@RelatablewABS Catholics were a big part of the founding. They were among the signers of both the Declaration & Constitution. And they founded on of the 13 colonies -Maryland. Country was founded by Christians fleeing religious persecution by the Church of England (also Protestant) - go figure
@SteveDeaceShow BS! 1) These polls are run by an evangelical 2) If your religion has to be separated by race - aka “black vs white evangelicals” , you already have a problem 3) A priest gives up the right to have a family and wealth ,not Protestant preachers , nobody does that for equivocation
Of all the things conservatives like to point to as the moment everything went to pot (e.g., the ’60s, WWI, French Revolution, Westphalia, Act of Supremacy, 95 Theses, Great Schism, Fall of Rome, Eve’s eating the apple, etc.), nominalism is among the strongest contenders.
Google on Easter: nothing
Google when Portugal is playing (accidentally posts the Cross of the Order of Christ, the 30 coins that bought our Redemption and Reconquista symbols)
@SteveDeaceShow Steve . Did you note this? Don’t be so quick on the trigger with anti-pope and anti-Catholic posts- you may find you are working for the wrong team.
England has been Christian since its inception in 927 AD.
AD means Anno Domini, “in the year of the Lord.” Even the way we talk about the year is Christian.
England is and always has been a Christian country.
We have enough foreigners attempting to destroy our heritage. We do not need our own people attacking the faith, too.
There is no neutral. Nature abhors a vacuum. If Christianity is removed it will not be left with a generic secular egalitarian “cultural Christianity,” It will be replaced by Islam.
Look around our country. The choice is clearly Christianity or Islam.
I am not saying one has to celebrate Saints’ days. But one certainly does not need to choose to undermine them.
If one does not like Saint George’s Day - do not celebrate it. It is as simple as that.
St George’s Day means a lot to many of us. It is a national celebration, and we need all of those we can get, these days.
Funny how people always pull down St George’s Day. They never do the same to St Patrick. Why are others allowed a patriotic holiday, but we are not?
“Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!”

Trump's spiritual advisor and personal patron, the evangelist Paula White, who prayed with him yesterday at the White House, says:
https://t.co/lVNomxxOc0
"Wherever I go, God is in charge. When I walk on the grounds of the White House, God walks on the grounds of the White House. I had every right and authority to declare the White House holy ground because I was standing there... and wherever I stand, the place is holy."
"Saying 'no' to President Trump would be like saying 'no' to God, so I will not do that. We are in a spiritual war now."
"May all the satanic networks that have aligned themselves against the purpose and against the call of President Trump be broken and destroyed, in the name of Jesus.
"Do you want me to tell you what my thoughts are? They are the thoughts of the King of Kings, the thoughts of the Lord of Lords... I am bringing down Heaven."
@consermillen you are really getting a lot of oxygen off one poll . A poll with odd categories. It separates white vs black protestants; show how disunited Protestant are that is even a thing .
And separates more liberal Protestant groups from more conservative ones then compares to all Catholics.
And do you ever stop and think that Muslims would likely have even higher percentages than white evangelicals on all these questions- does that make them the standard Allie?

Only bloc? Hmmm seem to forget the 70s, where 70% of SBC (your denomination) voted in favor of legalized abortion in most cases.
Would have been nice to have evangelicals join their Catholic brothers and sisters in that fight before abortion spread like a cancer.
Catholics have been against abortion since the beginning. Same regarding no divorce and many other social issues cited.
You should join the faith that is unwavering from season to season.

@stevedeaceshow Maybe if you were the devil you’d inspire a man like Martin Luther to divide the one institution that built the West and spread Christianity to the world—the Catholic Church.
We need good evangelicals to help build up the Church militant. We need your talents and your spirit. More division is coming—already you see evangelicals split and labeled “white” vs. “black” in this poll. That’s strange - can’t unite on race?
I remember in the 70s it was largely Catholics fighting abortion. If evangelicals had been organized and united from the beginning, alongside their Catholic brothers, maybe we wouldn’t have had the disastrous result of Roe v. Wade.
Regardless- Christ prayed for us to be one - time to unite brother.

At the heart of today’s conservative infighting is a divide long in the making.
It was masked by a common enemy—liberalism. With that (at least temporarily) weakened, the fault lines are now visible.
The roots go back to the World Wars, which fractured Christianity in the West—especially in Europe. America inherited influence, but not continuity or coherence.
In that vacuum, distinctly American theological movements took hold—Dispensationalism, the Prosperity Gospel, Unitarianism —many far removed from historic Christianity.
What looks like vitality is often instability: constant reinvention, fragmentation, and doctrinal drift.
At the same time, postwar conservatism evolved into a more global project—what we now call neoconservatism. That made sense in the face of communism, but that framework is aging.
More notably, it absorbed elements of this same theological confusion. Dispensationalism, in particular, has shaped the thinking of a segment of conservatives—despite being a minority view, largely absent from historic Christianity, and unfamiliar to most Christians worldwide.
A nation can be powerful and spiritually hollow—and that doesn’t last.
If conservatism is to endure, it must be re-rooted in cultural and moral clarity—and a renewed focus on domestic health, not just global dominance.
Steve, a lot of respect for you. But of you areworried about damage to American Protestantism, take a hard look at Paula White.
The World Wars devastated Christianity in the West—breaking Europe’s cultural and institutional backbone. America benefited, but it hasn’t exactly led to moral flourishing: abortion, the sexual revolution, divorce, and porn all point the other way.
Post-WWII conservatism shifted toward global dominance “for the common good.” That made sense against communism—but that framework is aging. It’s time to recalibrate toward a more traditional conservatism rooted in moral and cultural strength at home. A nation can be militarily powerful and spiritually shallow—and that won’t last.
American Christianity is both strong and unstable. It’s charitable and energetic, but also fragmented. More denominations and theological offshoots come from the U.S. than anywhere else—many foreign not just to the world, but to historic Christianity itself (Mormonism, Prosperity Gospel, Dispensationalism, etc.).
There’s constant churn—new ideas, new trends, little permanence. What feels like vitality is often instability.
If we care about preserving Christianity and conservatism, we have to confront that honestly.

I've said before that ship captains during the age of discovery were some of the most impressive human beings to ever live. We have trouble appreciating just how unimaginably great these men were. They had to play the role of navigator, cartographer, astronomer, logistics manager, military commander, judge, police captain, diplomat, CEO, recruiter, accountant and governor, all at the same time, and all under extreme duress, out in the middle of the ocean, cut off from the rest of the world where the penalty for one wrong decision was the death of everyone on board. These are some of the most brilliant and gifted human beings the world has ever known. Nobody on Earth today can come close to matching them. They had a level of both skill and physical courage that just doesn't exist on the planet today.
