    Schools < city < state < nation < a foreign nation.

    Just as our forefathers intended. /s

    This nation needs re-education camps.

      Honestly should’ve been northern hemisphere but typical. Serious question would they even pray for Earth or or even our galaxy in the upcoming 500yrs (I say this presumably that space travel may exist safely and possibly)?

        Many churches and especially political action committees based on Christianity function as death cults. I’d say they definitionally don’t care at all about earth or the people on it. Not wanting people to go to hell stands in juxtaposition to their desire to themselves be raptured.

        It also begs the question of why we allow people who yearn for the end times to be the preferred leaders of what used to be the most powerful nation, but a little out of scope for a dumb church sign.

        You should check out Orson Scott Card. He’s a Mormon, but seems to ascribe to something similar to the OP.

        He’s got a rama series and the enderverse where he explores all of that. Probably a lot more, but that’s all I’ve read.

        At some point his islamaphobia gets the better of him, but he has quite the body of work and can spin a yarn with the best of them.
