It is not hard to see that Christianity has taken quite a hit in the last 30 years. While over 70% either believe in God, are Christians, or both, there has been almost nothing in the Liberal campaign backing Christians or to appeal to the evangalicals.
While there has been a continued outcry of discrimination - at the same time there has been an increase of violence and a collapse of the American family. How many sitcoms have a healthy American family with a strong dad working, a loving mom taking care of the children and couples not divorcing, cheating, or taking off with the same sex.
While people should have a choice, watching this choice of kissing men with men and women with women is not helping our children or the family unit as a whole.
Perhaps the reason many of the liberals are stocking up is because things may get a little rough as they crack down on immigration, special programs that favor race and gender, and simply want equality.
There wasn't big press on this but where was Trump on Christmas Eve? He was in church. How long has it been since we have had a president go to church and mean it? - not visiting mosques and become all stressed that Muslims are being persecuted while Christians are being beheaded and crucified for their faith.
Dare we hope that perhaps some semblance of how it used to be in America where people went to church, loved God and had families with a father and mother who loved each other and stayed together?
My family did.
Will there be a rebirth of Christianity in the next 4 years?
Maybe next Christmas people won't have to hide their mangers anything referrign to Jesus and have the freedom to pray in school.
One should not underestimate the power of this in America. Over 200 milion people at least believe in God or say they do. The real news on Christmas Eve - you won't see it hardly anywhere but here...

If you mean a a rebirth of "loving your neighbour as yourself" as Jesus summerised the two main points of the "Law", then it would be a good thing....but I don't see that, and the care for the poor, the widows, the orphans, and the foreigners (things that the Bible repeatedly call for us to care about) being high on the right-wing agenda.

If there is a rebirth of any kind, I doubt we can attribute it to Trump. The man is
clearly not a practicing Christian, and is doing what he's done
throughout his campaign and saying what plays well on stage. Remember
when he was asked what his favorite biblical verses were? It's clear
that he was taken completely off guard, and blustered his way out of the
question with no dignity whatsoever. The look on the interviewer's
face said it all. Christians were lied to as much as anyone to gain their vote.

I have to give Trump a LOT of credit he is a master propagandist he has a real gift he knows what people want to hear and he gives it to them
Trump adopting same behavior he criticized Clinton forhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-exhibiting-clinton-behavior-president-elect-143221842.html
and the best part of all is that when he fails to follow through his supporters make every excuse possible for his behavior he's a freakin' GENIUS Hillary should have took lessons

i am an athiest,
i dont beleive that Jesus was the 'SON OF GOD' as i dont believe in a god,
however,i do and have read the bible ,
and i think i am more 'CHRISTIAN' than most poeple that say they are ,
Jesus said and did many good things and the Bible is a good guide to live your life by.....
and unlike trump,one of my favorite Bible verses is Matthew 19:12
and it brings to mind the LBGTQI.....people
JESUS LOVED ALL,and bought them all into his CREW.....
PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL

"American Nazis Rising as Trump’s Armed Brownshirts to Target Jews"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't his daughter marry a Jew, and convert to judaism?
"Ivanka Trump's Jewish Faith: 11 Things To Know About Donald Trump's Daughter And Judaism. Before marrying Jared Kushner in 2009, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump's older daughter, converted to Judaism. She and her husband describe themselves as “Orthodox,” one of the three main strands of modern Judaism.

Makes me wonder, if the Central Bankers didn't finance Lenin and the Bolshevik Revolution would there have been a Hitler and National Socialist Party? The Devil always plays both ends against the middle!

" How many sitcoms have a healthy American family with a strong dad working, a loving mom taking care of the children and couples not divorcing, cheating, or taking off with the same sex."
Last one I remember was the Cosby Show!

carbon20- Saying you are a Christian and being a Christian are two very different things! "When Fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross (bible)"! Don't remember who said it but truer words were never written. I don't see anything good coming so I'm prepping even harder! Hope we're still having this conversation in four years!

‘Charlatan’ Evangelist To Pray With Trump At Inauguration
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/paula-white-donald-trump-inauguration_us_58652b51e4b0de3a08f76147 It’s a tactic that other
religious leaders frown upon. Earlier this year, Southern Baptist leader
and Trump critic Russell Moore tweeted out his distaste of White,
Politico reported.
“Paula White is a charlatan and recognized as a heretic by every orthodox Christian, of whatever tribe,” the tweet read."
do a little research on this piece of work and while yer at it why not send her $115
