On the surface I kind of agree with this. The problem is the homosexual community eventually becomes militant. I think that's why God considered it dangerous enough to assign it the death penalty. I'm not saying we are to put gays to death. I'm saying I understand why it must not be allowed to exist unrestrained in a society.
Let that sink in, folks.
Been there, done that.
Hey, as long as I can get a burger and fries and a coke I'm all in.
The Constitution wasn't signed until 1787. So why not start there? What's funny is that's where most US history classes cover. The revolution is mentioned and then the 11 years of the Articles of Confederation are ignored. Why shouldn't we learn about the French and Indian Wars considering its what led people to Trust Washington as a leader and resulted in the taxation that pushed the colonies to Revelution? It is very Important in History to give context. Which is what the 1619 project does.
You sound like my Uncle that got absorbed into the Newsmax/OAN cult. I'm not sitting in front of the tube watching CNN for history. I read history texts while in school, listen to history podcasts, and took various history courses in college. Quite frankly the history classes didn't change my view on America, it just expanded it. What your points state is we should ignore the history that led up to the Revolution and the history of the enslaved and natives.
That is Mythologizing the founding of our country. The US was not founded as a Christian Nation and went through revivals because most people were not very religous.a large Chunk of the Founders were not heavily religious. They were not atheists, but not heavily devout either. The First Amendment stops 90% of what you want to accomplish.
To what? A clear example of removing first Amendment rights from a large chunk of the American people and mythologizing history to support an agenda to make the US a Christian Theocracy?
I think you missed the part where you and I have the freedom to make choices baked into the first Amendment. Your current points aren't good for the country. They are a means to shift power and do the thing the Founders wanted to prevent, turn this country into an authoritarian thoecracy.
And yet the intent was to make a free Christian nation. How do you reconcile that with the fact they didn't want an authoritarian theocracy like they were fleeing from in Europe?
If by militant, you mean persistent. The reason was due to the country becoming extremely oppressive to LGBT+ people and it boiled ovwr in the late 60s resulting in a back lash. Most of the restraints are basicly just trying to criminalize and erase lgbt+ people from public view. I don't understand why it's a surprise that people being supressed will resist being surpressed.
The Founders never stated that they wanted to make The United States a Christian Nation. The writing of the Founders and the treaties the US made with nations after the Revolution made it clear that the Us was not and is not founded as a Christian Nation. Instead the people are allowed to worship as they please. Protected by the first amendment. The people can be Chriatiam, but the government is not. The only document that makes any allusion to a creator is the Decloration of Independence, and it was purposely written with "creator" to avoid naming any specific diety.
Nope, the Nazi party was appealing to a traditional and mythical past of Germany and wanted to rid its country of Minorities and political dissenters. Also, the LGBT+ isn't trying to purify America of non lgbt+ people.
You mean the start of the colonies and the first shipment of Black slaves to the US. Why shouldn't kids learn about that?
Who said Black people were the focus? The arrival of slavery is only one aspect of US history and the rest of US history is not being removed.
No one has suggested that.
You keep telling me to wake up, but it seems like you are upset that black people want their American history added to general American History.
We had our first two kids in Christian private schools until high school. I decided they needed socialization with other kids in order to cope better in the world. Worst decision ever. They learned the world all right and became like it.
I've been on several LGBT(and whatever letters of the alphabet you wish to add) forums/chatrooms etc.
No, it wants to oppress them the same way they think they've been oppressed.
You sound like a young guy.
We had made so much progress away from racism here in the US until the Marxists started stirring up fake racism against blacks and instigating actual racism against whites. And it seems to have started under the Obama administration. He was, to date, the worst thing that happened to America. Biden, I think, will either prove to be the worst thing, or the second worst thing. Watch.
