Has there been a compilation of all the ways Project 2025 wants to enact legislation that runs exactly opposite from the same values they claim to espouse? From my perspective, discernment isn’t their strong suit. Rubbing their nones in this appears to be the only recourse at this point. You can lead the deluded to knowledge, but you can’t make them think.

I was surprised to hear the reference to the Roman emperor Constantine, reminding me that I long ago recognized that Christianity became co-opted by state power at that point, never to return to the essence of the message their ostensible savior advocated. Big Religion became an arm of the state to control unruly masses. This time, we’re not going back.

Red Letter Bible. All of words spoken by Jesus are in red letters. Like when he spoke “If you wish to follow me, sell everything you own and give the money to the poor”.. Then there are the Beatitudes, well worth the read. I wouldn’t care if the they posted those words in the public square, instead of the 10 commandments.
I’m a Secular Humanist, but I find those words a thing of beauty.
See RedletterBible.org.
If only Christians could be more Christian.

they really don't care what Christ said. They find his ideas "inconvenient" except to impose on others.

He does a great job of deconstructing Christian nationalism, contrasting it to real Christianity, and exposing Christian nationalism for the false religion that it is.

The Christian nationalism aspect of Project 2025 needs a lot more exposure.

The Tweet calls Talarico a "Texas congressman" but he's only a state legislator... so far

Authentic Christian values don’t align with the “Christian” nationalism nonsense.
