The WWJD>MAGA crowd is more than a little ironic. Or paradoxical. “Christian” values?

Not Christians. Dominionists. Nothing to do with Christ.

Yes, thank you. A new vocabulary & glossary is required. Also “Christian Nationalists” is a qualifier.

Basically, they use religion as a weapon. Which is pretty typical across the globe.

A retired minister friend once told me "The worst thing that happened to Christ wasn't the crucifixion but that a religion was named for him."

Good point; ruined the guy’s reputation. Which is a universal problem with all the world’s major religions.

I'm reminded of a road I occasionally drive on. One of the driveways has a gate across it. Most driveways on this particular road don't. The gate has a WWJD sign on it.

My mind really can't get past the thought, "Probably not have a gate on his driveway."

Lol! I had a similar thought when I drove past a gated community called Harmony Heights. “Harmony” would assume no need for gates, according to my vocabulary.

I think its harmony inside, disharmony outside.
