Ideas For Starting A Christian Political Party

I'm live in Minneapolis, MN, and I recently have gotten more active in the Christian church. For a long time, I was convinced that if I voted for the right political party, good things would happen for myself as well as the rest of the country. I used to be deep into states rights and Libertarianism because I believed it to be anti-elite but I'm now convinced that we need a third position in this country, the trinity: father, son and holy spirit. The Republicans have red as their color, the Democrats have blue, why can't we bring the color purple back? After all purple is the color robe Jesus wore. Purple through out time has been seen as being royal and noble.

In other countries, religion is deeply ingrained in the culture and the government, and many have political parties dedicated to one religion over another. Yet here in America we don't have a major Christian party. America also has lots of pagan symbolism, the fasces in the Congressional hall, the Meander symbol on government buildings in DC, and the Statue of Liberty are all examples. America also has a Star of David on the dollar bill just above the eagle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't David kill another man so he could take his wife, and also wasn't the man a practicing polygamist? I believe in the many of the stories of the Old Testament, but I view David and King Solomon as a false idols who lost fellowship with God. On the subject of the American Eagle, I believe that we can adopt a better symbol. Eagles aren't always seen as good in the bible, in fact, Levicitus states that they are the most detestable of all the animals.

We not only need good symbols for a movement, we also need good reading material and committed members. I've often seen and sometimes confronted street preachers shouting about damnation and the Lake of Fire when I'm casually walking on a Saturday run. Yes, it is ok to talk about the consequences of living an immoral lifestyle, but you also need to give people an alternative, and you need to direct your energy at people that are in most in need of Christian enlightenment (people that go to downtown bars, nightclubs, and movie theaters).

We also need a headquarters, and I believe the perfect place to do it is in Minneapolis and I'll tell you why:

Minneapolis sounds similar to Neapolis the Greek city where Paul the Apostle spread the gospel of Christianity. It's also no coincidence that the neighboring city, St. Paul is named after Paul the Apostle, one of Jesus's most committed followers. Minneapolis also has a old Church named the First Church of Christ in Elliott Park. The building looks like a Greek building that the Apostle Paul would've spread his message in. The building is currently empty, but members of the Secular Occupy movement did hold a rally in the building in 2014. The building is currently on the market for $10,000, but that was in 2014, the price might've changed since then. They are currently wanting to demolish the building and plant a garden, but it would be nice to see them keep it as a historic national monument. The city is saying that it needs millions of dollars in money to restore the money, but I believe that it can be restored for far less with the right volunteers.

I see the building serving as a way to welcome and house Christian guests into the city, I also see it as a way to uplift and motivate fellow Christians in the area and the rest of America.

As for the rest of Minneapolis, it is one of the cleaner cities. In all of the churches I've been to so far, I've seen lots of young people, and many are devoted in spreading the word of Christ. Minneapolis also happens to be very centrally located. It is near the start of the Mississippi and it is a major hub for businesses across the U.S. Despite this, there are several places in the city and elsewhere that could use some Christian renewal. There is quite a few abandoned buildings and it is not completely uncommon to see homeless people on the street. As for the homeless, I help them when I can by buying them food or a bus ticket, but I never give them money out of fear of them spending it on alcohol or drugs.

If you are interested in volunteering or living in the city of Minneapolis, I strongly believe you should message me, and we should work to secure a Christian future for America. I also would like your input on what the platform of the party should be.

I didn't mean to say I was a Libertarian. I meant to say I was into bridging the gap between unbelievers and the Republican party. Ron Paul was my choice over McCain because he seemed like a Christian Nationalist, he was Pro-Life, anti-war, against abortion, and he stood up to groups like the Black Panthers and the KKK. Democracy is a bad political platform. It results in mob rule similar to what we had in Jesus's time.
