Well, if this rapid religious and political change is to be believed, it’s very good news. Georgia’s purple-ness may indeed be the strongest indication. But I won’t be a “true believer” until Margery Taylor Green is defeated, never to be heard from again. 🙄

They may not be going to church anymore but I bet they still claim to be Christian. The south STILL votes like they always have done for years and that is based on their so-called Christian values.

“so called” are the

operative words. They have redefined Christianity to the

point where not even Jesus Christ

himself would recognize it.

If they infect the schools with their distorted vision, they certainly should be paying taxes. After all, they’ve been paying for votes and politicians.

If you want a state religion, move to Afghanistan. The way the evangelical Christian’s treat women would fit right

in!

Could we get a transcript instead of AI art and narration? Great piece otherwise.

Agreed. The narrative content has the typical AI-generated fluff and tends to repeat information in a way that makes it sound like a middle schooler's book report, and the images are just too hard for me to watch. It's like they threw every single prompt-generated image up there with no consideration for the narration.

Frauds. I have seen so many dressed up with the variety of "Christian" costumes. Not just christians, every religious group. Sadly they are impostors. They are "clubs". Anything to buy a "policy of good character" that in reality does not exist. It is "made up" like the charlatans/parasites that live off of their donations. Their support covers the price of policy depending on benefits. If you withold payment, your benefits are revoked. There are penalties included as well as interest. Pay up...

“So-called” because you don’t understand a commitment to anything greater than yourself? Or perhaps you just can’t relate to the depth of that kind of commitment?

That’s not a commitment, it’s a bastardization of what Jesus taught.

You missed the point.

Several of the values promoted by the most vocal of those in the US who call themselves Christians are directly contrary to the words of the Gospels. Hence "so-called".

As an East Texas native who grew up in the area I see much of what you are describing. I have gradually abandoned my native childhood church and have not affiliated since! I like the idea of having a spiritual life with out a church!

I approve and appreciate the script’s information, but as an artist, I have to say I find the AI illustrations creepy. I would rather have graphs with their citations up on the screen, or actual photos & videos. Besides, AI uses a lot of energy and water to produce, and it does nothing to give real human artists any income to live on. Please stop with the creepy AI slop; the topic is engaging without it. Unless you are illustrating Jesus, which is also an artificial construct; but if so, make him look like he came from the Middle East.
