very good! Reason and facts. When I lived in Portland, Oregon, I saw just off a roadway, a very large statue of Kwan Yin. I was zurprised. Earlier in years, I found myself just down the sidewalk a-ways from the famous Crystal Cathedral in Southern California. It was a marvel of construction. To balance, while stationed at Dover AFB, in Delaware, a Thai-American WAF asked me to accompany her to a Thai Buddhist temple in Silver Springs, MD. I was expecting a Thai-design ‘waht’. It was an “old money’ Victorian with a few ‘waht-ish’ modifications. I was impressed.

I agree that America has no major threat of becoming anything else than what we are, today.

I heard this statement, from within a Pentecostal megachurch in the 1980’s: “ We are going to take this country back for god!”
My question was: “ What are you going to do with all those American citizens who say no thank you? You can’t run over their 1st Amendment right?”

I.got.no.answer! just a blank stare.

Thank you for sharing this. Unfortunately many religions try to justify forced religion. It is a hypocritical and arrogant mistake, what if the religion being forced on everyone here was Islam? Would those who currently support forced religion admit they themselves opened the door for this violation of individual rights?

No, in their minds they do not make foolish mistakes that can set precedent and create blowback after the fact.

“I agree that America has no major threat of becoming anything else than what we are, today.”

But I have to disagree with this perspective. We are definitely becoming something else, but politically not religiously. Unless you want to rightfully label the Climate cult as a religion. It is a religion but it is not the true source, global communism is the true source and they are manipulating this cult to achieve it.
