“The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying ‘anti-Christian bias’ as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new order on supporting employees of Christian faith.”

They are attempting to do horrible things in the name of religion, yet they will not follow the teachings of Christ, which emphasized kindness and compassion for everyone.
…because I have NO idea what constitutes “anti-Christian” bias. Who sits around work and engages in casual banter about “stupid Christians” or “Jesus sucks” and “Judas was woke”. ?
Im sorry, but 26 years as a fed, and It was never a water cooler topic…ever. So ya…it’s about the turnip.
It may also be as benign as a non-believer refusing to take part in prayer at the workplace. The Christian takes offense to this action, hence anti-christian.
My son works at a textile manufacturer in West Yorkshire. He walked into the staff canteen this week and found this on the table. The next day, it had moved to a kitchen area. Someone is really trying to get the message across. He has no idea who. Says there's no-one there THAT weird 😂
No doubt you are correct.
Sort of like the "we are going to deport the criminals" 2024 campaign talking point. What they didn't mention then was that they were going to take "legals" and MAKE them "illegals" by taking their legal status away!
It’s about the guy in the next cubicle not liking the way I hum show tunes while working so making up a story about how I ruined his Easter decorations
The main thing that has always turned me off from Christianity, is how these “Christians” always scream about being attacked for their beliefs, while they actively attack everyone else. They assume because they believe in Jesus that it absolves them of all the shitty things they do to people.
Back when I was a believer it always bothered me that we show up at church once a week and then do absolutely nothing in the world to help. It made us feel like we did something and could be preachy to others about it smh. So unearned.
Becoming more and more like the Taliban every day! Hate women, hate any religion, not their own, hate science, hate education, etc. The similarities are astounding.
Dispensationalism - Old vs. New Covenant
The New Covenant, inaugurated by Christ, applies primarily to the Church now, but in their system, the full fulfillment of the New Covenant is reserved for Israel in the future (especially during the millennium). http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/TheDespoilingOfAmerica.htm
I am going to cackle with joy if the Satanic Temple @luciengreaves.bsky.social saves the day here. Or the @aclu.org, but the Temple deserves first dibs.
Great! Spread the word. Hold them accountable. The phrase "love thy neighbor" is most famously found in Leviticus 19:18 in the Old Testament of the Bible. Jesus also quotes and emphasizes this commandment in Matthew 22:39 and Mark 12:31. #LoveThyNeighbor
It's the Iranian or taliban playbook.
Isn't this the reason people immigrated to the US, to get rid of the religious government persecution?
They wouldn't know what Christian even means.
Wtf?
Ok I would like to report two anti-christian criminals, one is called trump and the other musk.
They have probably broken every allegedly christian values, an infinite number of time.
I will say this. I experienced this at state university. And it was not just teaching me to write, think, and to be influential and scientific - those checks I absolutely needed. It was outright targeting by the chair of a department in front of a 400 person classroom, repeatedly.
Rubio: Are you listening? Anti-Christian squeal and turn 'em in? Anonymity good! What will happen to the vast majority of Christian Nationalists who, to me, seem to be cavorting with the ANTI-CHRIST? This could wipe out half of those in Congress!! Need advice! 😜
I think this proves again how much of an empty suit Marco Rubio is. I read some of the people appointed below him have been identified as Christian and White Nationalists. I wouldn't be surprised if they were placed in his office against his wishes by Russell Voight.
When I saw Pat Robertson, many years ago getting involved in politics I quit soon thereafter going to church. The Bible says render to Caesar the things that are Caesars and to God the things that are Gods. That was an instant turnoff and now look what they are trying to do.
I know someone who went to a church and gassed its members, and later, went to another church and complained about the message preached; the same person seems interested in sending cops to churches to arrest members....
I’m sick of holier-than-thou assholes who use their religion as a weapon to attack people they don’t like, then run crying to Daddy when we stand up to them.
And if you think that statement is “anti-Christian,” that says more about your view of Christianity than it does mine.
Jesus-Fuckin'-Christ What Now? The wages of sin, the reward of fear...is worrying and fretting every second of the year. The Church and the state, your God and countrykind— One gets your body, the other gets your mind.
Nice pivot from focusing on antisemitism. Historically, Christianity has been the greatest incubator of antisemitism. Just saying. They are not our friends.
WEAPONIZINIG CHRISTIANITY! Rubio has found his ERRORogenous zone: the lust one gets when free to condemn and punish. If this was the Old Inquisition Rubio would ride his government mule into an errant village and exacting punishment --each strike boosting his self-righteousness. Pathetic!
Welcome to the dark ages.
After Rome collapsed, because some assholes thought Empirism was better than democracy, Europe lived through 1000 years of unscienced obscurity.
So, saying “no” to letting some jackass shove a Bible down your throat is “bias”? Tell the Thumpers to quit talking about their goddamn religion at work.
“The phrase 'Someone ought to do something' was not, by itself, a helpful one. People who used it never added the rider 'and that someone is me'.”

