    Why, are there more black Christians than white now? Welp, I'll go to the black church then.

    In my old neighborhood, I went to the old black church. A) Because a good friend of mine wanted me to take her there.

    and B) Because is was better than the white church. They were there for God and not to try and look down on their fellow man like they do at the white church.

    The little black people church was 100X better than the hypocrite white church. I bet their membership's about the same, too. With about 150 less people judging you up and down and

    just there to worship God. Listen to my neighbor ova heanh. That's a beautiful Double Windsor. That old man knows what it's about.

    It illustrates that white Protestant evangelicals, a decided minority in this nation, are trying to shove their agenda and values down everyone's throat.

    The Hill article didn't discuss shoving anything, it just gave numbers and the trend toward diversity...which is a good thing IMO. The main problem in our nation today seems to be a lack of tolerance. People are being forced to choose sides or be considered the enemy, much like the Evangelistas are doing as you rightfully pointed out.

    BTW, saying "protestant Evangelicals" is like saying black Negros or white Caucasians.

    If we graphed all Protestants on a Sane/Insane scale, the Evangelistas would be on the wacky side of the graph.

    It was my interpretation of the point Guno was indirectly highlighting.

    My understanding is that not all Protestants are evangelical, so I make the distinction between evangelical Protestants and the non-evangelical Protestants.

    Evangelicals, like Greek Orthodox, are a subset of the same Abrahamic branch.....and they are out on a far limb, IMO.

    Abrahamic religions so simplified even Trumpers can understand it: https://i.imgur.com/Fg4do0D.jpg

    how does your chart inform your opinions. or are you still an idiot?

    No, but I can see why someone dumb enough to be groomed by terrorists would leap to that conclusion, Fredo.

    You are free to disbelieve the facts of the chart or even claim they are part of the black Jewish conspiracy to undermine Christian Nationalism. No doubt, believing that makes you more receptive to WSE radicalization and an eventual trip to a Federal daycare center. LOL
