It is not a fairy tale to those who choose to follow the teachings of Christ. Unfortunately people sometimes use religion for their own gains. They twist the words to their own benefit.
Did anyone have the temerity to question the pastor to ask the scum to be “merciful?!”
I’m an atheist and watching that brave woman talking to the scum like that made me so angry! She humbled herself, and “prayed to him” asking for mercy as if IT was some sort of deity. He’s not a god! He’s scum!
"How terrible it will be for those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness" (Isaiah 5:20)
MAGA backlash to a preacher exhorting Trump to show mercy and compassion - core teachings of the gospel - shows how far from grace they have fallen.
Yup. The Christian Nationalsts see Trump as their "King David", who will bring them into a golden age... He's more like a King Ahab... weak, easily led by his appetites, with a vicious streak that will lash out when insulted, and lead the country into an age of idolatry and famine.
I'm a nordic animist. Not even my kids really know because I don't bother them with it. It also stays out of my politics, job, the doctor's office, and in short: it stays with me. It's my responsibility not to bother other people with it.
Real religion and real faith, you know it when you see it. We are known by our works and tRump, his cult and the sycophantic Republicans, have been working my last nerve for over a decade now. Let’s make this their last four years in power. We can do it.
Hello did you lost your crypto to scammers on the internet ?. Or did
you fall victim of investment scams and you need your money/crypto to
be recovered back to you
The faces these MAGAts made when confronted by the Bishop. #FOTUS and his mail order bride looking disgusted at Jesus teachings? WTF? I’m not a Christian and I understood the message . 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
For a so called "christian" family, they look like NOTHING being said is making a lick of sense to them. And the MAGAte sheep base thinks these idiots are "chosen by God".
That’s the irony of the whole “chosen by God” Godly or whatever the MAGAts claim the felon is, he’s the farthest from that, I don’t get where they get that from. It’s blasphemous ! 🤔
Satan himself wants nothing to do with this pack of idiots. I pretty sure that might be one reason why the last M.I. in a Big Mac box has not kicked in sparing us all the trauma of the next two years.
I think they understand everything being said. I think they’re just dumbfounded that anyone would speak to them that way!!! They certainly don’t understand why anyone would call them to be merciful or anything like that!! But they know what she’s saying.
What about love thy neighbor as thyself? That was Jesus answer to the greatest commandment. Love is central to the law. That’s why even if you are atheist or agnostic, we are moralistic because in our core is love.
There should not be any Christianity in our government. No religion. None. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Nada! That is what started this whole mess in the first place.
Trump is no christian when you consider his deeds. Leave my mother out of it.
And indeed, many christians have no idea what’s actually in the book they claim to base their life upon.
Luke 14:26 is Paul’s words?
You better have a talk with publishers. Those words are red in most bibles.
And if it was Paul, he was wrong? So there are lies in your Bible? Are you the expert in the real vs fake parts?
When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
Brennan Manning said, "The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."
"Defend the defenseless, the fatherless and the forgotten, the disenfranchised and the destitute.
Your duty is to deliver the poor and the powerless; liberate them from the grasp of the wicked.
-Psalms 82:3-4 TPT
Christianity: Sacrifice your all your worldly goods, your blood and body for the sake of others without the thought of worldly reward. ( The path is Narrow and if you own things, you are not on it)
I'm agnostic. And the only walkers w/Jesus I knew are dead. There was a rapture.....Jimmy Carter died.
If I won big $$$$. I want to invest in a bunch of sex dolls and helium. Fill and release. Drop sex clothes where they take off. Like Easter morning for their morning service. Who's with me?
"Christianity? That's that thing I do to get some of the rubes to vote for me, isn't it? You're saying I have to believe stuff as well? And DO things? That doesn't sound like a good deal to me."
I'm not a Christian, but I grew up raised in a Christian household. If you think this is wrong, you should read the bible. Speaking truth to power is like a big theme in there. If I remember right, the powerful getting angry at the Christians and punishing them for it didn't ever go well.
