Zone1 What Is Christian Nationalism?

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

How stupid can you be?

Obama a Muslim? What an idiotic thing to say.

2012 democrat convention removed the mention of God. The democrat party is now the American Communist party.

You make no sense. It’s as if you can’t see the demographics of the country you are living in. It says if you have actually no understanding of how this country was designed to function. Why does your White Christian’s Male God have to be in the Democrat’s Presidential Convention? Jewish Democrats and all otter religious and non-religious Democrats are given the respect that they deserve to not have
The one, and only true white male God of the universe shoved in their face during a celebration of choosing a president who will be for all the people not just one particular religious tribe.

So I'm assuming you think I am a Christian Nationalist

WRONG. You are a white Catholic and a white Protestant Christian Nationalist. You are trying to convert Thomas Jefferson into a Catholic Monk named Thomas Aquinas. You were doing that for white Christian nationalism propaganda. See Below:

our nation was founded on the Christian values of morality and virtue?

A fair question. I have no doubt if we behaved as a Christian nation we wouldn't have the problems we do, but we don't behave like a Christian nation. If we ever started acting like one our problems might be resolved in short order. If you wish in one hand and shit in the other, which one do you think will fill up first? Not to worry though there is a law of compensation at work.

Maybe your hell will be to live in a world without Christ with the knowledge of what a world with Christ was like.

For Jefferson, belief in such a God was warranted on the basis of reason, and thus is akin to the propositions that Thomas Aquinas called the preambula fidei.

Thats exactly what white Christian nationalist would lie about. Obama is not a Muslim. He is a Christian, but there is nothing wrong if the same person with the same amount of decency and love for this country could be a Muslim. Law-abiding peace loving Muslims have every right to seek the presidency of the United States of America, because religious liberty is for which this national stands

What freedom of religion have you white Christian nationalist actually lost?

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Except for Christians, huh. You're a hypocrite.

I have voted for Christians who are Democrats my entire life. And I can’t think of any time that I voted for anyone who is not a Christian for the past 50 years. What the fuck are you talking about?

 

[BS Filter]

Our freedom is under attack. You're a hypocrite and a racist. Do I have the right to disagree with Same-sex marriage?

Do you support abortion and same-sex marriage?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

BSfilter is confused, nothing more.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Freedom of religion. That's the law. Moron.

Trump put three more Catholics on the Supreme Court. There now is a white Christian (Thomas by Marriage to a white Christian Nationalist woman) Catholic supermajority on the US Supreme Court, and they tend to rule in favor of white Christian nationalism inalmost every case
Involving teligiion - like Dobbs.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Do you support abortion and same-sex marriage?

I support pregnant women having freedom of choice and of course I support same-sex marriage. Why wouldn’t I support same-sex marriage. How does same-sex marriage affect your religious freedom?

You're going against the teachings of Christianity. You're a fake Christian.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

You're going against the teachings of Christianity. You're a fake Christian.

I am not a Christian. Plus I am not a Christian in the sense that you white Christian nationalist think of being Christian.

I am a rational theist as were our first four presidents, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison and others of the founding generation like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine and Ethan Allen. None of them believed in the divinity of Christ, or that he had died on the cross for the original sin of Adam an all the o sins committed by all mankind past present and future.

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.

What is the problem with nationalism?

Humanity is not easily divisible into mutually distinct cultural units. Cultures overlap and their borders are fuzzy. Since cultural units are fuzzy, they make a poor fit as the foundation for political order. Cultural identities are fluid and hard to draw boundaries around, but political boundaries are hard and semipermanent. Attempting to found political legitimacy on cultural likeness means political order will constantly be in danger of being felt as illegitimate by some group or other. Cultural pluralism is essentially inevitable in every nation.

Is that really a problem, or just an abstract worry?

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. For example, in past generations, to the extent that the United States had a quasi-established official religion of Protestantism, it did not respect true religious freedom. Worse, the United States and many individual states used Christianity as a prop to support slavery and segregation.

What do Christian nationalists want that is different from normal Christian engagement in politics?

Christian nationalists want to define America as a Christian nation and they want the government to promote a specific cultural template as the official culture of the country. Some have advocated for an amendment to the Constitution to recognize America’s Christian heritage, others to reinstitute prayer in public schools. Some work to enshrine a Christian nationalist interpretation of American history in school curricula, including that America has a special relationship with God or has been “chosen” by him to carry out a special mission on earth. Others advocate for immigration restrictions specifically to prevent a change to American religious and ethnic demographics or a change to American culture. Some want to empower the government to take stronger action to circumscribe immoral behavior.

Some—again, like the scholar Samuel Huntington—have argued that the United States government must defend and enshrine its predominant “Anglo-Protestant” culture to ensure the survival of American democracy. And sometimes Christian nationalism is most evident not in its political agenda, but in the sort of attitude with which it is held: an unstated presumption that Christians are entitled to primacy of place in the public square because they are heirs of the true or essential heritage of American culture, that Christians have a presumptive right to define the meaning of the American experiment because they see themselves as America’s architects, first citizens, and guardians.

How is this dangerous for America?

Christian nationalism tends to treat other Americans as second-class citizens. If it were fully implemented, it would not respect the full religious liberty of all Americans. Empowering the state through “morals legislation” to regulate conduct always carries the risk of overreaching, setting a bad precedent, and creating governing powers that could be used later be used against Christians. Additionally, Christian nationalism is an ideology held overwhelmingly by white Americans, and it thus tends to exacerbate racial and ethnic cleavages. In recent years, the movement has grown increasingly characterized by fear and by a belief that Christians are victims of persecution. Some are beginning to argue that American Christians need to prepare to fight, physically, to preserve America’s identity, an argument that played into the January 6 riot.

How is Christian nationalism dangerous to the church?

Christian nationalism takes the name of Christ for a worldly political agenda, proclaiming that its program is the political program for every true believer. That is wrong in principle, no matter what the agenda is, because only the church is authorized to proclaim the name of Jesus and carry his standard into the world. It is even worse with a political movement that champions some causes that are unjust, which is the case with Christian nationalism and its attendant illiberalism. In that case, Christian nationalism is calling evil good and good evil; it is taking the name of Christ as a fig leaf to cover its political program, treating the message of Jesus as a tool of political propaganda and the church as the handmaiden and cheerleader of the state.
