The evangelical Church elected to put itself in a self-induced spiritual coma in Nov 2016 and its life support system is Denial.
"belief in God" is a fantasy: words like Jesus, obedience, love, faith, resurrection, lord are untranslated, harmless, empty.

The entire expression heard over and over in the old and new testaments is widow, orphan, migrant (or foreigner), and poor; those are God's special people. But you wouldn't know it from listening to MAGA.

Exactly, it's about who has unfettered freedom: of movement: bodily, socially, economically, geographically, politically: Whiteness
My son gave me this book for Christmas in 2019, it's still the best articulation of MAGA in one that I've read.

White America's 'hired gun' entire life is one long lie to conceal his carnal depravity.
Of course he's profiting off every situation, the point is he does what White America wants.

They found 2/3 of evangelicals disagree with the other 1/3 and all nonwhite christians when it comes to the biblical mandate to care for the poor.
Their theology has no reference to it, they worship the Religion of Whiteness.

2/ I shoulda gone further.
Jesus never identifies with the powerful, they're are content with what they have.
But this woman has lost everything that matters, she can appeal to him who experienced the same betrayal by the system – all his family, disciples, even God, abandon him for their agenda.

The image on the left is how Whiteness see Jesus: exterior cleaned up, blonde, blue eyed, rich, successful, powerful
The Bible depicts Jesus as friendless, penniless, homeless--he'd be living in a tent city if he were alive today.

human fascism, appropriate God to baptize inhumane force.
God's fascism, reject our self-importance/prestige to align our Will to God's...
- "whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.”
- "whatever you did for one of the least, you did for me."

When the pastor of a conservative evangelical church and I get together for lunch the subject naturally comes up that Christianity in America is devoid of any responsibility to do what is taught in scripture and by Jesus.
These two pages from Richard Hughes offer what I think is the explanation.

Two new books showed up today.
Dorothee Soëlle is a German feminist theologian whose book Choosing Life is a collection of talks she gave on liberation theology, very practical.
And Terry Eagleton, I quote him often, has been very influential in my thinking.
Have a trip planned.

I often feel at a loss when talking christian nationalism with christians because 1-every person starts on a different square (not a line), has 2-a different definiton of christian, that 3-I spend too much time wading through the marshes to find where they are.