The teachings of Jesus Christ are that you should meet someone's needs. This should not be considered a burden to you. By helping others, you are helping them meet their needs more fully.😍🥰
Speaking truth to power along with empathy and compassion are the foundations of any religion or way of life and thought. To try to be the best human being one possibly can.
The article is very good, I recommend donating or supporting him if you found the read helpful or insightful and you can. Everyone needs the knowledge though, so I thought I should share
This is why Gen Z is leaving religion. It’s kind of sad. The youth of today is walking away from religion. The Boomer’s killed religion. They twisted it into a weapon.
And ˹remember˺ when the angels said,
“O Mary, indeed God has selected you, purified you, and chosen you over all women of the worlds.
O Mary, be devout to your Lord, prostrate yourself ˹in prayer˺ and bow along with those who bow down.”
(Quran 3:42-43)
I'm getting sick of hearing this. Yes it's true some gen Z males swung right due to years of concentrated propaganda targeting men. It's also true that gen Z voted for Harris at higher rates than any other generation.
In the face that trump has taken away Black History Month. That has proclaimed there are only 2 genders. Will deport anyone that looks Mexican. That is allowing settlers to take over the West Bank. How do they feel now?
But my comment had nothing to do with voting. It’s about religion. Church and Culture has an article about the decline in church attendance. About 7% between 2015 and 2020. Pew Research article, In U.S. Decline of Christianity Continues at Rapid Pace.
I don’t just blame Gen Z males. Muslims angry about Gaza. Fooled by trump’s promise. Black’s and Hispanic’s are also to blame. How about all those LGBTQ for trump?
Be joyous that they’re walking away from religion! Religion is behind a lot of issues in history and into today. It’s found that atheists have more compassion and morals than the average religious person anyways.
And the lack of morel consequence will be the undoing of the west, we had religion for a reason, im not religious, but I do believe there will be some sort of judgement on how I behave, and I do fear that judgement and subsequently reign in my human neurosis.
Atheists are found to be more compassionate and moral than your average religious people. The “lack of moral consequence” is what Christianity seems to be teaching these days. I find it to be a very relieving fact that generations are moving away from religion.
I dont get the folk who take umbrage with religion, in my 42 years iv never had anyone push religion on me, nobody religious has ever shown me anything but kindness, but i guess if you've had a bad experience then it's personal. No religion at all I think will lower our morals in place of more greed
I’m an Indigenous. I live with the creed, all are related. That doesn’t mean I have tolerate the bigotry that is taking over my world. I’ve sent my children to live with my retired parents in Mexico. A country learning to let go of their xenophobia. I don’t want them subjected to trump’s hate.
Yeah iv heard that lots times on line.. yawn. If you look at the entire span of human existence, we've always struggled morally, every one of us is capable of good and bad, and now there is no religion at all, we only need to veer 1 degree of course to be a million miles away by the next generation
Yes, but--as I said above--so have political ideologies from the extreme left to the extreme right. I'm not a "center" and "moderate" anything, but extreme political ideologies scare me as much as twisted beliefs. Both have terrible track records.
It's to tell you that I already explained in a previous post what I'm trying to tell you. It's on my feed/answers to posts. Sorry if Bluesky doesn't work that way and you can't read my previous posts. I've never been part of Twitter and even less X, so I'm not sure how it all works. I'm learning.
Gen Z is swimming in an ocean of misinformation. From the left and from the right. They were duped by con woman Jill Stein. Using The Green Party ticket to undermine Kamala Harris. Trump’s lawyers even fought to get her on the ballot in battleground states.
Isn't that maddening? They say they're for the environment, but they sabotage a party that at least tries to address climate change, and instead they bring to power a party that doesn't believe or care that we're destroying our environment, and ourselves in the process. Total dissonance!
If you’re lecturing me as a non-Christian about what Christianity is supposed to do or be, then you’ve totally misunderstood what Christianity is. It’s not a wishlist for non-believers. Go lecture a Satanist about how they’re not worshipping Satan enough or something.
Said it in another post but gonna say it again here
They don't misunderstand anything about me. They blatantly ignore it every day while trying to wrap themselves in the book they spit on so they can feel untouchable and justified.
