Early church father, Augustine of Hippo, key hermeneutical principle needs to be revisited. Love of God and love of neighbor should be central to how we interpret the Bible. This interpretive principle seems to be missing from how many Christian nationalist understand the Bible.

Arresting journalists for doing their jobs should concern all of us. My spidy sense tells me this is another attempt by this administration to quash dissent.

It is clear that one aspect of Christian nationalism is an attack on Blackness. Rather directly as in the attached post or through Black folks who’ve decided that norm for Christian identity is whiteness.

I don’t say this lightly. This one is really for all the marbles. If any POTUS can change legal and constitutional precedent through executive order then democracy as we’ve known over the past 250 years is no more.
The Supreme Court has agreed to decide if President Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship with an executive order is constitutional, offering the justices an opportunity to revisit what has widely been considered settled law since the 19th Century.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

It is abundantly clear (and has been for a while) that many people of faith do not know the difference between Christianity and white Christian nationalism.
They practice the latter but mistake it for the former.
