Yeah, the programming is deep. It goes both ways too. Conservative and progressive Christians often allow politics (the world) to influence their views more that Jesus.

The State is a Narcissist

This hits home. I got up with my kids and left a Presbyterian dedication for summer camp last year when they starting preaching on Ukraine and how evil Russia was. Regardless what you think about the war, that type of speech has no place in a church. A whole country is not evil. I know many great Russians. WWJD?