No they haven't lol. If you think modern religions are anything but a tool for control and oppression then you're the one who misunderstood the book you read.
The earliest historical records are less than 6000 years old, so it's been here for more than one-third of that. Most people use "modern" to mean "current or recent", so maybe look for a better word?
The religion also technically existed long before the emperor constantine converted, but I attribute that event as the start of widespread adoption of the cult. Theoretically the origional Dead Sea Scrolls that the bible is based on are carbon dated to go back to the third century BCE
Not a christian, and actively believe it to be a death cult that brainwashes people, but it is factualy incorrect to call it a modern religion. The modern era officially began in 1500 C.E, the roman emperor Constantine converted to christianity in 312 CE.
Because at least it was innocent back when stupid humans were just anthropologizing the wind and the dawn and luck and shit. Monotheism is a corruption. A flaw. It's unnatural and evil.
Rtump is a thin skinned neo-Nazi narcissistic. Next thing we will see is the arrest of anyone who disagrees with him. And we all know where that will lead. It’s happened before. God help us all.
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple"
Or they took his words seriously. Hard to tell right? That’s what an all knowing all powerful god does. Create confusion.
Your worldly statement indicates you don't speak truth. There is only one Jesus Christ and his path is love and truth. The world's path is a flawed diamond only pretty on the surface. Man is enamored with worldly things. Those loving Christ love others, that's how we know who is Christian
So you pick out an out of context verse from a parable. Do you not know Christ was speaking of worldliness and worldly things? Of how unfaithful servants are treated? Even the world metes out justice upon the slackerd.
Woe more unto you for abusing the truth. Jesus knows your wickedness
She basically did in their minds. She called attention to how unchristlike they are, how morally corrupt they are, etc to their ultra traditional base. It’s all a facade for every one of them. Rupturing his facade will always draw ire. He’s a narc. She did it right to their faces too and they
can’t stand not being feared. They know she’s right, too. Trump knows that the “beloved” facade he’s created is mostly fake, and the authentic bits are excused. All authoritarians must maintain their extremely fragile image
His dumbass doesn’t know a thing about the words or belief in Jesus Christ That’s another griff he uses to con the Evangelicals and the rest of his base to follow him False hope lies distractions all in the name of Jesus who he knows nothing about or follows
Maybe now the dumb and ignorant American "Christians" that see the criminal as their "Orange God" start to understand that their "Messiah" is basicaly a scam and doesn't even follow the most basic Christian values... But the indoctrination makes them forget about that and accept anything Trump does.
"This song was written in New York City
Of rich man, preacher, and slave
If Jesus was to preach what He preached in Galilee,
They would lay poor Jesus in His grave."
Unfortunately, my wife is one of those Christians. She has fully fallen prey to the manipulation of algorithms, and literally parrots the talking points of the hard-core Trump supporters and far, far, right. We fight about it constantly, but the manipulation is very strong.
She already separates her self from that aspect of the moment. But she is firmly against transgender, she says the Bible says it's an abomination. By focusing on this singular aspect, she buys into the trump movement in a big picture sort of way.
That's the thing, though.
She CAN'T separate herself from that aspect of the movement because it's still part of the movement she's supporting.
No offense at all is intended, but she has to realize whether she likes it or not she's giving them the support they need to march/salute in public.
These people don't believe in Jesus Christ or his teachings. They believe in hatred. They use that book to justify their hatred and ignore anything they find inconvenient
Quick question, I’m not American
I don’t know much about the whole process to become the president other than the election
Is it required that he puts his hand on the bible?
I’m guessing not considering he was still allowed to get to the White House but I’m still curious
https://Goodsuniteus.com If these companies values don't align with yours FINANCIAL BOYCOTTS!!! LET THEM KNOW WHY THEY DON'T DESERVE YOUR MONEY. This REPUBLICAN REGIME knows nothing but money. 10% of America owns 90% of wall street. We can do this!!
I am militantly anti-organised religion but were I a religious man I would consider Trump the antichrist and his lackeys nothing short of demonic. These people only use the name of religion for their own gain and to deceive others... they are not religious. Sadly this is far from unique in society.
