You know what really grinds my gears: When billionaire tech bros co-opt Christianity to build their own personal political army, turning Sunday sermons into voter registration drives for their authoritarian wet dreams.
While reading this, I pondered on the book I'm reading, Simon Schama's weighty tome, "Citizens", a deep dive into the times of the French Revolution, & the book my husband is reading, Henry Miller's, "Air Conditioned Nightmare", - a poetic survey & scathing takedown of the US in the 40s.
Plus ça change....!
Although we see it & resist it & try to make our world better, the people greedy for power & money just keep coming around.
Great writing as usual! I did not even know about this organization, however, it doesn’t really surprise me. I wonder, if we look at the history of religion, going back centuries, maybe even millennia, would we see this same story in action over and over? Religion utilizes the actual faith of the truly devoted to its own ends.
It's hard to believe that so many are falling for this shit. Still, maybe we have too much compassion on those being manipulated. Ezekiel 15 shows that although we're chosen by Grace, we don't get a free pass to be unrighteous.
The last is a long history of manipulating faith for political purposes. Think Constantine rallying his Christian troops before the battle whose name I don't remember. Not new but just as ugly. I, for one, am ready to die for this planet as long as everyone else dies with me. Long live the cockroaches. They may do better. They certainly won't be able to do worse.
Wow Wendy, I was so excited to read this article, since I have studied Christian nationalism. I’m so glad that you’re putting this information out there so people can be aware of what is going on behind the scenes in the churches. Political activism that’s exactly what it is. Joel Osteen is a perfect example. He’s raking in millions per day. His audience looks like a Super Bowl event enmass.. you hit on a good point . SECRECY is the key. Isn’t that their MO on how they operate ?Thats why I love this article. Spreading AWARENESS!! This is passive resistance in ACTION!! How can we fight against something, if we’re not AWARE of the problem? I support your activism 💯. Keep posting and I’ll repost. Let’s all fight these dangerous ‼️ hypocrite’s together.
Thank you, Wendy.I love your humor. I love your writing style. I’ll continue to support you anyway I can. Your article rocked me so much that I’m becoming a paid subscriber. I ask the readers to do the same. Let’s support the people that are fighting. They are fighting. They are the resistance that is pushing back against this shit. I’m restacking the shit 💩 outta this. You go girl! Your passion and 🔥 fire are exactly what we need .😊👍
Sry for the lengthy comment. haha 🤣 I strike again! Can I plez add? Ty. These ppl are fkn SERIOUS. They are extremely organized. What we should fear is their objective.The strategy. Flood the ELECTION 🗳️ by swaying the voters.The numbers are growing every service. POLITICAL ACTIVISTS. CONTROL and MONEY to feed the machine.
Great as usual & wrenching as well. Brought back memories ♥️

They are blind and deaf by choice
