Awudingi ukujonga ngakumbi kunerhashalala leebhili kwizindlu zikarhulumente ezithintela ukufikelela kwisisu okanye ekujoliseni ukwala ukhathalelo lwempilo kunye neenkonzo kwi-LGBTQ ukwazi ukuba ubuKristu bunempembelelo enamandla kwezopolitiko zaseMelika. Kodwa loo mpembelelo inkulu kakhulu xa ithelekiswa nepesenti yoqobo yabantu abahamba icawe. Kumashumi eminyaka eli nani liwile, kwaye oko kuyenzeka ngokuyinxenye ngenxa yobuhlanga bobuKristu, ngokutsho kwabanye abaphengululi.
Kwivoti entsha, iGallup bafumanise ukuba okokuqala ukusukela oko baqala ukubuza, bambalwa abantu baseMelika abathi baya ecaweni, kodwa okona kubangela umdla, eli nani liza emva kweminyaka engama-20 yokuhla kwecawa. Ukusukela nge-1930s, malunga ne-70-75% yabantu baseMelika baxelele iGallup ukuba baya ecaweni, kwindlu yesikhungu, okanye kwimosque, kodwa ukusukela ngo-2000 eli nani lehlile kwaye ngokwengxelo yakutshanje ikwi-47%.
UGallup uchonga apho oku kulahleka kwenzeka khona: ikakhulu phakathi kwewaka leminyaka kunye neenkululeko, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba abantu abadala baseMelika kunye nabazimeleyo nabazigcinayo abasuki kwiicawa, lizinga nje elisezantsi. Ngokubanzi kuye kwakho utshintsho olukhulu kunqulo olulungelelanisiweyo eMelika-kodwa umbuzo ngowokuba kutheni.
Ukuthetha noMgcini , iingcali ezininzi zinike inkcazo elula: umtshato wolungiselelo phakathi kombutho olondolozayo kunye nelungelo lokuhambisa ivangeli elijike iqela leRiphabhlikhi laba sisibonakaliso senkolo yobuhlanga, ubufanasini, i-transphobia, i-misogyny, kunye nobukhulu babamhlophe into encinci yokucima abantu .
Abantu baseMelika bayazishiya iicawa ngenxa yokungavisisani nelungelo lenkolo, utshilo uDavid Campbell, unjingalwazi kwisebe lezenzululwazi kwezopolitiko e-Notre Dame. Ubabalo lwaseMelika: Lwahlula njani inkolo kwaye lusimanya. Abantu abaninzi baseMelika-ngakumbi abantu abancinci-babona inkolo ibotshelelwe kunye ne-conservatism yezopolitiko, kunye neqela leRiphabhlikhi ngokukodwa.
Ndithatha ingxaki noCampbell ndisebenzisa igama elithi inkolo xa eyona nto ayithethayo bubuKrestu kunye nokubandakanyeka kwabo kwezopolitiko zaseMelika, kodwa inqaku lakhe lilonke liqinile. Ukwehla okunene kwenzeka ngo-2000, kwaye yintoni enye eyaqala ukwenzeka emva koko? Unyulo lwe ukuzalwa ngokutsha UGeorge W. Bush kunye neemfazwe ezintsha zenkcubeko phakathi kwelungelo kunye nenkolo, iMelika yonke. Iicawa zazikhwaza kakhulu kwaye zisoyikeka kakhulu ngokuzonda abantu abathandana nabasetyhini kunye nabasetyhini kunye noloyiko malunga nabantu abavela kwezinye iinkolo kwaye ngokubanzi bexhokonxa umbono wokuba iMelika yayililizwe lobuKristu.
Kodwa ngaphandle kwento ethethwa lilungelo, iMelika lilizwe elingenanto, ubuncinci ngokwemithetho yethu (okanye ubuncinci yenzelwe ukuba ibe njalo), kwaye nanjengoko iqela leRiphabhlikhi liye laya phambili kwisiphelo esinzulu kwixesha likaTrump. Eli liqela elichazwa ngokuzibaxa izinto, hayi ngokomgaqo, kwaye ukuba nobugqwirha kunabantu abashiya iicawa abazixhasayo.
Ukubanjwa kobugqwirha bobuvangeli ngasekunene, kunye nendlela eyenza bonke ubuKrestu bubonakale bubi, akubonakali kutshintsha. Andiboni mqondiso wokuba ilungelo lenkolo, kunye nobuzwe bobuKristu, buyaphela, uCampbell uxelele iGuardian. Oko kuphakamisa ukuba ukungaphenduli komzimba kuya kuqhubeka ukubonwa- kwaye ke baya besanda abantu baseMelika ukuba bayeke inkolo, utshilo. Kodwa kwakhona, xa esithi inkolo, uthetha into ethile.
AmaMelika are ukufumana inkolo encinci, ngokukaGallup . Ngo-2000, ama-59% abantu baseMelika bathi inkolo ibaluleke kakhulu kubomi babo, kwaye ngo-2020 kwehle ukuya kuma-48%. Kwakhona ngo-2000, i-8% yabaphenduli bathi inkolo yabo ayikho kwaye ngoku ukuya kuma-22%. Ngokuyintloko oku kulungiswa kuvela kwiinkulungwane zeminyaka.
Kodwa ukuba ungene ngenani elibangela inkxalabo enkulu apha, azikho mbi njengokuhla kwama-70% ukuya kuma-47% kubulungu becawa. Ewe, oko kwehla kakhulu kodwa ngo-2000 kuphela ngama-44% athi baye ecaweni kwiintsuku ezi-7 ezidlulileyo kwaye yi-32% kuphela abathi baya kwiiveki zonke. Ngoku la manani aku-24% nama-30% ngokwahlukeneyo. Ukwehla ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa kuncinci.
Ke, ewe, ubuKrestu obuhamba icawe busengxakini, kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba enkosi ngokuyinxenye kwabo bacinga ukuba banako ukukhupha inzondo nenkunkuma kwaye babange ukuba bathethela uthixo. Kodwa mhlawumbi, andazi, ukuba la maKrestu aqale ukugxila kuzo zonke izinto uYesu awazithethayo ngobubele kunye nokunceda amahlwempu nabagulayo kunye nabafudukayo, banokuphinda babuyisele imifanekiso yabo kwezinye? Ungahamba nayo yonke into uYesu angayenza ngoba impendulo wayeza kunceda abantu kwaye ayamkele. Ndiyathetha, ubuKristu buye bajija loo nxalenye kule minyaka ingama-2000 idlulileyo kodwa kufanelekile ukudutyulwa?
