    trump speaks with a forked tongue. I used to feel bad for the ones who can’t see the danger of him.

      It’s my belief that they see the danger. But they believe that this danger will only affect others - liberals, minorities, LGBTQ, the socialists, the intellectuals, and any who don’t agree with them. They don’t see that if there is a way that Trump can annihilate those he considers his enemies, he will only find new ones,because he and his followers need someone to hate.

    I am a Christian and will always be. I left the Catholic church when the sermon was continually telling me how i had to vote AS A CHRISTIAN. My following Christ has nothing to do with how i vote nor making some political leader or political group my god on earth. Being a Christian, for me, is about each choice that i make, reflect Christ’s teachings. It means that ALL people regardless of their individual beliefs, country of origin, financial status or color of skin are God’s children and must be treated with love , compassion and respect. It is about never following anything blindly, but seeking truth. It is about making the lives of those around you better, especially those who are less fortunate or suffering. It is about placing humanity above wealth. Pray to God to open people’s eyes, add “not my will but Yours be done” and mean it.

      I too am a atheist and I found Rev Ed while trying to understand and follow why people continue to support Trump when it’s obvious he’s not Christian and is using gods name in attempt to gain power.
      The problem for the church is as Rev Ed said is the cross will be taken down or saved by the church and the conduct of the members of the church.
      The problem for true Christians like Rev Ed is that some so called “Christian” churches have leaders and members that don’t follow the teachings of Christ. The members of those type of churches don’t realise they are misled and being used to grift and controlled for power. Trump is also being manipulated (and he doesn’t know it because he is blind to power and needing to save his backside from criminal prosecution) by the leaders of the religious right (who are not teachers of Christ but power hungry charlatans).
      Rev Ed is doing what he can in the way he believes is right for his church and members.
      My question is why haven’t the leaders of the church such as the Pope directly and powerfully denounced Trump and his manipulators or have I not seen it?
      I recently watched the Eisenstein documentary about him and WW2. In the 1930’s he said that despite being a pacifist he realised “an organised force” (the Nazis) “would have to be met by another organised force”. And he was spot on.
      The true Christian churches will have to do the same to avoid their reputation being damaged from within. They must become involved in USA politics and protect the reputation of the church and true followers of Christ. They have no other option.
      I guess as an atheist and pacifist I’m asking all Christian leaders to get organised and protect the church and many non church people like myself and my family from the chaos being perpetrated by Trump and his backers.
      Please take a stand.

      Countries and individuals should not feel the need to repent, as we all possess the freedom to choose our beliefs and the paths we wish to tread. It is high time for individuals to take accountability for their own actions and choices. It is crucial to maintain a clear separation between the State and the Church, as there exist numerous avenues to connect with the divine, and all are equally valid. Unfortunately, Trump and his followers have opted to traverse a dark and treacherous road paved with falsehoods, animosity, and fear. In doing so, they have forsaken their own unique and moral essence, often referred to as their higher self, in favor of blindly following and idolizing a man who is solely driven by his own ego and thirst for power. Regardless of whom you consider to be your Higher Power, as long as you embrace a path of love and personal growth, it is a righteous one. Remember, we are all interconnected with one another and everything around us. Individuals must introspect and question themselves: Am I truly on the right path for the betterment of my soul?

They go on and on about abortion totally ignoring other sins. One of those is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Praying hard these days here! And reading/studying my Bible every day! I have been given clarity these last few days; the clarity that I have been praying for many years.

Reason being.. how many times in our lives can we say that we thought.. "This is the way! I gotta go over here and do this!". Only for later to feel and see with new eyes.. wondering.. "Oh what was I thinking! How could I have thought that! I was so so sure! Why did I do that!". Please bring it before the LORD. And ask Him to bring truth and to help you TEST to see if that is really what you need, and not a deception.

I do not try and convince Christians, or anyone of faith, to not believe in what they believe, or that they are wrong and I am right. I get so frustrated with atheists that do. I believe that we all should be allowed to believe what we choose, and I believe that religion, if practiced as the Bible teaches, plays an important role in humanity. I think we all can learn from one another, regardless of our beliefs, if we are just willing to listen to one another, and have a conversation. I don't agree with Evangelicals, and the damage they and the MAGA crowd are doing to, not only the church, but society as a whole. Especially when they are comparing Trump to God.
