This is how I feel teaching my Christian students the finer points of Augustine, Luther, or even Genesis as a life long non-Christian.

This would be a great time to begin pushing for something akin to another Church Committee that could investigate DHS, ICE, the FBI, DOGE, and every other agency spying on Americans

JUST IN: Dems have gained control of the state government of Wisconsin. For first time since 2010. They have flipped state Senate & flipped state House, and kept the governorship. Among things they're likely to do: repeal Scott Walker's restrictions on collective bargaining.

If God is in charge, why did he let our country get taken over by Muslims and communists? Something for people to think about.
The good news is that God is in charge.
