In the 4th c. Christianity became the state religion. That created the dark ages (to say the least). That held sway for more than a millennium.

Then came Luther and the Protestant movement. Oh boy! Christianity exploded. We now have over 33,000 sects of Christianity.

Meanwhile Copernicus happened, and Galileo and Kepler. Suddenly the earth was not the center of the universe. Christianity fought it and lost.

And they've been losing ever since. The age of science took it over. And now the age of technology has eclipsed Christianity. Facebook wins, or social media.

But hey, we can go to church on the web. We don't even need to get dressed up, like it was for church for so long ... wearing our Sunday best.

Or skinny ties and wingtips, like the local church.

I don't know how it is today. But when I was in the LC politics hardly came up. I'd be surprised if the LC jumped on the Evangelical train, and are attending meetings wearing MAGA hats.

The moral majority was neither. And the Cal Thomas types are a dying breed.

Millennial's are eschewing the churches. With Christianity becoming a political party, it's no longer attractive. They've lost track of Jesus. What else can be expected?
Awareness, you sure have no shortage of wild ideas.

Cal Thomas used to argue politics with Bob Beckel. Years ago Cal called for an end to all Mosques in America. You prolly hated Cal Thomas for that since you are so partial to Muslims and biased against them darn Christians.

I liked Beckel too. And his ex-wife Leland Keyser. When Christine Lousy-Ford fabricated her hoax to smear Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the SCOTUS, she called on Bob's ex to corroborate her story. Bob's ex told her she was crazy. And a liar. Which she was.

I never heard much about politics until I joined the LC in Cleveland. Ole Titus Chu hated Jimmy Carter. Seems like every meeting he would go off on "Peanuts" Carter. He hated the guy.

Sounds like you're still bitter about Crooked Hilary losing the election. Next time Brennan, Clapper, Obama, Comey, and Lynch will have to do a better job to knock off the Trump.
