America was built by (1) slaves, (2) immigrants.

Pilgrims settled here. They didn't build this country. This country was built 150 years later by secular revolutionaries.

This seems to get to the heart of something bugging me.
I have attended a fundamentalist church service within the last six years.
They were pretty blatantly pro Republican, all their fears become our problems.
This election seems to be dividing the people that clearly and loudly proclaim their faith and all the rest of us whom they discriminate against. They don't have to attend church to be culturally Christian either, see half of Appalachia.
This may be the modern equivalent to Oliver Cromwell and the Round Heads, except for all his flaws Oliver actually believed, Donald doesn't.

But of course. That mean old King would not let them practice their religion. How long has Epoch Times been around? Falun Gong, New Tang Dynasty, and the second largest Trump Facebook advertiser. They are also big into QAnon and anti vaccination propaganda and conspiracies. Why would I believe anything written by them? Maybe there were good people on both sides.

I hope my comments won’t be taken as “nasty” but this article is long on political and religious propaganda and fear-mongering, and short on reason and facts.

A giant red flag is when either side claims the other side wants to “destroy our country”. We don’t get to tell the other side what their motivations are, mostly because we are usually not in a position to understand them.

Nobody in their right mind wants to destroy the country they live in - that’s just ‘otherizing’ the enemy - dehumanizing them so we can disregard their wishes (or murder them) without remorse.

Paranoid conspiracy theories are rampant right now, and both sides are losing their minds. We don’t need more GOOD vs EVIL drama.

Quote from the article:
“However, “America is the only government in the world that is a self-correcting government that the people can actually change, rather than just having a dictator change its mind,” he added.”

Really? Is that a fact? Does that even remotely resemble a fact? I think it resembles the meaningless, jingoistic hyperbole that I often see any time Dennis Prager is near. No wonder Christianity is losing membership in the U.S.

Fundamentalist religion and fundamentalist politics are poisonous enough individually, but put them together and you have one deadly recipe.

He's just an actor...

He's entitled to believe whatever he pleases, just like everyone else.
Even if he's wrong.

I agree with the religious freedom

You lost me at “Download our app”. Don’t worry about it though. I hear that it is because of our white privilege. Some can’t help it. I’m still learning about it myself.
