Charlie Kirk's funeral was a marathon of Christian Nationalism (BARF ALERT)
Phoenix New Times ^ | September 22, 2025 | Stephen Lemons

The line between church and state was nowhere to be found at Sunday's service, which drew masses of Charlie Kirk followers.

A capacity crowd filled Glendale’s State Farm Stadium on Sunday, with thousands of people shut out of the 63,000-seat venue and directed to overflow seating at the nearby Desert Diamond Arena. Then, in both venues, they sat through a more than five-hour marathon of unapologetic Christian nationalism in honor of Charlie Kirk, the Arizona-based right-wing activist who was murdered on Sept. 10 at a college event in Utah.

Christian nationalism is both a political and religious ideology that seeks to dilute the separation of church and state in order to more closely align American values and governance with an extremely conservative interpretation of the Bible. That blurring of lines was on full display Sunday, with Kirk’s widow forgiving her husband’s assassin and President Donald Trump denouncing “radical left lunatics” as the cause of most of the political violence in the country.

Other vomit-inducing takes that somehow found a Christian memorial service a "terrifying display of Christian Nationalism" and who object to USA leaders being openly Christian and that forgiving the man who murdered Kirk is "hate" can be found here:

Says the leftist cult that’s controlled our schools to teach their hedonism, child sacrifice cult practices, warmegeddon doomsday cult beliefs, eugenic scientific racism beliefs, and pedo beliefs. The Dims operate way more like a cult than a political party, use the power of government to push their religion, and has the audacity to fuss at Christians over “separation of church and state”.

I NEVER hear these Christian hating turds complain about Islam. Dearborn is a full Sharia compliant s hole with a muslime mayor telling Christians they are not welcome in their city.

Of course not.

What they hate is Christ. Islam hates Jesus, too.

an extremely conservative interpretation of the Bible.

That would just be reading the words it says and believing them according to the Left.

I decline to use their terminology, like “Christian Nationalism”.

The leftists may not frame who were are.

1. Yes, Christianity does “terrify” atheists and secularists.

2. Yes, atheists and secularists mistake “separation of church and state” as meaning separation of faith and public service; that is an error. The former represents government institutions favoring a particular religion while the latter allows for a public servant to express their faith.

This is the new narrative. White supremacist, Hitler, existential threat to “democracy”, etc etc.
This is an all-out war on believers and patriots. The first shot was fired by a furry with a tranny boyfriend. All the violent perverts will now take the stage, including antifa, BLM, and whatever.
It’s going to be really ugly if people don’t shut off the media and get a hold of themselves.
Mass formation psychosis.
Pray!

So Christian nationalism is a real problem for this country?

The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. In this expression, the Creator reaches into our world from eternity to endow individual humans with inestimable value. For all time Americans would be defined as sovereign individuals finding their identity in exercising pre-existing intangible liberties within bounds of voluntary self-restraint and accompanied by the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedoms.

In opposition we are offered Cultural Marxism. Karl Marx said in introducing the Communist Manifesto, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything exists within the bounds of infinity. Humanity exists as swarms identified to be segregated, dominated, and/or irradicated. There is no perception or acknowledgement of eternity. The adherents to this philosophy must regard pseudo-economics and pseudo-science as a doxology; a liturgical expression of praise to their god.

The way I read it is that every time a domestic enemy uses the term "Christian Nationalism" with derision ... what he really means is "Christian Revival" and we are totally 100% good with that. It's just what the doctor order for what ails this nation.

“For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.”
