The Republicans vast conspiracy of hate is their Religion .
This under Donald Trump who is by no means a “ man of God”.
The Republicans have attached themselves to this alleged “Christian” group which is very much anti Christ in every way.
Their intolerance for all but the whites wealthiest men is actually against everything that Jesus taught when he shared his views on earth.
So they’ve made up stories about who Christ was and have entangled their wrath in his lectures on kindness and care for follow men and created the lie that Jesus would cheer on the hanging of Joe Biden .
Unbelievable , but not anymore.
Their paltry story of Trump being chosen by God to lead is about the most pathetic stretch of the many pathetic stretches this group have sponsored.
American, for good reason was constructed with separation of Church and State as a leading principal of U S Government.
This situation now is the most profound reason for having made that decision by the founders of our Constitution and our Country.
The Supreme Court violates this premise regularly as does Trump and his cacophony of chaos.
The Evangelicals know what Trump is, they don't care, because despite him being the very definition of their anti Christ, he is advancing their agenda, which is not Christian at all, but one of male supremacy, and male supremacy is inter racial.
As a member of the "chosen people" I quote Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof who beseeched God, "please choose somebody else next time."
The Evangelical Protestants are not the same as the 5 Catholics on SCOTUS. The Evangelists like MAGA Mike do not really consider Catholics to be "Christians" but rather useful to acquire power. To MAGA Mike, they would not be worthy to be "elect."
Evangelists are waiting for the rapture. The final apocalypse. they constantly quote from the book of Revelations -- good Christian people will soon be rewarded with paradise. Meanwhile, all those who have rejected Christ will face great suffering.
That leaves me out.
Roman Catholicism does not accept the possibility of a new revelation; it believes that reason can never completely penetrate the “mystery” and that it must continue the exploration of the mystery that has already been revealed.
Although some people think that they follow the Old Testament, they do not as they reject virtually all of the rules. E.G. Deuteronomy requires that the tithe be given to the poor every 3 years. Slavery was limited to at most 6 years. If they emulate Jesus, they'd be circumcized. pray to Jerusalem 3 times a day, wear holy undergarments, etc. I grew up around Amish - buttons - no zippers, no portraits or most photographs as they are "graven images." But even they do not follow the dietary laws.
IMHO they would more resemble Moslems who follow Sharia Law rather than law as practiced in any modern "Christian" country.
Friend Daniel. You absolutely must acquant yourself with Dominionism. It is an interdenominatial cult founded by Ted Cruz father Rafael Cruz and RJ Rushdoony, It encompasses all Christian religions, be they protestant or Catholic. I am convinced that Mike Pence and Amy Comey Barret (she of the People of Prayer) are Dominionists, as well as Mike Johnson and the Southern Baptists. Their manifest is based on Genesis promise of man to have domnion over the Earth. The seek what has been called Christian Reconstructionism aka Royal Race of the Redeemed https://www.sullivan-county.com/nf0/fundienazis/royal_race.htm aka Christian NAZI's, they make the Taliban look liberal.
They seek a christian theocracy, ruled by Mosaic laws, except the ones that they don't like, like not eating swine, shell fish or mixing fabrics (You have to admit those 613 laws are ridiculous. I've studied them, also repeated in Deuteronomy.
Christian Reconstruction would punish "sinners" by stoning, becuase stones are free (very libertarian), and the stoning would include rebellious teens, adulterers, LGBT, less than faithful Christians (aka those that don't faithfully tithe or pay 10% to the shepherd, and the job of the shepherd is to keep the flock togethr until it is time for fleecing and slaughter.
I know that Catholics reject protestantism, I was once a Catholic. Christian Presbyterian at Birth, forcibly Baptized into Southern Baptist in LA, Became a Catholic to marry a Panamanian Girl and game to my sense circa 9484.
Dominionism is not protestant or Catholic it istransdenominational, has Catholic as well as Protestant members, nothing in it conflicts with Catholicism, it atually embraces and enhances traditional, as compared to modern Catholicism.
By the way when a Catholic, I dealt with cognitive dissonance by became a trad Catholic, Catholic Truth and flirted with Pius XII societies. I now a thing or two about radical Christianity from the Inside, was also a Knight of Columbus., ne er fot to the 3rd degree though, left before that.

The OT lists 613 laws. Much of our law is derived from them. They are merely similar and not congruent, as we used to say in math: https://www.jmu.edu/dukehallgallery/exhibitions-past-2018-2019/the-613-mitzvot.shtml

Sorry, but MOST Protestants reject Catholicism.
Comey Barret may be a member of a cult. They may proselytize but they are exclusionary.
Rafael Cruz is a lapsed Catholic, most probably excommunicated.
