Churches are being hijacked by Christian nationalists who use social media to recruit

I got a friend request from a former colleague I didn't get along with. There was no social chatter or catching up, his posts immediately started showing memes and photos from fake news and pushing the "deep state" conspiracy theories.

We never really got along when we worked together, as a direct result of this. Conversations we had, when we discovered we shared a common Christian faith background, developed into one-sided political rantings, and after he found out I was on the opposite end of the political spectrum, the friendliness disappeared altogether and I was barely tolerated.

His views on the holocaust gave him away.

1. Political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

3. Sad. But I see this a lot. Even in family members who drift -somethings abruptly away

from so called Christians.

4. Oh no! I may have to give up going to church once a decade.

5. Don't go so often

And you will have nothing to worry about. Anything more than twice a century and you might succumb to their cult dementia.

6. Find the right church and you might be tempted to go every week.

Once I realized that Christian faith is not bound to an institutional church, or a literalist interpretation of the Bible in King James English, and it became for me what I think Christ intended for it to be, at least, according to what is recorded as what he had to say about it, it wasn't such a boring ritual. I leave inspired, not browbeaten.

But don't count on finding one of those everywhere.
