[QUOTE="Dove, post: 748697, member: 535"] Well if you knew scripture well and what's biblical .....you would see many Americans who are in heresies and are apostates. The Roman Catholic church is terrifying in their disobedience and anti biblical traditions and actions....and that's global. There was a whole reformation because of it. As I said there is the truth and there are lies. The gospel is so so simple....anyone can understand it. And at the same time it's so deep you never reach the bottom. Like how God first introduced Himself in scripture and He simply said "I AM". Such a simple statement ....and it's at the same time endlessly deep. He just is. You have to have a correct view of God. If you were raised in a religious home, you almost have to forget all religion entirely and go at it clean. Because God is not some old man in the sky with a bunch of rules. In fact if you study art and why God is depicted as an old man it's pretty interesting. It helps to erase all the religion induced biases and study scripture with the proper hermeneutics. It's all ancient text from an ancient culture who didnt speak English. It was a completely different world. But the message is timeless and crosses all boundaries. The stuff we focus on as humans is so small and insignificant. The reason the right wing is usually the end of the spectrum Christian's fall on is because of freedom of speech. Constitutional and human rights that are founded on the principles of Christ. So when people say the US is a Christain nation....its true. And when people say it isnt a Christain nation....its also true lol. Its built upon Christain principles. That's the whole concept of liberty. You cannot support things like abortion, big government, over taxing, et and claim to follow Christ. And illegal immigration makes human trafficking easy. So Christains are gonna be more on the right than left. Instead of wanting the government to tax the people to help the poor....Christains build outreaches and hospitals and such.

It's sad to me that we have far left progressives who actually believe Christainity is some "white" religion brought here by "white colonists".
