For what it's worth, I believe that what the Bible says is perfectly True and that any human ideology or worldview will fall short. There have been plenty of times where I've voiced discomfort or disagreement with a GOP position, focus, or direction based on my faith. I hate that my username is ExtremeRepublican, because I think it clouds that belief a bit. And, I'll note that I wasn't truly a Christian in 2015 when I registered here under that name.
And, there absolutely are cases of churches that idolize politics and let their party morph into their religion. I've talked candidly here about a church not that far from me called Global Vision (Pastor Greg Locke) that is a MAGA rally disguised as a church. That's not to say that the Church should totally withdraw from politics either. But, when we engage, the direction of that engagement has to be letting our faith flow to politics, not the other way around.
Do you think your Christian faith has made you more or less of an "extreme Republican" than when you first joined here?
