    What attack. No bombs no guns how was it an attack. The only one that died was an American veteran.

    It’s time to identify the churches that delve in politics and cancel their tax exempt status.

    Is Christian Zionism a greater force for peace on Earth ? In Biden’s WOKE-WARRIOR Democratic Party how many zealots for APARTHEID Israel ?
    Democratic socialists have always deplored nation-state worship .

    True Americans are Native Americans who do not follow any Manmade religion……..

    It’s EVANGELICAL FUNDALMENTALIST Nationalism And There’s Nothing Christian About It!!!!!!!!

  6. James Alcott on October 20, 2022 at 2:30 am

    The democrats’ god > soros < has enabled a lot of cop killers and hurt a lot of innocent people over the years ~ in the war of good over evil, I’ll place my bet on the GOD of the MAGA Christians!

  7. Gas Oven on October 20, 2022 at 2:30 am

    THANK GOD FOR TRUMP! The rise in Christian Nationalism is in direct response to the rise in the vile and vulgar agenda of Atheist Globalism.

    All feedback loops to control labor and fill armies is dangerous. Conscription now. Science first not America first!

    Not much difference between Christian nationalism and sharia law. Insanity

  18. John Savering on October 20, 2022 at 2:48 am

    This critique is tragically wrong, namely that the founding father’s said that the only way that this experiment in a people governed government can not survive if it’s people become morally and ethically bereft, which has become the truth, the lack of honesty and the perpetuation of misrepresentation that is called truth and that truth is the misrepresentation, is an agenda that media and the majority of the administration on both sides of the aisle want to use to remove the power of the people in a government that was created to be a government by the people and for the people. One fact in history that has been repeated over and over again is that the media who were promoting the misrepresentation of the truth to the people and facilitated the government to have full control over the people, were some of the first to be executed, because they knew too much about the people that they helped put in power. This current administration is lying to the people to the power of 10, we are being told that President Trump can’t accept that O’biden is the president, which for over a 100 million isn’t true and we didn’t need President Trump to tell us this, we are well read, and we understand much more about what is going on, and what many of us find hilarious is that the Republicans and Democrats don’t know that because we can laugh at ourselves it’s very easy to laugh at them, but don’t misunderstand what I am saying, we will use the law of the Land " THE CONSTITUTION " to take our country back non violently, and the people who decide to become violent when this takes place will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, as will the elected officials who broke their " OATH OF OFFICE " and if found guilty of " HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS, WILL BE IMPEACHED AND IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO INDICT FOR TREASON WILL BE TRIED AND IF FOUND GUILTY WILL RECEIVE THE PUNISHMENT DECREED BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA " BELIEVE IT !!!!!!!!

    There is no such thing a complete and total religious liberty. We must decide where that line is drawn and that should come from a basis in biblical and christian principles

  20. shop970 on October 20, 2022 at 2:48 am

    Aren’t cults great. . . Gives idiots identity.

  21. Totem Tabu on October 20, 2022 at 2:48 am

    Christian nationalism is a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom. Thank you for presenting this to your viewers, CBS.

  22. Wade Smoke on October 20, 2022 at 2:49 am

    Exactly, I remember an article before George W. Bush was elected where there existed a secret plan to "MAKE" the whole world Christian." If you ask me this idea has always been the underlying purpose since the beginnings of the Catholic church up to almost all the denominations today..This was not a Christian Nation the day the first Christians fell on Plymouth Rock..

  23. Ray on October 20, 2022 at 2:51 am

    I don’t mean to be superficial, but the very knowledgeable and articulate guest has effectively deployed her application of stunning lipstick.

  24. Bob Holmes on October 20, 2022 at 2:54 am

    I’m surprised Trump didn’t do his little fist dance at that gathering of the American Christaliban. His handlers obviously discouraged him from it.

  25. Mary Stanton on October 20, 2022 at 2:54 am

    Lol wow a Baptist gives advice thank God I went Non denomination

  26. Josh Whitney on October 20, 2022 at 2:56 am

    Christian Nationlists twist Scripture and take it way out of context: eg: they imply that Christians being ambassadors somehow confers divine political power on them over America. But the context is: Christians represent Christ, in bringing His message from heaven to earth, for mankind to be "reconciled to God" (2 Corinthians5.18-21). Their image of an ambassador exercising power in the country of his ambassadorship is absurd. What ambassador has ANY power in the nation he is ambassador to?? His citizenship is elsewhere, as Christian citizenship is in heaven!

