33. I do understand the history of heresy and respect it

I also agree 100% with the huge importance of maintaining a separation of church and state.
That said republicans do not want separation of church and state. They want Christian nationalism! Or as I prefer Christofascism.

So yes what I am presenting is a fine line and perhaps a line we should not cross. However when republicans are so blatantly ignoring the Christian doctrine they preach, push back needs to happen. Is calling them heretics the wrong path, maybe. Something needs to happen because people like Green screaming she wants Christian nationalism is just wrong.

Republicans are now moving in the direction you disagree with. I think we can agree on that.

I will have think on it some, but yes any movement to label people that are damaging Christianity should happen within the Christian Church. All denominations of the christian church. The right seems to think they have a lock on Christianity in America. I don't think they do.

I want to be sure we understand each other. I am talking about people who are damaging Christianity. Saying that refugees are murders and rapists is not welcoming the stranger in you land. Using lies as a political weapon with no repercussions is bad for Christianity.

Christianity is collapsing in America. The numbers are in free fall. I believe a good case could be made that the heresy I speak of is the reason why. People are not buying this bullshit. If the church wants to survive then they should teach Christianity and call out the people who are damaging the religion.

I am not a very good writer but good debate. Thank you.