I am not a Supreme Court member OR a Senator OR a representative. I am an 82-year old grandmother who has been protesting this country’s shameful moves since the 60s.
Unfortunately so true. Try as I might, I haven't convinced nearly as many as I'd like of it. Boggles my mind people can read the Sermon on the Mount and believe MAGA is fine.
At NPS the work almost always includes weekends. If someone thought they had to have Saturday or Sunday off for religious reasons they could get that schedule, but I can see a problem if EVERYONE "needed" Sunday off. I'm pretty sure this kind of thing has come up in the past and ended up in court.
Jesus effing Christ. I was also a federal employee at two agencies in multiple locations. Even in a very social workplace with mostly liberal employees anyone's religion or non-religion was not any kind of issue in any way.
I've spent my 45 years in secular southern Maine. There are different houses of worship everywhere, but in general, no one talks about or cares about what religion anyone is.
I have never once had someone in the wild or at work/schools/ etc try to make me feel bad for being agnostic/atheist.
Well, apparently disliking a government means you have bias over the religion of that government. So come on, everyone, report employees who disrespect the govt of Hungary and Russia.
Just show what a gaslight the antisemitism dog whistle it. Pit Americans against each other in the name of the totally twisted project Esther. Sick f*cks.
At this point, I hope everyone who's pressed on this collectively lies. The Trump administration would lose their shit.
Just remember that this administration expects honesty and obedience, and part of disrupting comes by lying to government officials who are fucking incompetent at everything.
You can also turn that shit around on anyone who does the whole "ur anti-Christian". For example, the rabid christofascists should be labeled as anti-Israel for having more respect towards Christianity than Israel. It's not hard to make a case that christofascists prioritizes their faith over Israel
Everything this admin does should be disrupted, even by the most trivial means. A powerful bureaucracy can get over these trivial matters, one that is gutted is sloppy enough to eventually derail if you bruteforce disruption frequently enough.
Just in... a Jesus follower who works at the State Dept explains Good Friday to a co-worker and is fired because killing Jesus is considered anti-Christian.
You gotta love the republikkklan kkkristians.
Do THESE PEOPLE know that Jesus was born, lived, and died a Middle Eastern Jew? He was not born somewhere in the middle of Iowa.
Jesus did say, "Bring me your sick, poor, and hungry,so I can tell them to piss off. You're not rich or white enough for me."
To be a good Christian one must wrestle with faith to find the meaning. With the administrations response to Bp Budde the interpretation of “anti-Christian” has a profound and frightening implications. Like the father sent to El Salvador it’s an excuse to attack those who don’t conform. Unacceptable
“HR would like a word regarding our memo from earlier today to all staff and your response. As we know you read, you’re no longer allowed to outwardly practice, discuss, or value ideas besides those espoused by Christians. Their twisted interpretations of the Bible are your new guide.”
They’re big on symbolism. The word triggers a switch in their brain. They have been told to harbor biases. Human programming.
So, when you hear “Christian”, that means you. Common bias.
These doors basically think humans are imaginary.
Ultimate, genetically inbred paranoia. ✌️
What if those Christian employees believe in the teaching of Jesus and the prophets that we care for and love the "aliens in your midst"? Do we snitch or not?
Hitler described himself as a Christian and the Nazi party promoted ‘positive Christianity’
…. Straight from the fuhrers playbook . Next up the ‘Trump Youth’
The Trump Youth is already here. Look at the numbers of young men ages 18-24 who voted for him. 20 middle schoolers in Houston TX just brutally attacked a girl at school for wearing a hijab and she’s in the hospital. MIDDLE SCHOOL.
Since when is anti Christian, anti American? We are supposed to have “freedom of religion” in America, that includes freedom from Christianity, if so inclined.
Seems this doesn't protect Jewish students. It must be anti-Semitic and those who practice OR MIGHT SOMEDAY EXPRESS Pro-Christian bias need to be deported.🤔🤔
Let's add a push by RFK Jr. to further vaccine hesitancy. Peddling alternative treatments (like Vitamin A for measles) that can actually cause serious health problems.
Charlotte who you reposted left out: “ Vengeance is MINE” says the Lord. Deuteronomy 32:35 and Romans 12:19
Trump, a man who hasn’t shown any righteousness, is bent on revenge against anyone & any country that goes against him, especially when he is filled with & acts in hate, which is all the time.
So are you anti-Christian if your Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu?? WTH? When Christianity is steadily decreasing, this’ll be the final nail in the coffin for many agnostics!! I’m a Catholic Christian & I resent and deplore this! Not my definition of Christianity! ✌️🏳️🌈❣️
They can't even pretend to behave like decent human beings! Not sure what entity they're worshipping & what religion these revolting people follow but no thanks. I may be agnostic but I'll stick with the Guy that encouraged humanity to live that weak,woke sissy stuff.
