Banning prayer is a interesting issue. The Senate has a chaplain.
In the Navy, we had chaplains of all different faiths, and you could go to a service of your faith.
Putting a religious symbol of one faith on a government building to the exclusion of others, seem to be favoritism that is problematic.
You may not know white christian nationalists, but just listen to those in congress. They would love just a Christian country.
Not sure if that is helpful.
When you were in the Navy eons ago yes. Not now.Quote:

No this wasn't helpful at all Paul. Was it helpful to you?
When you were in the Navy could the chaplain lead a voluntary prayer before battle or was religious expression limited to the Chapels?Quote:

Edit: It was instructive in that you are attempting to tie Christianity to white nationalism.
Wonder why some posts go up twice.
Sorry Brew, you lost me. No chaplains in the Navy now? 800 chaplains/100 faiths.

(Yes, it was a long time ago I was in the Navy. Not eons, but close)
See post 14170 above for a link to a congresswoman advocating for a Christian nation. Thought we answered this before.
Maybe helpful now.
Hi Paul, I edited my post to reflect what I meant. Thanks for correcting the "no Chaplain" comment.Quote:

She also said nothing about "white" unless YOU think all Christians are white. Which is really stupid.
Again, are you at attempting to tie Christianity to "white" nationalism?
Many do: https://news.yale.edu/2022/03/15/yal...an-nationalismQuote:

And, ok. Let’s see if California or New York wish to secede from the Union over this issue. Not quite the same, but you do you
For some reason I was intrigued by Paul’s fascination using the term white Christian nationalist, so I did a little research on where it came from. Surprise surprise it started in academia and is now being touted by MSM.Quote:

The names that are most vocal about this conspiracy are Philip Gorski (Paul’s attached article and went to Berkeley), Samuel Perry (both professors in sociology - shocker indeed), and Kristin Du Mez (professor in history and gender studies). All have written books about it and are now quoted or guests on MSM. BTW, their Twitter followers are quite the echo chamber and progressive.
Amazing how people continue to label a class of people based off their own beliefs. Oh yeah, you’re right, MTG is a loon.
Wow, FANTASTIC post!Quote:
