Absolutism and the Consequences
Turning Point Summit: The Summit was not about conservatism, “one nation under god”, traditional values, revival, destiny, or Making America Great Again. The Summit, as with all Republican outreach programs for women and minorities, was about White Christian Male Supremacy. There can be no Supremacy unless The Others are less important, less worthy. There can be no Male Supremacy unless Women are in servitude to Men.
They wish for 1928; they'll destroy everything else to take the USA back to that era.
They (America's white evangelicals and fundamentalists) are who they are because Power and Greed never changed their core beliefs in White Male Supremacy. Power and Greed merely sweetened the political deals they made within the Republican party.
Jesus' teachings; the 'inconvenient' truths that white evangelicals reject.
Today's Sunday School Lesson: The old religious studies courses we took for the easy A are no longer valid. America's Christianity is a fractured, weak, sectarian, divided, and splintered religion that survives only to support the far right and the new American fascism. Some sects like Methodists are defying the trend...but it is too little, too late.
