The truth is that even now, church participation and religious belief is much higher in the US than it is in many EU countries, some of which DO have an official church. I’d argue Christianity in all its forms has flourished here BECAUSE of America’s hands-off approach to religion. And yes, people are free to choose not to participate. Even in Islamic countries they have managed to get people to toe the line but haven’t figured out how to force people to pray or actually believe.
I used to go to church. My wife was the piano player. She did that for forty years. Our church decided to define itself by what it hates. We both left and no longer go to church.
Is the US the whole world again? I know the vast majority of mainland Chinese do not attend any church and never have. India? The islamic world? Not people?
The term “scandal” also means something that kills the faith of a group. What is more scandalize to Christianity than Christians supporting trumpster fire? I predict that the children of fundamentalist Christians will be leaving that faith in droves.
Saul (the king before David) was sent by God too. But that was because the people were whining that they wanted a king, and God warned them what kind of selfish jerks kings are. And they still wanted a king. So He gave them Saul—who eventually became a selfish jerk.
The fuc heads at gocomics have censored me again for using the word contraceptives in a political comic. At least that’s what I think happened as the batards never give you any feedback or reasons for blocking people’s comments or banning me.
I don’t follow the rules? What rule did I break?
Community standards.
You mean the same community that supports Putin, hates Biden and wants to destroy democracy for Trump? fuc you.
The Community Standards appear to be arbitrarily enforced, my guess is the enforcer is whoever pulls that duty on that day and so their personal prejudices and biases come into play.
Remember when Prick City was anti marijuana and anti Hillary? That was when the Seattle Times dropped this strip.

The problem is not that Christianity is not being taught in schools. The problem is that Christianity is not being taught in churches.
But don’t worry, the evangenitals will fix all that.

Will America’s future be a theocracy? I’m becoming glad I won’t live to find out.

Church is useful as a builder of community. In terms of God, it’s pretty much just animals huddling together in fear of the storm.

Less religion is good. Let’s spread this trend to the rest of the world.

Once again, the so-called “Christian Right” proves it is neither.
