DIAGNOSIS = IGNORANCE; PRESCRIPTION = EDUCATION

this is my initial response to the following linked article by David G. McAfee in The Friendly Atheist blog, "Christian Activist: I’m Sick of “Phony Black Christians” Who Voted for Obama," at Patheos.com, http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2018/02/15/christian-activi.... i'd like to start a "What next?" conversation, if you're interested. it's a compilation of a few subjects that interest me enormously.

it must be true -- black people not only AREN'T xtians; they CAN'T be xtians! because xtians are white. white = good, black = bad. it's that simple. this dude better pray that jews keep on circumcising, or it'll be harder to tell who the kikes are! truthfully, we need to think of Trump as America's St. Patrick -- if not for him in the driver's seat, all the snakes wouldn't have found the confidence to rear their ugly heads, and We the People wouldn't know where the bad guys are. now, we know.

this is a blessing in disguise. let's not follow the example of the sell-out corporatist Democrats -- instead, let's take advantage of this situation and get us some new blood in Congress. and get corporate money, and corporations, OUT of Congress. but don't let's stop there -- the political evangelical Right aka Wrong must be neutralized. the best way to do this is to teach their adherents two things: (1) to appreciate questions for the treasures they are and the value they bring to thoughts and conversations, and (2) to learn how to relax and laugh at themselves, and to find humor in Life and the living of it.

the corporate exorcism is a shorter-term strategy -- a simple Constitutional amendment will effectuate that; the religious mind reset is more of a Time investment. it will require Patience and Understanding. if those sound like xtian values, they're not -- they're universal, objective moral values. these ideas require the elimination of madrassas and their fundamentalist indoctrinatory ilk. education reform requires instruction in critical thinking and proper question formulation and etiquette. education requires teaching Philosophy, K-12.

it's being done in both the USA and the UK. it's not only possible, it's for-real.

:-) I laughed so hard at that I snorted my coffee.

When I first came across the True Christian® trademark thing I thought it was a joke and laughed. It stopped being funny real fast when I learned the jokers really mean it. I should have known after millennia of Catholic/Protestant mayhem, hey?
