The term Christian nationalism has been thrown around at anybody who wants to align their voting with their values. Especially if those values are from the socially conservative side of politics.
Even more so if they are Christian values (for some reason, Muslims are never ‘Muslim nationalists’. And there doesn’t appear to be ‘‘left-wing Christian nationalism’ – which is kinda weird).
The label is designed to persuade you to boycott any link between Scriptural truth and values and the laws that govern our country. And to never vote on that basis.
If you oppose abortion, same-sex marriage, gender ideology, critical-race theory, euthanasia, pornographic material in schools (such as the RSE curriculum), LGBT indoctrination, or transing young people with chemicals and castration – then you must be a Christian Nationalist.
And if you support Trump’s policies over Kamala’s at the moment, then you must be a fanatical ‘Christian Nationalist’!! Heaven forbid.
You can only vote for a politician who has never sinned. (Good luck on that one!)
Deep down, you’re probably a Nazi.
But ironically, those pointing the finger and yelling ‘Christian nationalism’ are busy doing exactly what they’re criticising. Check the clips below.
Even Senior Pastor Kamala is preaching:
Kamala Harris mocked for unveiling ‘new accent’ at Philadelphia event
Kamala Harris Speaks at Georgia Church
DNC 2024: Andy Beshear Links “Reproductive Freedom” To “Love Your Neighbor As Yourself”
The left are entitled to bring their values to the political table just as we conservatives are. The secular are certainly bringing theirs!
But the accusations of ‘Christian nationalist’ and ‘separation of church and state’ to try and muzzle us are falling on deaf ears.
As I shared over Labour Weekend, the church hasn’t become ‘political’.
But when politicians promote laws and policies which redefine marriage and gender, kill unborn children, unleash the Charities Commission against charities if they promote traditional family and marriage, pull kids away from parents who won’t support gender reassignment surgeries (even criminalising the parents and counsellors), put men in woman’s sports, deliberately end the life of vulnerable people with terminal illnesses, punish people who speak Scriptural principles in the public square, force doctors to perform abortions and assisted suicides, criminalise and undermine parents who want to appropriately raise their children, sneaking them off for abortions and chestbinders, then people in the church (including the leaders) MUST speak up.
The ‘separation of church and state’ is used as a weapon to shut Christians up.
Don’t allow it.
‘Separation of church and state’ is about protecting religious freedom from an intrusive government and so that we didn’t have state-sanctioned churches which become puppets of the government.
It’s not about muting your voice!
A moral issue is still a moral issue – even when politicians get in the way.
On a humorous note…
The Babylon Bee has compiled the following list of common signs you may, in fact, be a Christian nationalist:
* You’re a Christian: The biggest red flag of all.
* You have voted in an election: You think you’re supposed to have a say in who leads the country, you maniac?
* You’re married: To a person of the OPPOSITE sex, so there’s no telling what horrible things you might do.
* You are currently in possession of an American flag: Only a truly hateful person displays such frightening imagery.
* You agree with the idea of building a society on principles like ‘do not steal,’ ‘do not lie,’ and ‘do not murder’: Haven’t you ever heard of the separation of CHURCH and STATE?
* You let someone wearing a MAGA hat walk by without punching them in the face: Disturbing evidence that you agree with Nazis.
* You won’t let your third-grader join the After School Satan Club: Refusing to let your child hang out with the Prince of Darkness is a clear sign you’re a bigot.
* You own a Bible: Even more dangerously, it’s a King James Version.
If you exhibit any of the signs listed above, you are officially a Christian nationalist and an existential threat. The Disinformation Project has been watching you (up until last week when it closed).
