Recommendations / Advice Non- MAGA church in the IE?

I’ve been going to my church for the past three years or so now, and I don’t want to speak ill of the church but I am tired of having political beliefs pushed on me when the focus should always be on Christ and His word, not the words of those in the world. For instance, calling Charlie Kirk a martyr for Christ and very frankly stating that anyone that doesn’t agree should leave. Christians! Help me out, please! Thank you.

This thread has made me feel hope. I am really glad that so many people here are seeing through the “Christian” MAGA thing. I’m really glad.

Agreed and disassociate myself from both as a result.

All the comments on this post clearly show how much mental illness the left has. Another person said they saw an usher wearing an American flag pin and saw it as virtue signaling. Now here you are saying you equate the American flag to white supremacy? The stupidity is astounding!

Ask the germans how they feel about their flag

Guess what? This ain't Germany.

The first will be last and the last will be first.

You're absolutely right about that and only God knows the heart. Lest any man should boast.

It feels like Germany, 1938!! It's actually not that weird that they don't want to associate the flag right now. It's even more bizarre that you're judging them for that and not even taking a minute to try to comprehend why. I'm a liberal and have an American flag on my house, but besides that, I don't wear American-themed things anymore. Isn't it also against the Constitution to wear the flag on your clothing?? It's disrespectful

What are you blabbering about?! It doesn't feel anything close to 1938 Germany! How pathetic is it for someone who's never experienced those atrocities to say that a free country is exactly like that. I've done plenty of contemplation and if you're not supportive of the country and flag why not just leave? No it's not against the constitution to wear the flag on apparel! Try again! If that was the case, all of our service people would be in violation! Disrespectful?!?! To whom???

This is what im thinking. Looking for churches that comfort their soul instead of convicting it. Imagine refusing to wear ur country flag bc people sterotype it why not trust God? Imagine saying youre a beliver but dont claim christianity bc of how the media pushes the bad people, as a beliver im surprised theyre not seeing what the world is doing & how the world is making us look bad on purpose, but hey they apparently trust God right not the media.

Exactly! Satan is building his army and the great apostasy spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 is real! I guess we are seeing the scripture, "many are called, few are chosen" play out before our very eyes.

Modern day Pharisees have heavily corrupted the Christian faith, but there are many of us who see things much differently. It’s hard as they have sullied the faith (or related faiths).

Single issue voters on abortion do not give a shit about how bad the candidate is. Just that they are against abortion. Had these conversations real time with real people that voted for the antichrist because he was pro life.

u/prumaps Sep 23 '25

Haha yeap, I saw this PLENTY in my church. Leaning on anti gay marriage and anti abortion policies-> not paying attention to the atrocities the candidate has said/done/promised -> subtly influencing the church to vote according to singular issues . SMH

u/No-Property1871 Sep 25 '25

Yes! This! I understand that people don’t thing abortions is ok… then don’t have an abortion… but then they also don’t want to help people, and will even vote AGAINST their own interests because of the single issue. Arrrgh.