  27. Kyla Armstrong-Benjamin on October 20, 2022 at 2:57 am

    I just need to find 11 thousand votes!

    Matthew: 21:12-14 ” And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves. And said to them, it is written, my house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.

  29. Daniel Morris on October 20, 2022 at 2:58 am

    If the J6 thing was a Christian event then it would have been about Jesus and not Trump. That being said, I’m pretty sure once we create methods to ensure 1 vote per person and no more funny business, the whole US and California would be all red.

  30. William Franz on October 20, 2022 at 2:58 am

    Just say fascism and leave Jesus out of it. Trying to put lipstick on a pig is offensive

  31. Dick Money on October 20, 2022 at 2:59 am

    Just because someone calls themselves a Christian doesn’t make them a Christian. Obviously you can’t be a Christian if you believe in Christian nationalism.

  32. serpentinefire77 on October 20, 2022 at 3:00 am

    Trump isn’t a Christian if you measure his actions and words by the New Testament, he’s using the Christian Nationalists and Evangelicals in his quest to hold on to political power.
    His default behaviour is that of a narcissist and a fascist, who will do and say anything to acquire power.

  33. Insurgent Honor on October 20, 2022 at 3:00 am

    The Lord Jesus Christ commissioned his disciples to teach everyone everywhere to obey all of His commands. Therefore every man is commanded to repent, believe, and obey the gospel. Christ is King.

  34. SYLVESTER AJAH on October 20, 2022 at 3:00 am

    It is a myth and utter falsehood to preach the message of Christian nationalism.

    Christain teachings and doctrines transcend politics, social ideologies and cultural practices. It is a twisted argument to use Christianity to advance political ideologies and political objectives .

  35. Josh Marietta on October 20, 2022 at 3:04 am

    Oh yeah. Sorry you misspelled peaceful protest. Or is that only when buildings burn?

  36. Robin Fiveash on October 20, 2022 at 3:06 am

    Why is it, certain groups are allowed to have a voice, and others are ridiculed, and accused of all kinds of falsehoods? Get behind me Satan.

  37. Eunice Ransfer on October 20, 2022 at 3:07 am

    These are not Christians, this is mocking God, and they will pay the cost. This dose not represent Jesus Christ nor his teaching.

  38. Carol Smith on October 20, 2022 at 3:09 am

  39. A on October 20, 2022 at 3:11 am

    Her points are really good. Another key part of the "Christian" nationalist worldview is their End Times perspective. They frame most of their battles in the book of Revelation and its symbols of warfare, bloodshed, plagues and demonic personalities (who they equate with current "enemies," such as Democrats, "RINO’s," gays, educators and government staff/ leadership, etc.). They often take a literal perspective on eschatology, and many believe they are ushering in the final battles leading up to the destruction of the world…and its eventual renewal. Most of these home grown terrorists do not have a symbolic or figurative view of the Bible. They look for literal fulfillments in real time. More Americans need to get informed about the roots of this mayhem…and fast! They are in earnest about annihilating democracy, so they can usher in their kingdom.

    Keep religion and government separate.

    Wow! Totally agree with her. Few have spoken truth as she has done.

  43. blueberry on October 20, 2022 at 3:18 am

    They also attacked and injured 140 officers and killed officer Sicknick. Trump has a warped sense of justice. All those who broke the law for him should be pardoned according to him. Pure evil.

    Many churches and those self claimed christians are nice and nasty at the same time.
    Go visit a church and afterwards many of those who attend will do their best to get to you after church services are over.
    They will want to shake your hand, thank you for coming, invite you to come back and ask all kinds of questions.
    As long as you give the answers that they want hear, they are happy.
    If you give them answers they do not want to hear, they will turn you away so fast it will not be funny.
    If you are truly a Christian, you can not be nice and nasty at the same time.

  46. Juan Bloomer on October 20, 2022 at 3:19 am

    Men do not differ much about what things they will call evils: they differ enormously about what evils they will call excusable.

    “But evil man and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived”.
    II Timothy 3:13

    “Break the power of wicked and evil people; punish them for the wrong they have done until they do it no more”.
    Psalm 10:15
