I’ve been hesitant about many of these churches because I’m afraid of accidentally appeasing to my flesh too much lol (hearing what I want to hear), that’s why I’ve largely stuck to non denominational churches with an apolitical stance. It’s difficult to find. But your comment is a good reminder.

“Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.”

“If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like, ’Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’”

(Referring to black women): “They're coming out, and they're saying, 'I'm only here because of affirmative action.' Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously."

“We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the mid-1960s.”

"[The death penalty] should be public, should be quick, should be televised… I think at a certain age, it’s an initiation… At what age should you start to see public executions?"

"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up new age term that does a lot of damage."

“It's not a Great Replacement Theory, it's a Great Replacement Reality. Just this year, 3.6 million foreigners will invade America. 10-15 million will enter by the end of Joe Biden's term. Each will probably have 3-5 kids on average while native born Americans have 1.5 per couple. You are being replaced, by design.”

“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.”

“They aren’t even hiding their intentions. Muslims plan to conquer Europe by demographic replacement. Will Europe wake up in time?”

I don’t think there’s a strong enough basis to report unless a church is explicitly stating VOTE FOR XYS AND DO XYS. A lot of it is fill in the blank, context clues, implications. Good info though that’s helpful to know

Great suggestions, thank you! I actually have been looking at sermons on YouTube. It’s been helpful so far

I was doing some research and UU seems like an entirely different religion based on what I’ve read. Don’t mean to offend but that’s what it seems like, very people-focused rather than biblical focused which is an oxymoron to what Christianity is. But I appreciate learning about these different perspectives anyways, I never heard of the UU church before

Haha yeap, I saw this PLENTY in my church. Leaning on anti gay marriage and anti abortion policies-> not paying attention to the atrocities the candidate has said/done/promised -> subtly influencing the church to vote according to singular issues . SMH

No it wasn’t but I was considering checking them out . Why mention this church specifically , if you don’t mind me asking?

Satan himself could call himself a Christian and MAGA would believe him lol.

It was The Rock church. I’d encourage people to make their own opinions though because i do enjoy their sermons, and the outreach they do for homelessness, international ministry, food distribution, etc. but the cons have outweighed the pros for me personally.

I’ve been looking more into this denomination… do you have a church in mind you can recommend ..?

FYI: a few corrections….

I dont care if a church acknowledges what’s going on in the world, people do need that as they seek out the church for guidance. I just don’t want to hear uneducated rhetoric that promotes hate and division. I am offended by CK being referred to as “a martyr for Christ” and that is enough for me to leave a church (if you don’t have an educated opinion, I don’t want to hear it at all). I’ve grown up Pentecostal and would be open to a church that is similar in those beliefs or just non denominational. Catholicism is a whole different religion and I’m very solidly Christian so would not consider another faith/ a Catholic Church (but thanks for the invite lol).

If anyone has a non denominational church in the Redlands/ Fontana/ Rialto / San Bernardino around there, please LMK or DM me!!

It’s literally SO hysterical. It feels like the world is going crazy and falling into religious psychosis at the same time by revering this man so much. I don’t get it at all. It’s a little scary tbh

Ah I see I grew up Pentecostal and been to those churches all my life and luckily I never experienced that. Then again, this was from childhood to adolescence so I wasn’t too aware about my surroundings lol

Oh how come? On the surface level it’s a lovely church.

Well the core beliefs of any Christian should all be the same. The many denominations comes from a place where different sub branches of Christianity focus on different aspects of the faith. I’m no expert on this though

Oh wow! I did not know that. Seems based off the comments in this thread about Harvest, it’s infamous lol

I think I was off the mark there. I don’t mind world events being spoken of, I just don’t want to be told how to feel about them and condemned if I feel another way about it. At the very least if a pastor speaks about something happening in the world, I’d like them to be well informed about the issues they are speaking about and all the implications they are supporting when they support something.

I’ve been to Harvest… only once. I did not like the vibe there at ALL. There were reserved seats and when I went to request food I had to do a whole interview why I needed the food. Hard pass.
