@admin George Barna, using a strict definition, says Americans holding a Christian worldview are already in the low single digit range.

The most valuable contribution of Christianity to Mankind is the veneration of Truth and Reconciliation.

Neither of which are present in the typical basic fedi Christian, or other online spaces. I had e-trads literally defend US family court-ordered child genital mutilation on Gab Christianity group. Because questioning US family courts is an attack on women.

"it was great, my parents would be gone till like mid afternoon so Id make a pizza and watch tng."

"home alone kicks ass."

Watching Star Trek: The Next Generation was a far better use of my time, than going to an American church. Much more inspiring.

@admin In season one of The Simpsons Homer listens to the 'big game' at church on badly concealed headphones. That was 36 years ago.
@admin I always point to the lack of new church construction. If a revival were ongoing it would be like when Subway ramped up, new churches would be popping up everywhere. There was a real revival of sorts in the seventies and eighties, it was just overwhelmed numerically by the collapse in the liberal Protestant and Catholic churches. Now there isn't even a real revival. Eastern Orthodox, the big favorite in extremely online conversation, is a tiny rounding error.
@judgedread I come from a large extended family which is Catholic on both sides, and while my only contact with the church anymore is limited to attending funeral masses for relatives, I can’t help but notice the glaringly low attendance at formal mass services. And in addition to that, the only people attending these services are aging grey hairs and there are no young people with children. Similarly, Catholic schools, which I attended from grades K though 9 are all but dead in the current year.

There’s no revival happening anywhere in real life. And it’s not a case of Christianity being repressed or sabotaged or muscled out by some other religion. Christianity is just dying because people objectively, dispassionately, have outgrown it. The same way human beings eventually outgrew every other superstition we had since emerging from caves
@RaHoWaJoe Christianity is always growing somewhere with some demographic segment.

The question is: In the specific nation that you live in is it enjoying net growth or net losses?

In the US the ten year moving average is not favorable.
@ergo Were you born in the US? The context is altright tards viewing the alien Orthodox church as the potential cultural and political salvation of the US when it's a tiny, culturally irrelevant fringe group here.
@judgedread @admin Our resident Greek (Kalogeros) has also explained at length the insidious corruption present within the US Greek Orthodox church: the head US Archbishop (Elpidophoros) 'baptized' the purchased child of two sodomites. Ancestors disgust.
@judgedread Self-proclaimed Eastern Orthodox followers who aren’t even ethnically Russian or Greek or Serbian or whatever else and didn’t grow up in the culture and cannot speak the language are just larping. And after the various Eastern Orthodox denominations in the US inevitably experience the same dying off of their old congregations as Catholicsism experienced and their pews are similarly replaced with pajeets and other shitskins, the novelty will quietly and abruptly wear-off for the online crusader set as well.
@ins0mniak When normal things got media smears - 'latchkey kid' - I knew America was doomed.
Left-right alliances don't work because the left and right genuinely hate each other.

Notice that WWII was a left-left alliance vs. right-right one. On issues of heirarchy and identity there's no splitting the difference.
TBH I wrote off the altright when they wouldn't give up their smartphones.
@dickflatteningenthusiast The earliest and biggest advocate of a left-right alliance against the jews is the TRS brooding body. This happened immediately after Mike Enoch was cut loose from the Charlottesville lawsuit. My thesis is he was flipped and the entire notion is memetic poison devised either by NGOs or the vast network of US government propaganda agencies.

It's cleverness is that it permits someone to continue LARPing as a hardcore racialist and jew hater while undermining both.