If I read the Bible correctly, Donald is in a world of trouble with GOD. Although I doubt Trump is a believer. He just uses Christianity as another dupe on his birdbrained idolators. God forgive me, I cannot help myself because of this vile hate spewing liar. 🙃
I can’t really blame them though- The Apostle Paul, who by the way was *not* a disciple or even contemporary of JC, was a radicalized convert. He was almost definitely a closeted 🌈 . He wrote a big chunk of the NT and it is HIS WORDS that modern Christians follow.
He’s the guy who says that women shouldn’t be allowed to even speak in church. He advocates for celibacy and includes homosexuality as a sin in several of his rants. He also mentions gluttony but the modern Christians don’t seem to care about that one as much.
He never sat and listened to Jesus preach. He never had 1:1 conversations with him. Everything he knew about Jesus was from the oral history of his followers. He was a professional Christian murderer before he had a supernatural experience that converted him on the spot.
The actual plot of Christianity is still deeply patriarchal and is a template for coercive control and psychological abuse. There isn’t a good way to be a Christian.
The good way is to under that, while Scripture can inform us, it is not to be understood literally. It is to be understood as documents written by fallible human beings in a certain time and place, to specific audiences, in certain genres known to those authors and audiences. Editors saved specific
Texts, discarding others. The good way embraces a scholarly view of the works. The good way to live as a Christian is mindful, with compassion & gratitude in a community of those who hope for and work for a world in which all people live in peace and justice. The good way includes being
BINGO. Saul of Tarsus was a Pharisee who hated Christianity. Then one day he announces that God appeared to him, and he's THE authority on Christianity now. He goes on to contradict Jesus and add a lot of bullshit that Evangelicals think God told him to say. Trump is basically Saul all over again.
Yep. He was a doomsday cult leader. He advocated for celibacy because he thought the end was so near that it was a pointless waste of time and energy when the *only* thing that mattered, according to him, was getting more people into the cult.
I’m offended by her using the name of our Lord & Savior to ambush,attack,embarrass,& promote a woke/Leftist agenda.
She’s asking for compassion for people who’ve broken the law, where’s it for Laken Riley,Jocelyn Nungaray?None for true victims,it doesn’t fit her narrative.not very Christian of her!
Dude, you don't want to go there. The most powerless people in the world are babies that survive a botched abortion. And your party says: "Senate Democrats Block Legislation To Save Lives Of Babies Who Survive Botched Abortions."
Dude you need to research. Bush signed into law in Aug 2002 bipartisan legislation “Born Alive Infant Protection Act “ which states : every child born alive is considered a person under Federal law and entitled to same protections.
VA Governor Northrup in 2019: The baby would be “resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue” between doctors and the mother. Nobody is gonna ask the baby.
The 2002 law did not mandate medical aid; the baby could be "allowed to pass". The bill voted against by the Democrats this year would have made that lack of medical care to be treated criminally.
You do realize that critically ill , dying patients can select hospice care, people can choose not to do chemo etc. Yes, a parent can choose to let a child be unplugged if either no brain/heart function. So yes palliative care & allowing to go back to God is often most merciful loving thing to do
If the baby born had no brain, stem or spine (which has happened ) you do realize that modern medicine could sustain that life on machines forever. Would you think that’s appropriate? How much suffering for the baby, the parents, families should endure. Could you afford to pay those costs?
it is not the Christianity many of US were borught up on. have been a catholic all of my life.this is not christiantiy any more. it is a pseudo-religion broken up into cults.they all claim to follow the teaching of jesus.but THERE interpetation even when you can how texts of how they are wrong.
The whole point of Jesus is his suffering, not his teaching. Focusing on his teaching was firmly rejected as heresy in the 3rd century. Surely we don't need to go through that again?
Yeah, sure. Is not like he have some kind of divine authority in what he was saying isn't it? Let's follow some random humans saying that we don't need to follow his teachings besides the fact that he pointed them out as priority.
And the orange SACK OF SHĪT, said afterward he didn’t like the sermon.
And some CSing MAGA politician said she should be deported.
