    also, this is skirting the line of inciting insurrection. The pastor was clearly espousing the belief that their role should be to control and dominate the rest of the world, as christians. IE, it’s their divine mandate to seize control of our government.

      This has been their way for quite some time. The Christian Nationalists believe that this is a Christian nation, that all people of different religious beliefs should be second class citizens at best, and that the country should be run via Christian rules.

      But not “Jesus gives free healthcare, feeds the hungry, and opposes the wealthy” Christianity. That’s the “wrong” Christianity. They want this country run using their Christian rules and the rest of us can convert or else.

      They believe that all the Founding Fathers were Christians like them despite all evidence that they weren’t. They believe that the Founding Fathers wanted this nation run as a theocracy, despite all the evidence that this isn’t true. They don’t care because all they want is the power to mold this country as they see fit and over the objections of the rest of us.

      And, alarmingly, they’re getting closer and closer to achieving their goal.
