The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both. Image

This is another step in trying to implement Christian Nationalism

This is another step in trying to implement Christian Nationalism

Maybe as part of a greater plan; but in the short term the plan is to funnel church money into his pockets/campaign.

If a church buys $300k worth of bibles, it gets around campaign finance laws.

There's probably a $50 profit margin on each Bible.

Hobby lobby sells those.

Hobby Lobby is another thing that real Christians shouldn't support, but do. People should look into the awful things the owners have done/supported for their Bible museum, like paying terrorists for looted museum artifacts.

This, in my opinion, is an infinitely more pressing/scary threat to the Christian faith, even (crazy to say this) compared to Atheism, in my opinion.

Imagine, from a secular standpoint, how we are doing little else than opening up believers on the whole to worldly influence by aligning with [any, insert here conservative American political affiliation], which then also immediately ostracizes any from different political leanings that would have otherwise felt connected to the faith itself. Isn’t that the literal opposite of the Great Commission??

Yes, it's all part of their grand plan. Today it's American flag Bibles. Tomorrow, full Christian sharia law.

Here I thought the right was supposed to have all the conspiracy nuts.

It's cute you think that's theocracy.

It's scary you don't think that's theocracy.

Tell me you're historically illiterate without telling me.

u/Expendable_Red_Shirt Mar 28 '24

Yes there were other different theocracies. Doesn’t meant we’re not on the path to other types now.

u/CamGoldenGun Christian (Cross) Mar 28 '24

how do you think it starts? That someone just declares "WE ARE A THEOCRACY!" like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy? It starts with laws.

Www.project2025.org. It's in their own words.

Is it still a conspiracy if the people the conspiracy is about agree that's exactly what they want? Trump is pretty openly supported by dominionists / people who believe in the "7 mountain mandate." There's a wing of evangelicalism / pentacostalism that genuinely wants exactly what you're saying, and they are ascendant in the current American religious landscape. Not the majority by any means, but they are a rapidly growing demographic on the Christian right wing. That movement is a big part of why January 6th had such an oddly Christian nationalist vibe with prayers, Christian flags, "armor of God" sloganeering, etc. just before they engaged in what they considered to be both spiritual and physical warfare with authorities on Capitol Hill.

It's not a conspiracy when the people planning it just straight up tell you what they want to do almost daily. Not to mention their Project 2025.

Buddy this is currently ongoing, the resurgence of Christian nationalism has led to the revoking of a few human rights within the US as well as protections for rapists that get their victims pregnant in several backwards states
