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

Christian nationalist imagery that's linked to violence

A recent speech by Rep. Lauren Boebert — during which she invoked the end times and said it's time for Christians to "rise up" — demonstrated how Christian nationalist ideals, including some associated with violence, have made it to the halls of Congress.

"It's time for us to position ourselves and rise up and take our place in Christ and influence this nation as we were called to do," the Colorado Republican told the crowd at a Christian conference held by the Truth and Liberty Coalition in Woodland Park, Colorado, on September 9.

"We need God back at the center of our country," she added.

Boebert heavily quoted scripture in her speech. She framed the formation of the US as divinely inspired and described the founding fathers as men of faith who were motivated by God — contentions that have been challenged by historians.

Now called Christian Nationalists. Wrong in facts. Wrong headed - and most of them in it only for the grift. I don't know how we smack them down but we need to. The minority rule will not be fun for anyone.

Justice matters.

The question is "why" the gullibles are gullible... and so easy to con.

It makes me wonder if some of the leaders of these groups believe their Jesus was a grifter just like themselves.

The Anti-Christ fears numbers! Such as crowd size. Hand size!

Behold Anti-Christ!
1+2+3=6!
1x2x3=6!
1 squared + 3 squared - 2 squared =6!

all are in that we will all die someday. Every generation believed they lived in the last days. But the Bible clearly states (if these idiots ever read it) that no one knows when it will happen. What she wants is Christian Fascism which has been done before and is always unsuccessful and will be even less successful now as many are not religious these days.

Seems she was preaching about the End Times at one point, as well. I'm skeptical of Bobo's new-found religion. It's just her latest grift. She got elected as a big gun-humper, who a lot of the male gun-humpers think is "hot." But, after Uvalde, Highland Park, and other gun massacres, her gun ship has sailed. Her only hope is to ingratiate herself to all the religious nuts.

This country was formed on the idea of freedom FROM religion. Feel free to worship whoever you want, but don't expect others to worship the same thing as you.

Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.
