Why is this forum so politically active?

[Maria Billingsley]

I'm curious as to what that means. . .I spend my time in the Scriptural and theological forums.

I'm quite surprised you don't know what I mean. Maybe this photo will help.

Cute but totally off track, she is.

MAGA is a symbol of a deficiency within the church that finally reared its head. Neither Trump nor politics were the catalyst. They were merely the voids they rallied behind. You don’t reach the point where you’re putting hats on Christ overnight. It’s evident there’s a dearth of belonging they find in the movement that’s lacking in the body.

Hadn't seen these.

Like Jesus would care about a worldly country when He clearly told us what His priorities are. Institutionalized Christianity sold out and destroyed itself when it tried to make Rome great again. We humans for 2000 years are not even capable of making the Kingdom great again, although a few try. The politics of man is a joke, and so is our attempts at religion which always turns worldly in nature. Self interest is the true religion of man, as that poster shows.

I already know how I'm going to vote on things, so I don't need to spend my day reading up on current news and arguing with folks about it.

May Jesus lead this woman so that she may glorify Him according to His will.

I don't really engage in politics, for a number of reasons, but I wondered why the political sections under the Christian and non-believer sections are so active?

It's not an issue for me but, rather, a curiosity.

It would be more uplifting, I guess, to see the same level of activity in other areas of the forum but it seems politics dominate.

Hope that makes sense! God bless.

This site became a political forum for the most part a long time ago.

If I were the owner then I'd ban all political topics, but it's the political topics thay drive traffic and bring the money in, so it won't happen.

The reason why this particular forum is politically active is because it is called General Politics. There are many other forums that are dedicated to different topics.

The bible is full of examples of man failing to follow the will of God and pursuing self-interest. Nothing changes. They just yet have not awakened to the right direction. The Jews of Jesus‘ day and gentile Christianity was no less guilty of being wrapped up in worldly affairs. I personally have no problem going into political threads and reminding them there is a third option, a Kingdom/ governance that runs contrary to the will of man that serves God and each other in need. You don”t find that in the governance of man, just oppression.
