"God Creep"

The evangelicals have given up on door to door proselytization and gone for a policy of assimilation. One example is Jeb Bush is pushing "education reform"..which is really just Christians trying to get control of the countries education system or at least defund public schools to the point where responsible parents have no choice but to send their kids to private christian schools with vouchers.

The Christians are playing the long game, slowly working their dogma into everyday life. And a by-product of this is that religious people are becoming more comfortable pushing their voodoo on others. Like this Judge who claims "The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ" I guess the State of Tennessee now dictates who the Messiah is? How does a person who "feels the Holy Spirit" so strongly get into government office? They pull it off because the Christians are slowly creeping, changing what normal looks like. Bat-Crazy has become nuanced and soon will be mainstream.Here is another Tennesee example though I saw this sorta game played by the Churches in Tulsa too. Churches drive into poor communities in a big truck full of food/clothes claiming to be providing social services..but you only get the goodies if you pray with them and accept Christ in your life.
