[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That will never happen.[/quote]

Yeahhhh, sorry. The intelligent among us aren’t buying the “that will never happen” line anymore.[/quote]

Yeah, I am actually pretty sure that there were presentations being made to church folk in the 1970s about this. My mother occasionally admits that this was the case, and that she is totally in favor of a church-led government. Other times, she pretends she is just a fox-news'watching "regular" conservative. So she is insane, and possibly not the best source, but I do believe there was some organizing around this idea in the 70s/80s that led to insane voting populations that include my mother.[/quote]

Really? You are “pretty sure” “presentations” were made to “church folk” in the 1970s? Please, link some credible sources. Who gave these presentations? What church populations did they speak to? What did their material instruct them to say?

Haha, as I said, I am a secondhand, noncredible source. The reason I believe it is because my mother doesn't have strong opinions unless they were presented to her in a big-setting, emotionally manipulative way, and (less credibly) occasionally she says it happened (and other times, denies same), in an independent, fundamentalist, evangelical church in Virginia. I am just passing on some anecdotal crap, as one does on an internet forum . I am not reporting to the nytimes.[/quote]

In my imagination, the presentation has 2 parts:

Part 1: The Founding Fathers of our country intended USA to be Christian nation (despite all that moving to America for religious freedom). The country should be Christ-led. We will elect leaders who are Christian OR chosen by our Lord (supposedly Trump was chosen by the evangelicals' lord)

Part 2: Abortion, even though you had no problems with it before, is actually baby-murder. Women, be subservient. Think of the baby Jesus! Also: do not be sluts. Etc.
