Words matter.
I am an old salesman. Like any professional salesman, I know words matter. For salesmen, words are tools to be carefully considered. “Thank you” at the end of a sale gets you “you’re welcome” in return. “Congratulations!” on the other hand gets you “thank you” and the customer feels gratitude towards you as you part company. That feeling of gratitude is where later repeat and referral business radiates from. It’s a difference a professional knows. A professional considers each word in their arsenal for timing and potential potency.
It is not appropriate to discuss religion or politics in the work environment.
Specifically, I am an old car salesman. Decades of stories for another day but I can assure you the car guys and girls of American automobile showrooms never adhered to this social more. I won’t try to explain the unique environment here. Imagine a world with not only a complete void of political correctness but also an atmosphere of respect for brutal sincerity. We didn’t put on airs for each other. We got paid to do that when the customers were around. We discussed WHATEVER in the showroom.
How long have you believed that it was anti-social behavior to openly discuss religion and politics? How long have Americans believed that? Personally, I have mostly ignored that protocol but I do not remember a time in my lifetime where it was not present in society. We didn’t always have the awareness that we do now when it comes to memes, viral moments, and contrived narratives. The motive here seems clear now, both with benefit of hindsight and observation of our America’s current condition.
It is not appropriate to discuss religion in mixed company.
It is a testament to the strength of our Enemy’s deceptive powers that something so obvious has stood mostly unchallenged for so long. Do you really think that We as a People can come together and solve our imminent problems by being shamed into not discussing our relationships with our higher power with each other? To witness? To testify? We embrace this as simple etiquette?
Have you had the pleasure of encountering one who is truly walking with their God? Of course you have! Have you ever felt the wellspring of joy that sharing stories of your relationship with God can bring you? I hope you have! It is powerful and it makes us powerful together. It unites Us. Transferring trust was a large part of my sales career and the most powerful truth I have to share is Jesus. I feel pity for you if you have not yet witnessed the fire of optimism in an American’s eyes when you have a comfortable conversation with them about your relationship with God.
Do not discuss God openly except with the like minded in your home or designated buildings.
You should free yourself of that immediately. Discuss God openly. If you are an American atheist, discuss your disbelief of God openly. Reach out to me to share your thoughts if you like. My faith is challenged and I love to discuss it with all kinds of other Americans. I have friends who are Satanists that I can discuss Jesus with and we agree on many common human and especially American values. We would have no idea had we not allowed ourselves the freedom to talk religion together.
It is not appropriate to discuss politics in mixed company.
Our freedom is what this particular attack has been about from inception. How can you prioritize something like freedom when you are too afraid to discuss it with exactly the people you need to in order to protect it? One another. All of us. If and when the American people want something in large numbers all We have to do is ask for it. Demand it, if necessary, but once we all agree on a common desire, We only have to stand and demand it.
How can we decide what is best for us if we are shamed into not discussing it with each other?
We cannot. The enemy knew this when they installed this mentality using these words. Religion. Politics. The enemy knows that our shared dialogue leads to their end. Their hold on the public mindset grows more tenuous each day and they know that as well. They fear the fierce power of widely shared American pride. We are a gathering existential threat and they see this narrative firewall falling.
Do not discuss the state of affairs in Our nation with those who see things differently.
If you are an American, you must liberate yourself from this. Immediately. Whatever your politics. Americans everywhere are being forced to consider this particular deception. Our streets are burning. The civil war these same narrative controllers have been for years now conditioning us to accept as inevitable appears imminent. An appearance of division causing real world division. This manufactured narrative does not stand up in any open minded conversation between Americans. We were told not to discuss our politics except with the like minded and sent home to our electronic echo chamber corners. They convinced us that we do not share values and desires. We are under attack now from an enemy that hides behind these tricks. The only thing that keeps Us from defeating them is the deliberately engineered belief that we should not be discussing together the very arena they pillage us in.
Americans either dialogue about politics and religion now or there will be no America left to discuss. We have decades of programming and deceits to overcome both within ourselves and each other. Our neighbors are in the streets and at each others throats. The deceivers continue pushing thinly veiled false narratives via their information gatekeepers. We either accept these narratives of destruction for our nation or We reject them and reignite our American pride and love for one another. Not making a decision on this now is allowing a decision be made for you.
A lifting of the global spirit is within reach. Revelations and wonders are truly within our grasp. We have the potential to transform our world if we can just learn to see through the deceptions. We the People have the structure of government needed to lead the way for patriots worldwide. We have the means so we must acknowledge the responsibility. Reject all regulation regarding discussion of religion and politics.
Do it now.
Words matter.
Talk God. Talk Country.
