In this thread alone I've posted EIGHTY PLUS articles from numerous journalists, politicians, theologists, analysts, commentators, experts, observers, etc. from both sides of the political and religious spectrum,

all documenting the radicalization of the Christian right and their embrace of many hate based, NOT SO "Christian" mentalities and ideologies, as well as instances of marked hypocrisy within their own ranks

and I'M "**** wrong"??

How so, pray tell?

I've posted righty, and also lefty... Either way it's wrong. 

I even used my penis to poke the letters at random, and it's still wrong... 
 

that took a lotta work... I had to get a semi-hard woody going, and then tap it on the keyboard. That takes loyalty!

More **** than any of you can do...

Because you posted eighty plus articles. I mean, geez, you're wrong, and I don't even know what you're talking about... 
 

Well, at least you're being honest in that you don't know what I'm talking about (nor what you're talking about for that matter). But thanks anyway for trolling the thread with nothing of substance.
 

Boebert just may be on to something here. Only not in the way she THINKS. Because our HUMANITY just MIGHT be in its last days, thanks to the radical fascist REICH:

Rep. Lauren Boebert said humanity is in its 'last days' and Christians should 'rise up,'

I just don’t understand why Black conservatives always have to be so extra. Somebody tell Creflo MAGA he doesn’t need to go full fire and brimstone just to keep his little white nationalist parishioners shouting a-Klan…I mean, amen.

Then again, maybe what the congregants of these HATE SPEWING MAGA 'chuches' (white and black) SHOULD do is stop giving their hard earned money... correction... TITHES to these fanatics who POCKET it and LIVE WELL while SKIPPING OUT ON PAYING TAXES.

How "religious freedom" became a right-wing assault on equality and the rule of law | Salon.com

The Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade sent shockwaves through the American electorate. But as shocking as the destruction of a fundamental right may be, more radical changes may lie ahead, as Andrew Seidel warns in his new book, "American Crusade: How the Supreme Court Is Weaponizing Religious Freedom." As I have argued repeatedly over the past several years, the religious right has mounted a sustained struggle to pervert the meaning of religious freedom, transforming it from a shield to protect the rights of all to worship freely into a sword wielded by the most powerful.

When religious zealotry comes from abroad we call them radicals, fanatics, and so forth. But when it's HOMEGROWN ZEALOTRY, they like to think they're something different. They AREN'T. Extremism, terrorism, and INTOLERANCE are the same, regardless of the religion or country of origin.

Alabama pastor, 64, has been arrested and charged with sexually abusing a 7-year-old

Former Las Vegas Christian private school teacher facing a total of 12 counts of sexual assault upon a student blames God for "making him that way."

Cynthia Miller-Idriss, an MSNBC Opinion Columnist has written that Christian nationalism is a racist, ahistorical ideology of violence. By definition, incompatible with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. She notes:

One of the longest-standing principles of American democracy — the separation of church and state— is under attack by people embracing Christian nationalism. That ideology says that the U.S. is and should remain a Christian nation and that Christianity should be prioritized by the state. Even when it is not stated, Christian nationalism implicitly calls for the U.S. to be a white Christian nation. 

MEANWHILE: Christian nationalists gain influence over US politics -- even as their numbers shrink And Wisconsin 3rd Congressional District candidate Derrick Van has said leftists can't be Christians.  (Not THEIR idea of what makes a Christian, at least -guess we just aren't HATEFUL ENOUGH) 

While Mike Pence has declared that Americans have no right to freedom from religion. 

In SPITE of the fact that only 45% of Americans Say the U.S. Should Be a ‘Christian Nation’  according to the Pew Research Center.
