Trump also got outraged that an Episcopal bishop cited basic Christian values in a church service, while Musk slashed funds for a Lutheran social services program.

Trump and the GOP just gutted a major Catholic charity but apparently it’s liberals and Democrats who are anti-Christian and anti-Church

But he's going to eliminate anti Christian bias, right?

there are a few types of Christians, even a few types of Lutherans, we get to choose in our freedom of/from religion how we believe

We don’t impose our faith, we act our faith

He also attacked a Lutheran organization that runs the Medicare-funded senior living facility in South Dakota my mom lives at

Catholic Charities in Santa Rosa, CA received a notice their grant is frozen from DHS, signed by Noem on 2/4. The grant pays for citizenship classes for LEGAL immigrants.

Meanwhile, there have been no cuts to Franklin Graham's organization Samaritans Purse, which gets millions in funding from USAID. Some Christians are favored over others.

Who will the “Mump Regime” go after next?

Trump kept a copy of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed according to Ivana.

Trump is easily manipulated…and we can only guess who all has his ear.

All the non-evangelical Christians who voted for Trump are going to learn the reason for the Establishment Clause the hard way

Support for Christian’s, but only the denominations that we like or don’t say things we don’t like.

youngocato.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yeah, and yet the evangelical whites are still holding the line defending him.

scrapplebottom.bsky.social•16 days ago

Probably because they think their evangelism will be established as the state church

Cause they are living out their traumatic memory of losing the Civil War. Confederates longing for segregation again.

So are far too many Catholics.

kylora2112.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wait until you hear what evangelicals think of Catholics...

cycliszt.bsky.social•16 days ago

Good thing Trump won the Catholic vote.

amerikaisfucked.bsky.social•15 days ago

I actually am anti-christian and anti-church. And I’m also anti-trump!

Not to mention JD Vance criticizing Catholic bishops for acting as if "When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the native-born among you; you shall love the alien as yourself" were a direct command from God.

Do we know why they targeted Lutheran Social Services so early in The Purge? It seems like such a specific attack.

jellyfrog23.bsky.social•15 days ago

Mike Flynn tweeted about them first, I think. Said they were using "'religion' as a money laundering operation".

No idea why Mike Flynn hates Lutherans though. It's weird.

jellyfrog23.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh, and he put it in quotes — "the 'Lutheran' faith", like it's not a real church.

My guess is that they were getting over $600 million (from what I saw) and that made them a big target.

Trump’s a mange of gawd.

jillc.bsky.social•16 days ago

He got outraged over being called out for something he was absolutely planning to do.

Ironically, he signed an "anti-Christian bias" EO tonight.. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/politics/donald-trump-executive-orders-icc-anti-christian-bias/index.html

Did the Lutheran orgs ever confirm that their money was cut? Or was it more along the lines of Musk’s claim that he shut down direct file?

genejockey57.bsky.social•16 days ago

Seems like somebody should alert Bondi's Antichrist task force.

konjason.bsky.social•16 days ago

I would bet you 99% of the people in the Lutheran Church I grew up in voted for Trump. And didn't Trump say Biden was bad for Catholics?

Hard to find refugee settlement groups that don't have some kind of strong religious tie

onemoremile.bsky.social•16 days ago

Don’t forget that, earlier this week, Musk called Lutheran Social Services “criminal” and called for funding cuts.
