rail on to fire up his fundamentalist Christian base. There will be no bridges built that will stand up under any traffic at all.

Trump will incite the right-wing zeal of his so-called base, as he always does, and that base will respond positively to the incitement. Coons will sit in silence, as he typically does.

Here in the Religion Group on DU, we will hear about how nice it is that the politicians prayed together.

So much more important to capitulate to the demands of the religious insane right wing.

for attending the prayer breakfast. However, the idea that a common religion among politicians is meaningless when it comes to political positions. The idea that simply because both sides claim to be Christians there will be cooperation is plainly ridiculous.

A common religion, like Christianity, does not even result in agreement on religious beliefs. The continuous splintering into denominations and sects among Christians is all the evidence needed to demonstrate that.

Trump and Coons both claim to be Presbyterians, but a glance at the history of the Presbyterian Church shows that even that denomination cannot agree. It has split many, many times, over minor disagreements of doctrine and rules.

Christianity is the dominant major religion in the United States of America. That said, there is almost nothing one can say about Christianity that applies to the entire Christian community. The only real connection is one individual, who was supposed to have lived a a couple thousand years ago. Everything else is open to question among Christians

There is no comity among Christians regarding their own beliefs, so expecting there to be comity on political issues, due to a common religion, is simply foolishness.

It's been put on since the 50's, basically by a World-Domination-focused Illuminati-type group known as The Family. It's their one public event that they do.

And I'm sure Trump's a member, as is Putin, as is MbS (you don't HAVE to be Christian, just a fascist), as is Le Pen, as is Bolsonaro, as are likely the leaders of Poland and Hungary ... and I bet all those people will send delegations to this event.

I am pretty convinced that this group is far more powerful than anybody realizes, and are a serious threat to democracy around the world.
