Goes back to Constantine whose Roman Catholic Church was built over the corpses of other Christianities, primarily to end controversies.

Christian's don't mind offing fellow Christians . Maybe the most notorious example was the Pope blessing bombs to be dropped on Ethiopians the majority of whom are Christian indeed among the world's earliest Christians. Nothing like killing other folks who don't follow the faith in the true and correct matter to then back in the love of God.

Well, my opinion of the knowledge of posters on this forum has taken a major hit. On the upside, this seems just the place I want/need to be. I look forward to future discussions as it seems fun shall be had on my part.

Question is there a debate section as in a 1v1 debate on this forum or can there be?

We do. All you have to have is a topic. I'll probably be your opponent because I have a great interest in theology and philosophy if you chose religion.

That would be great. I love those topics as well and it seems we come from very different starting points. Where on the forum is the section I did not see it.

thanks for the link what I see in there so far shows no suggestion of what I was looking for. I was looking for more of a 1v1 back and fourth debate on a single topic. But that is ok, debates can happen on regular threads why not let all join in?

Here why Christian are becoming a threat to our republic...

How the Christian right helped foment insurrection - Reveal

Christian-right activists inside and outside of government promoted the election fraud lie and claimed God told them to “let the church roar.”

Men raised their arms in the air as millions of evangelical and charismatic parishioners do every Sunday and thanked God for allowing them “to send a message to all the tyrants, the communists and the globalists, that this is our nation, not theirs.” They thanked God “for allowing the United States of America to be reborn.”

There's NEVER been a ground-swelling theocratic state. There's been 2,000 years of a separation of powers between spiritual heads of religion be it a catholic pope, orthodox patriarchs, or protestant heads, and any secular head or authority, and why's that?! As if ,there's a Sanctuary from the politics?!
As if you all get to Spook the Vulnerable into Destroying Sanctuaries is that correct?! And! Nation: A shared Language, Descent, Culture?! Christianity has never had a nationalist! Unless its Israel! Are you an ethnic nationalist Jew that may swing Christian? They had one named Jesus disputed King of the Israelis who proselytizes with servants in Greece, then the Balkans, throughout Europe. There couldn't have Ever been a favorite Nationalist Christian as they put it.

What Is Christian Nationalism?

An explainer on how the belief differs from other forms of nationalism, patriotism, and Christianity.
www.christianitytoday.com www.christianitytoday.com

What is Christian nationalism?

Christian nationalism is the belief that the American nation is defined by Christianity, and that the government should take active steps to keep it that way. Popularly, Christian nationalists assert that America is and must remain a “Christian nation”—not merely as an observation about American history, but as a prescriptive program for what America must continue to be in the future. Scholars like Samuel Huntington have made a similar argument: that America is defined by its “Anglo-Protestant” past and that we will lose our identity and our freedom if we do not preserve our cultural inheritance.

Christian nationalists do not reject the First Amendment and do not advocate for theocracy, but they do believe that Christianity should enjoy a privileged position in the public square. The term “Christian nationalism,” is relatively new, and its advocates generally do not use it of themselves, but it accurately describes American nationalists who believe American identity is inextricable from Christianity.

snip...

It is a serious problem. When nationalists go about constructing their nation, they have to define who is, and who is not, part of the nation. But there are always dissidents and minorities who do not or cannot conform to the nationalists’ preferred cultural template. In the absence of moral authority, nationalists can only establish themselves by force. Scholars are almost unanimous that nationalist governments tend to become authoritarian and oppressive in practice

Here another take on the topic...

www.thegospelcoalition.org

Christian Nationalism vs. Christian Patriotism

There are warning signs that appropriate Christian patriotism has morphed into idolatrous Christian nationalism.
www.thegospelcoalition.org www.thegospelcoalition.org

snip...

But today’s Christian nationalism dates back to the Cold War.

In many ways, the fight against Soviet communism set the modern template for white evangelical engagement with politics. This helps explain why many of today’s most ardent adherents of Christian nationalism are also children of the Cold War. White evangelical leaders, especially Billy Graham, framed the Cold War as a conflict between the Christian values of America and the atheism of the Soviets. (White people have been the primary, though not exclusive, purveyors of Christian nationalism, partly because they have been great beneficiaries of American national power.) As Graham would later admit, this spiritual framing led him and other evangelicals to see almost everything about Cold War politics through spiritual lenses. Thus, whoever was toughest on communism (e.g., Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, or Ronald Reagan) got transformed into Christian warriors who had God on their side.

The details of a politician’s personal faith didn’t matter so much as their bona fides as a Cold War stalwart. This association of Republican politicians with the cause of Christian nationalism became more pronounced when the GOP, out of both opportunism and principle, identified itself as the pro-life party after Roe v. Wade (1973). The fact that most traditional Protestants in America correctly regarded abortion as gravely immoral made it even more difficult, ironically, to maintain clear boundaries between Christian identity, Republican politics, and the American nation. As the secular left in the post-Vietnam War era portrayed American history as morally mixed, if not relentlessly abominable, key white evangelicals responded with “God and country” celebrations, even at church services, and with the formation of the Moral Majority.

I don't really have any word for my problem in America yet , better than Communionism. We had a conversation out here, it was about the Nazis just throwing up "God" while they killed Christians mainly. USA's favorite "In God We Trust" all that kind of stuff? God Bless America? Ya just openly like, ya, us. God is us, its the thing you think of...