Worked in the fed govt over 30 years and their was never an issue with anyone's religious beliefs . My offices were always respectful and it rarely ever thought about except around different holidays In fact we never discussed people politics either. We went in and did our jobs under different adms
I hate when I type fast and don't read carefully what I wrote or the auto correct .Should be "there" not "their" ,"we rarely ever thought I about it,""people's ". Ugh 🥴
‘My coworker is loudly declaring his piety [matthew 6.3] and i do not think he will be cristlike in seeking to bring the mighty down low and lift up the lowly [luke 1.52]’
I can’t stand Trump & this administration… but I just can’t fathom how this is real? And that’s saying something. Seriously, how is this not illegal? I’m a Christian, but if there was ever the same thing with another religion, say Islam, I’d be pissed too.
Sorry, Rubio. If there really is a "god", my perfect peace would be to sit at the "gate of heaven" and watch all of you be turned away. If heaven is a place I have to spend eternity with all of you, I don't see myself walking through that gate.
would a Jewish employee or a Hindu employee be showing anti-christian bias by recognizing or celebrating their own religions, would a Star Of David necklace be an insult to a zealous evangelical wearing a cross necklace, what if a Catholic wore a crucifix around that person?
Next it will be a job requirement to be a Christian nationalist. Being a racist bigot will be a plus too. This is crazy Trump is not religious. This is why l’m an atheist. I know Christians I can say I’m a much nicer person, Trump will go to hell when he dies. The corruption is growing fast.
I remember reading something about false prophets, no other gods, or make idols or something. I don't remember the exact wording but I remember those being specifically not cool.
I think he’s a weak link in Trumpland. He seems to be at odds and remote / sulky.
I think he’s vulnerable to a way out being presented, but not as an enemy of the state.
Right?! I keep saying more people would become Christian if Christians acted like Christians. It’s absurd how easily manipulated they were by just out-in-the-open Nazis.
THIS!! I grew up in the church. I took those Bible verses to heart: Love thy neighbor. Feed the sick. It saddens so much how everyone is so selfish and hateful now. It's makes me so sad.
My local Catholic Church and school changed their name to a
Spanish one and became bi-lingual. They now get their followers and students from Spanish speaking countries. I guess Americans don’t attend any more.
Exactly. I have my relationship with and belief of God and his love, but I don't much care for a lot of the people who supposedly represent him and their hateful ways.
No. They are not deporting people for anti-semitic protests. They are deporting people for anti-Israel protests. The political state of Israel is not = all Jews. They let literal Nazis march around with their flags shouting "Jews will not replace us" and say they're very fine people.
None of the above. They are using anti-semitism as a cover for deportation of anyone they want, to make their quota (reported as 1 million first year). They have latched onto anti-semitism because they know the strength of the US Jewish lobby, which intimidates the political class.
Hmm.. what do they think about Vivek Ramaswamy, Usha Vance, etc? The vegetarian Brahmin supremacists who'd actually mob lynch beef eaters if they get a chance?
Let me add that I showed this movie w/school/parent approval when we talked about brainwashing during/after a dystopian novel. Most of my students claimed it to be their best movie choice on my year-end critique. Today in FL, no way would it be approved, but I would have shown it upon retirement. 😁
I'd like to see him cuffed and frog-walked out of the White House, down the driveway, and not so gently stuffed into the back of a well-marked police van. Then, perp-walked into a Federal courthouse where he's arraigned and held without bail until trial.
I don't care what the charges are.
Rubio is the first to be reported. I am Christian and sure don’t believe in taking away peoples dignity and sending them to this crazy prison in El Salvador. Even criminals can be redeemed and shouldn’t be put to death in these prisons.
Excellent point! Flood the tip line with reports that Rubio is exhibiting anti Christian behavior and speaking in an unchristian way toward others. I'm doing it! Join me so he has to abandon this madness like all the other snitch lines they've tried. 👍
There will be plenty of those “ bearing false witness”, I would bet. Small office spats will get magnified and revenge reports will get filed. What can possibly go wrong with this idea??
I actually love that. What if we all used the red letter text to call out MAGA? I stopped being a Christian a long time ago but I still have the actual Jesus stuff in my head
Same. I can recite numerous passages from the times in my childhood and as a young wife then married to a cult church member. I read the Bible so I didn’t have to listen to whatever self-righteous asshole was delivering a too-long, boring-ass sermon.
MAGA hates when the words are used against them.
I used to read during sermons too. Because I also went to a cult church. What I read didn’t match what I heard and that’s when the deconstruction began.
Uh oh. If those Christians read part 2 in their favourite book and figure out who gets blamed for the death of the hero - then the coworkers who don’t read part 2 are in so much trouble.
I’m just wondering if Rubio can explain why he sometimes elevates antisemitism as the worst offense and other times elevates anti-Christian bias as what matters most. Is there a reason he can’t just be against discrimination on the basis of religion?
I suspect he believes discrimination on the basis of religion is at least tolerable, even if he doesn't view it as desirable or necessary, but those are also possibilities.
Remember Hegseth has a symbol of genocidal hatred & mass murder tattooed on his chest, that's the kind of company Rubio keeps.

They mean "not showing obedience to them as default authorities".
eg. Being gay or trans in public will be considered anti-Christian bias
Watch for it
