shocked to see the televangelist worship Trump the Republicans golden calf. It’s clear to see who gave up their God for politics.
About 1/3 of the country can’t discern religion from politics. And fascism has always relied on perverting the faithful for power. Maga was a christian extremist movement in all but name from day one
Many i know left Christianity because of their heavy sway over too politics. I left the church after 30 years in 2015 because of it. Ill follow God, Jesus and other Prophets but Christianity is just a joke now after Trumpism.
Christianity (or any religion for that matter) is looking less attractive because people are waking up to the fact that none of it is real.
Separation of church and state. Mega churches should not be exempt from taxes. Religious donations to politicians should be banned.
โCome to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.โ -JESUS
โญโญMatthewโฌ โญ11:28-30โฌ
Religion is the belief and worship of a superhuman controlling power, a God, who was not a man, but a ideology, just think where Charlton’s and con men can take such a concept, of course it’s replaced it’s original intent it did so hundreds of years ago.
the reason Christianity is in trouble with young people is they are reading the history of all religion and see that those organizations are terrorist groups that want to dictate not obey gods law.
