Luke, the people who are offended by people praising God for what they have been praying for. Had the election gone the other way, Christians would have been facing persecution in very many ways. This election was good versus evil. There are a lot of good people who don't profess to be Christians but put themselves in a life-or-death situation, and who do they call out to? I believe you will always have a war against good and evil. There was never a time in all of history when a nation or country wasn't divided. What is happening in America right now is more people are united than they have been since 9/11 if you remember, then churches were full, and people were praying to God to protect America. I could write two pages pointing out different scenarios, proving that the majority of people believe this is a Christian Nation. I think 70% of the people are united in God and Country, and that is about as close as you are going to get.
Thank you Del, as always I appreciate your thoughtful response! I agree that this election was a battle between forces of good and evil, and that this battle is as timeless as time itself. While I concede that many people believe this is a Christian Nation, I think 70% would be a high estimate -- and not only that, that of that 70%, many are liberal democrats who, while attending church and praying to God, absolutely do not share the constitutional values of patriotic Americans. It is true that there is always division in society, and also true that this division is often intentionally sown. In current circumstance, given Trump's historic victory, I believe that the wedge being used to drive division in the MAGA movement is a religious wedge. There are many people who voted for Trump who are not Christians, and in order to keep the MAGA coalition united and strong, which is necessary if we want to keep this momentum throughout his term and in future elections, it is imperative that we make a clear distinction between our political and religious missions. If we confuse the two, and start pushing Christianity to the center of conservative politics -- or perhaps better said, constitutional politics -- we will inevitably lose the millions of votes that allowed us to win in the first place. That's why I've chosen to tackle this sticky issue. It's an uncomfortable conversation, but it needs to be had. In that regard, I am very grateful for your voice! Blessings to you my friend!!
Never underestimate the power of Christian influence in America. Constant prayer is a great way to make change in what you see and hear and renew the American spirit .