Both those animals should be buried alive in a pit of chicken shīt.
Reminds me of a scene I saw in some old movie but I can't recall which one. The local rich guy, lord of the manor, whatever, went to a church where the priest was discussing the poor, charity, camels and eyes of needles, that sort, and the rich fellow emerged livid, determined to find a new priest.
It isn't an automatic absolution. There has to be contrition and atonement. Just confessing, ceasing to worry about it and planning to do it again isn't enough.
That's not what I was taught. If you accept Jesus, he takes your sin and absolves you. Sorry that doesn't fit your narrative, but that's what your peeps are selling.
You can't just accept Christ, you have to take up your cross and follow him. Being a Christian isn't a one and done thing, its meant to be an entire change of lifestyle and a life-long denial of the self for the sake of others.
It would be a problem, but you are in fact mistaken. It just so happens that most self-proclaimed Christians are using the title performatively rather than embodying what it means to be one.
The idea of Christianity is not that you can just do wrong and repent for it later, over and over. From what I know about the religion itself, the intent is to embody a good moral code and, in the instance you do wrong, repent and actually change for the better, even if few people actually do...
That may be the INTENT, but what I was taught is that Jesus absolves your sins. The expectation may be that you live your life morally, but it is by NO means a requirement.
Wait, really? Huh, guess I didn't know as much as I thought about it. But hold on, if that's the case, then what would be the purpose of teaching what's right and what's wrong?
Read Army Talk #64 from 1945. It's on the Army website. It matches what the GQP has been pushing. Kitchen, children and church was a Nazi propaganda they started with. Sound familiar.
Hey, im from germany and tbh it started with the newspaper. It was either banned or fake news were widely spread. Also sounds familiar with social media?
Last night right after Hegseth was approved T fired almost all of the Inspector Generals, they are calling it the Midnight Massacre. These were Trump appointments from his last administration. Kristallnacht 2.0
And he is going to be sued for that too. He had to give them weeks notice and reasons why they are fired, which from what I heard today he negated to do. Just more fodder for impeachment and possibly more. He also can't write a memo to negate the constitution like he did try with 14th amendment .
To "misunderstand" you would have at least attempted to have learned them....we all know Trump has never tried. He's never cracked a Bible for anything more than propaganda.
God is love. It's not difficult. Admit it you have no plans abt ending this war? You must admit that you're lying when you said you'd put tariffs on Putin. Tell China to quit buying RUSSIAN OIL? You must continue to support UKRAINE? It's so crucial we can't Make Ukraine lose.
Not at all. Like any human, religious types fake it, lie to others, to themselves, to God. Scripture doesn't vindicate these people it repudiates them! They just ignore correction like any worldly person.
There are not contradictions. Part of you issue is taking out of context and replacement theology projecting OT upon Christ's teaching when it's incorrect.
Apostles stories don’t match. Stories written 100 to 200 years after his so called death.
No written record of dead people coming to life and roaming the world when he return.
Christ never existed.
The miracles stories were written about to Ceasers before he was even created. Word for word.
His family tree doesn’t align in the Bible and doesn’t fullfill prophecy by years.
He wasn’t perfect and spitfull destroyed a tree cause huangry!!!
Actually the ten commandments state kill the first born girl.
Exodus 34 11:28
The only 10 commandments in the bible. Christians will lose there ish if churches read them… cause adultery is cool.

Again, Paul never actually met the guy he yammers on about. He didn’t convert until Jesus had been dead for 1-3 years.
There are no records of his teachings to consult— the gospels didn’t even exist yet. You just start writing what you think the cult leader meant.

"Mr. President, I know Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is a friend of mine. Mr. President, you're no Jesus Christ."
Christianity allows you to become better through repentance and be forgiven through becoming a better person.
Forgiveness is not free, it must be paid for by self sacrifice and the death of the person you once were.
If this is what those evangelical snake oil salesmen are teaching folks these days, shits worse than I previously imagined.
You can't just accept Christ, you have to take up your cross and follow him. Being a Christian isn't a one and done thing, its meant to be an entire change of lifestyle and a life-long denial of the self for the sake of others.
