    And gained much as well. I like your comments about cars and working on them.

    I enjoyed working on pre-computerized cars. One summer I was visiting with my sister and her family. Her husband came home, and I had my sports car spread across the work area. He picked up my gas tank and said, "You do know how to work on cars." Medicine and tech is so far advanced today.

    I think the issue is many of the religious right have a real uncomfortable feeling with living in the growing secular age.

    Naturally Christians aka the "religiousl right" see a problem with growing secularism

    But its not a problem for them because their future is secure

    As the world - in this case meaning America and the EU - becomes more secular the problems grow more insurmountable through mere human effort

    Meaning this great country of ours that conservtives love so much is "crusin' for a bruisin'"

    Two corrections:

    1. Within American Christianity's, the Religious Right is less than 1 in 5 Christians in America.

    2. "Cruisin for a Bruisin" is Religious Right talk for 'we are not getting our way.'

    So you are a Trump fan? I am glad to see Trump making all the ideologues cry.

    Trump is the darling of the far and alt right, which he is making cry.

    I think it is hilarious. I am curious to see if he can assist the push for a good tax reform bill and a new budget that is fair to all Americans.

    I can support him in that.

    Trump is not an ideologue. It is good to see you are coming around.

    He has no policy, no ideals, no morality.

    Well, if he had that, perhaps . . . but no, he does not.

    Atheists love to attack religion. Creating division works for them.

    Atheists nor agnostics are not responsible for the facts in the OP. Deal with it.

    You do realize that the majority of folk on welfare are white, single parent women, right?

    You'd need an actual education to realize that.

    You're not suggesting that minority is liberal for race are you, because you didn't see me affixing color to my post, did you?

    Not sure why you're now having trouble with word Generational and Minorities?

    gen·er·a·tion·al
    Minority
    I agree minority does encompass race but it certainly doesn't define any one in particular! Clearly I was referring to FINACIAL. So there is no need to insult my intelligence!

    <Mod Edit- Rule 2/3>

    The thread was about white Christian identity, NOT about economics. Butterballs introduced a assertion he could not adequately defend. I leave him to his folly and self aggrandizement.
