The church therefore told everyone to have lots of babies. The only path humanity had to deal with life-ending problems like war, famine, and disease was to out-populate them. It all goes back to the church’s efforts 1000+ years ago. There is a common idea behind those three things: forcing members of society to increase the population at every chance. The three big areas the church is focusing on are ending the right to abortion, to birth control, and to gay marriage. So why should we put up with it here in our country? I’m not advocating for violence, but why should we let any religion or creed force itself on the nation through the Republican Party? But that’s exactly what conservatives are trying to do - by electing people who are seeking to take rights away from Americans that are contrary to a Christian church’s beliefs. All because they try to force their will on others. And we’ve been killing extreme Muslims in the Middle East for decades. We’re killing communists right now through direct aid to Ukraine. I’m talking about what is the same for all four groups: Each thinks they have a divine right to force all other people to eat their fruit and nothing but their fruit.Īmerica’s military has killed members of three of these four groups in the fight for, and defense of, freedom. But I’m not comparing the beliefs or the governing methods. It’s like comparing apples, oranges, peaches, and bananas. I realize Nazism is different than communism, which is different than Islam, which is different from conservatism. Lindsey Graham, who stood up in the 2020 debates and said people can be Americans - as long as they are the right kind of conservatives. We’ve seen communists trying to coerce others to be communists. We’ve seen Nazis try and force everyone to be a Nazi. We’ve seen extreme Muslims trying to change everyone to their version of their faith. But now there is Version B: Catholics and evangelicals have infiltrated the Republican Party to try to get the Christian way forced into law so it can replace everyone else’s way of thinking and living. We didn’t try to wipe out other religious beliefs and replace them with our own. We did our thing but didn’t try to force others to live the Catholic way. Version A was a respectful, caring, private religion that lived and let live. We have two different versions of Catholicism now. My religion has changed since I was a kid.
