The country is not supposed to be your church. - eviltoast

We’ll see what happens in 2025, of course.

    If the country is supposed to be “not Christian values” then it’s self-defeating to center and amplify Christian values like anti-capitalism, redistribution, and wielding government as a moral authority.

      Once again, you seem to have a lot of trouble with the difference between “supposed to be” and “is.”

        What is on lemmy is righteous anti-social ascetic retreats into off grid homeschooled veganism. What I’m having trouble with is understanding how that sparks a change toward whatever you think is supposed to be rather than propagating the Christian status quo.

          I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. The only change is going to be turning the U.S. into a literal Christian country at the end of January when the fascist dictator takes over.

          Why are you making this about me? I didn’t write the Constitution and I’m not Donald Trump either.

            Getting on the supposed’a soapbox to post made it about you lol my point has been addressing a seeming disconnect between Internet atheists’ claimed values and lived experiences. If the country gets anymore Christian I’ll attribute it to their self unaware amplification.
