— F. Scott Fitzgerald
“I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.”

I’m thankful Christians are starting to recognize the idolatry of Christian Nationalism.
But I think many are still failing to understand the full magnitude of its vastness and evil—both within our country and Christendom itself.
Trumpism has helped some Christians finally see the dangers of Nationalism, but in many ways president Trump is simply one manifestation of many generations of Christian Nationalism. And while he uses rhetoric and commits actions that are xenophobic, racist, and vile...the systems, ideologies, and marriage of Christianity with hate has been present since the very first colonizers started their genocidal quest for wealth and power.
Christian Nationalism goes way beyond Trump, and a serious study of American history—filled with continuous bloody and oppressive traumas—reveals the ugly truth that our nation has used Christian Nationalsim for hundreds of years as one of its most common and effective weapons, often undetectable to those who embraced it as their preferred brand of faith.
The slaughter of Indigenous peoples was rationalized as a divinely inspired form of Manifest Destiney. Slavery was rationalized as a way to “Christianize” others and bring them to “salvation.”
We only have to look back a few years to see how completely poisoned American Christianity—especially white Christianity—has become with nationalism. After 9/11, it passionately embraced The Global War On Terror, gleefully embracing the belief that it was a form of patriotism and holy righteousness to violently and clumsily invade the Middle East, killing hundreds of thousands of Muslims, and leaving behind poverty, death, destruction, and social and political chaos. If you think Christian Nationalism is bad now, remember when we convinced ourselves that WMDs were a justification for ending the lives of countless people loved by God. Our nation continues to kill to this day...and our churches often laud these acts as being honorable and holy. God forgive us.
It was also not that long ago when Christians helped create the legislation and laws that have now cemented a penal system that mimics modern slavery, where the rich are rewarded because of the legal representation they can afford, while the poor and BIPOC are disproportionately arrested and incarcerated. This was all sanctioned by a Christian society that spiritualized its racism and fear and pretended its actions were an act of protecting the country.
Christian Nationalism has infiltrated every aspect of our society. Education, wages, government, military, policing, entertainment, healthcare, social services, and especially within the Christian religion.
We must realize that the scope of Christian Nationalism isn’t just limited to Trump or even this era—it’s a sin as old and prominent as the country itself. God help us.
He’s a symptom of the problems and used the corruption to get power but he’s not the cause of the problems. We need to deal with our system of white supremacy and start to clear all the bullshit it throws in the way.

Recognizing emotionally mature people
Taken from Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson, Psy.D. A summary of the tips the book hands you on how to recognize emotionally healthy people.
They’re realistic and reliable
They work with reality rather than fighting it. They see problems and try to fix them, instead of overreacting with a fixation on how things should be.
They can feel and think at the same time. The ability to think even when upset makes an emotionally mature person someone you can reason with. They don’t lose their ability to see another perspective just because they aren’t getting what they want.
Their consistency makes them reliable. Because they have an integrated sense of self, they usually won’t surprise you with unexpected inconsistencies.
They don’t take everything personally. They can laugh at themselves and their foibles. They’re realistic enough to not feel unloved just because you made a mistake.
They’re respectful and reciprocal
They respect your boundaries. They’re looking for connection and closeness, not intrusion, control or enmeshment. They respect your individuality and that others have the final say on what their motivations are. They may tell you how they feel about what you did, but they don’t pretend to know you better than you know yourself.
They give back. They don’t like taking advantage of people, nor do they like the feeling of being used.
They are flexible and compromise well. Because collaborative, mature people don’t have an agenda to win at all costs, you won’t feel like you’re being taken advantage of. Compromise doesn’t mean mutual sacrifice; it means a mutual balancing of desires. They care about how you feel and don’t want to leave you feeling unsatisfied.
They’re even-tempered. They don’t sulk or pout for long periods of time or make you walk on eggshells. When angered, they will usually tell you what’s wrong and ask you to do things differently. They’re willing to take the initiative to bring conflict to a close.
They are willing to be influenced. They don’t feel threatened when other people see things differently, nor are they afraid of seeming weak if they don’t know something. They may not agree, but they’ll try to understand your point of view.
They’re truthful. They understand why you’re upset if they lie or give you a false impression.
They apologize and make amends. They want to be responsible for their own behavior and are willing to apologize when needed.
They’re responsive
Their empathy makes you feel safe. Along with self-awareness, empathy is the soul of emotional intelligence.
They make you feel seen and understood. Their behavior reflects their desire to really get to know you, rather than looking for you to mirror them. They aren’t afraid of your emotions and don’t tell you that you should be feeling some other way.
They like to comfort and be comforted. They are sympathetic and know how crucial friendly support can be.
They reflect on their actions and try to change. They clearly understand how people affect each other emotionally. They take you seriously if you tell them about a behavior of theirs that makes you uncomfortable. They’ll remain aware of the issue and demonstrate follow-through in their attempts to change.
They can laugh and be playful. Laughter is a form of egalitarian play between people and reflects an ability to relinquish control and follow someone else’s lead.
They’re enjoyable to be around. They aren’t always happy, but for the most part they seem able to generate their own good feelings and enjoy life.

Mexico
We know you think you know our culture. But you don’t know the half of it.
Jalisco, Mexico
Oaxaca, Mexico
Chiapas, Mexico
Yucatan, Mexico
Guerrero, Mexico
Veracruz, Mexico
And that’s still not even the half of it.
Look at those colors! I’ve been to Mexico, but I only went to the touristy part of the Yucatan where I stayed at an all inclusive where I could get any kind of food but Mexican.
Needless to say, I’d like to go back some day…
