The same was true of the Nazi Party rallies in Nuremberg. As a reporter for CBS William Shirer had to cover these rallies one year. And in his Berlin Diary he compared the Germans with snake handling holy rollers in Louisiana.
that's like saying Lincoln and Pol Pot were equivalent because they both presided over destructive civil wars.

You claimed that communism is incompatible with Christianity. If you count Roman Catholicism as Christianity, then Poland illustrates that you are wrong about communism.
Communism is incompatible with Catholicism and any form of theism in general. They suppressed all forms of religion during the Iron Curtain years. Polish Communism tolerated Catholicism as a dying religion on its way out. Communism as it was practiced in the East Bloc countries required that the State replace God as the source of moral authority.

The United States was never a Christian nation as far as ever having a majority of the American People follow the same form of Christianity goes (and the different forms are quite often mutually exclusive of each other so they cannot all be legitimate forms of Christianity to begin with). But since the end of World War II any hope of having a legitimate Christian organization in America has evaporated. America is now a post-Christian nation.
You've limited the definition of "Christian nation" to artificially constrain the claim. All "forms" of American Christianity saw themselves as Christian, and they most certainly did not or do not qualify as any other religion. Your claim is akin to those anti-evolutionists who say that humans can't be primates.
And suggesting that there has to be one overarching hierarchical control over religion in order to qualify as a Christian nation is likewise half-bubble off. There never was a single organizing hierarchy of American Christians, but it would be false in the extreme to believe that the majority of Americans through its entire history were anything but Christian.

I dont know what the current status is, but about 15-20 years ago I heard a news story about a government sanctioned form of Roman Catholicism that exists in The Peoples Republic of China.

No I have not. The only legitimate form of Christianity is the form that the Lord God accepts, and the form I accept is the form which the Lord God has lead me to accept as valid. All other forms of Christianity are simply false religions practiced by wolves in sheeps clothing.

You are the one with the problem here. You posed to your quiz to everyone here when you asked, Anyone have any idea? Want to rate them 1-2-or-3?

I gave up on the United States back when Slick was elected in 92. The country is not salvageable and isnt worth the effort to try to salvage it.

So your above words indicate you have no interest in this country. No interest because you do not think it is worth your efforts?
Do you always walk around harboring such revulsion for your country? Have you considered a more worthy country?
OK. Where would you rather live? When are you leaving?

I ask a question without qualification to any reader who wanted to respond, and you immediately think I am trying to patronize you?
Do you consider yourself so special around here, that I could only be talking to you? Is your name "anyone?"
Please, please, get some professional help for your vainglorious-paranoia.

Actually Snowbear37. While "wasting-our-time" claims authorship, he starts off with the "Ten Conservative Principles" by Russell Kirk.
Interesting; that as he continues into this thread he quickly looses the mild manners of an elitist, and quickly degenerates into mindless narcissism

So what, you're just going to just lay down and die? Why not go ahead and move to Canada or just put your hand in the sand? Why bother posting the subject to inform us and debunk the many misconceptions and correct a lot of revisionist history than to tell us we just need to give up and watch the nation die? It is people like you who bitch and moan about things not being the way they used to be and not do anything about it (other than throwing your hands up in surrender like a damn Frenchie) youre as much of a problem as the Progressives forcing collective socialism down the throats of the American people. Take it back or stand aside, youre in the way.
Alas while I agree with the history lesson, your pessimism is vexing and utterly wasted of someone of your caliber.
