I can understand your wanting to talk about the Church. But at the same time let's not ignore the facts surrounding this woman.

Yup. Fear and hatred don't belong with following Jesus.
But when wolves and the ideology of wolves have crept in among the sheep, we should find an appropriate response, no?

You should be more worried about those who want christians to be all asleep and to not wake up to do what we should be good at, sharing the truth. Because the truth sets people free from oppression.

Countering division, hatred and violence is consistent with sharing the truth.
Ignoring division, hatred and violence may fatally undermine our witness. People outside the church pay at least as much attention to our actions as to our words.

Actually you are countering (not always but often) what is said with media sources you trust but that others do not. You have caused some division here in your crusade for your liberal causes. What does scripture say about those who cause division within the church?

Hearing a Christian viewpoint from outside the conservative bubble is probably a healthy thing. In any case, most of the times we have disagreed it has been on questions of fact
Do you think the church should be paying attention to the rise of extremist ideologies and violent extremism? Why/ why not?

Only within the church, and I have seen none of that despite the leftists rants that its rapant with it. Just another ploy to get people who arent christians to hate them. This has been happening for ages. And we have not disagreed on fact, although you like to state some things as fact which are not.

Every time I see "hate", I point it out. I don't care where it comes from. TDS is real hatred. It's like they can't shut up or make peace about it. I never have seen hatred coming from Christians, real born again from above Christians. Christians always make peace.

Here's a thoughtful piece that outlines what Christian Nationalism is. In short, it's seeking Christian dominance in public life.
"The problem with Christian nationalism isn’t with Christian participation in politics but rather the belief that there should be Christian primacy in politics and law. It can manifest itself through ideology, identity and emotion. And if it were to take hold, it would both upend our Constitution and fracture our society."
