Ask a typical suburban or rural southerner what Christianity means to them. They will tell you it is a constant source of hope, comfort, and good will toward others. Then ask an urban person or even someone on the other side of the world and they might give you a different opinion.
Why the disparity? Because of the God-Nation: an infrastructure of political demagogues who use Christianity as a means to try to control our nation and eventually the world.
Who is not God-Nation? The preacher in a small-town Baptist church, common southerners who work during the week and worship on the weekends, and anybody who follows the actual teachings of Jesus.
Who is God-Nation? Political, cultural, and financial leaders who use the name of Jesus to springboard their agendas for bigotry, imperialism, and fascism.
