I keep saying they don't believe in God if actions speak. I'm atheist and would never imagine doing any of what they do in the name of religion.

We may have iPhones and microwaves—but we haven’t evolved much beyond the Salem Witch Trial mentality. We’re still a bunch of ignorant religious old white men with pitchforks.

It’s quite pathetic.

This was once upon a time a libertarian viewpoint. Jesus was seen as a champion of free will, and thus, the state imposing its will upon people was not a Christian position.

The only libertarians I’ve ever known are absolute dumb asses.

artmajor.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Well yes. They have abandoned most, if not all, of classical liberalism. Now we get to interact with this:

Reformed libertarian here, it's actually worse. Their ideology really has no concern over the welfare of others, very white man privilege and very much not self aware of it. Just look at all these "techno bro" douche-bag libertarians.

Abrahamic religions have been used as a mechanism of control since inception. It's the original fascism. Remember the crusades? Remember the dark ages? Remember the inquisitions? Don't forget the atrocities happening in the middle east still.

Religion was invented as a method of controlling people.

Do you believe in heaven in hell there’s a special place in hell for these evil Republicans and Trump and everybody that kisses his ass

It's not just Republicans. Organized religion has been used for control over people and for illegitimate, corrupt purposes across centuries and religions. This is why I'm an atheist.

Christianity is a death cult and it's why we can't have nice things. Their goal is for the Earth to be incinerated before their God steps off of a cloud, and makes a nice city park for the believers, where they can have lunch with apex predators. Helping people, doesn't hasten the apocalypse.

Republicans use "God" and "Jesus" as shields, just like Musk uses his children.

The woman in charge of the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency now wears two cross necklaces as she tells employees “we will comply 100%” while she fires people and lies about why. Faux Christians everywhere.

They can say whatever they want; it's only their actions that tell

Religion is all about control.

sashakatz.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Exactly!
Multiple sociology professors taught me that. Religion is all about control of the many by the few.

Yes! I actually am a person of faith but I align myself with people like Pam Bondi Archbishop Pam Bondi.

Ridiculous religious nonsense has NO place in government or politics

dewrob.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Meanwhile the so-called christians are worshipping money and power, that's their God now! They already have the legal right to discriminate against others, all while claiming that it's their religious right to do so. There's nothing Christlike about them!

I like that use use their word "evil". Which is a religious word I never liked using. But the last few years I can think of no other single word that epitomizes what the MAGA / Project 2025 is. It's the opposite of what is good. Good for America and for the world. It is best described as evil.

randomdogginess.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yeah it's really clear they don't actually believe. When they pass "Christian" laws they are just demonstrating that they think their "God" is too weak and feeble to lift a finger to do anything at all, and needs government to do their hate for Him.

When your religion doesn't encourage you to think rationally, these things happen.

I've had these very same thoughts...

brainofsteel.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I divide religions into 2 kinds: authoritarian or punishment-based, and compassion-based. The former are not bona-fide religions at all, but just a stylistic variant of authoritarian politics. In the Bible, God sent prophet after prophet to confront selfish & abusive rulers...
