That’s because they now practise a bastardised form of Christianity where it is ok for the strong to prey on the weak, wealth is good, and those who suffer misfortune of any kind have brought it upon themselves (and so deserve it).
organized religions have always incited ignorance, fear and hatred for those outside the particular Hate Club they hide in. CON-servatives have amped up their vitriol and fear-generating rhetoric to fever pitch to keep the ignorant and fearful under their CON-trol. to the detriment of all of us
WASPs are pseudo christians at best. Its like a bunch of hateful scumbags just took the bible and used it as a tool to claim they have divine authority to oppress people they dont like
Most Christians stopped reading the Bible after “let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
How many people have suffered in Jesus's name? God's name? Skewing the words in the bible (& other religious texts) is nothing new. Sadly the human ego can warp & weaponize the words of spiritual teachings. Getting the wounded ego out of the way has been & will remain the biggest challenge to humans
In the United States, many people have started using the word "Christian" as shorthand for a hateful right wing ideology that has nothing to do with the teachings of Christ. They have attached themselves to it to shield themselves from criticism.
A lot of those folks are Evangelicals whose grandparents railed against JFK and said that the Pope was the Antichrist and that Catholics worshipped idols.
Christianity based on removing personal responsibility.
As long as you show up on Sunday, bless the collection plate with cash, six days a week can be spent in sin.
Until Leo XIV follows the admonition of Matthew 19:21, he's not following his claimed savior...
-- Jesus said to him, “If you want to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
That’s because these so-called Christians are not Christians. They don’t follow Christ. They follow Donald Trump and his hatred and bigotry. They are not Christian.
The people who are doing that are all lower Protestant and hate the Catholic church. They're using the pope as the representation of the church to hate it.
Well even if you're not Catholic this just shows you Exactly WHO white Evangelical nationalist Christians really THEY are Not of God
THEIR Hateful Bigoted Racist people
Who are just using God's name for their own Agenda
I'm never sure that religion does anything for peace when so many wars are based on 1 religion even sect saying it's better than another & waging war based on saying their God is the only true one.
Substitute "Trump" for "Christian" & you'll have reality.
The MAGA cult is constantly confusing Trump with Jesus of Nazareth. They probably think that increases his/their power & validity.
Song of the Day 5/9/25
It’s A Hard Life Wherever You Go
And I'm thinking this man wears a white hood
In the night when his children should sleep
But, they slip to their window and they see him
And they think that white hood's all they need
They rolled their eyes & virulently complained when the Episcopalian Bishop Budde said the exact same thing.
Which is evidence the MAGA “Christians” who follow the prosperity doctrine are not true followers of Christ.
The word Christian is only used as a shield to excuse abominable behavior claiming it's doctrine, no proof is demanded though we've all had xtian doctrine shoved down our throats since childhood and know it isn't.
But you can't criticize bc then it's "discrimination" against them, the real crime.
I’m agnostic maybe atheist these days but I was brought up in a devout catholic household.
Went to catholic schools for 13 years. I have to say the teachings of empathy, being charitable both financially & with others, kindness, critical thinking stuck with me despite the rigid dogma.
I went to a protestant church, really the only one in my family. I was sandwiched between Atheists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholics, Presbyterians, and Lutherans.
Explored a lot of churches, denominations, and various religions; none advocate for anything less than kindness to our fellow humans.
Still unsure, went to work in India & it triggered something in me. I kind of like the idea of reincarnation, very early Christians believed in it til around 500 AD when the church refuted it.
Certainly don’t believe in heaven or hell. However the idea trump coming back poor & disabled resonates
Their “Christian values” have no room and no tolerance for loving your neighbor, helping the needy, protecting those who cannot defend themselves, or anything else Jesus taught.
If they had been present when Pilate brought Jesus before the crowd, they would have shouted “Crucify Him!” the loudest.
Funny isn’t it- but Christians have secretly avoided the teachings of Christ for the values of TV evangelists. Catholics are the Nggers of Christianity. Nobody cares
The Pope the Trump Cult revere and worship is The Donal himself— they even posted a picture of him in his robes. Call it what it is a Kayfabe Kakistocracy.🤦🏻♂️🚩🚩🚩
They are Evangelicals who don't believe Catholics are actually Christians. I mean the whole CHRISTianity thing was started by Jesus and Peter, Matt 16:13-20, with Peter's confession.
The Jesus of the New Testament knew them and called them out by name. Matthew 7:21-23. I no longer church but these verses are among those that have stuck with me.
You have to understand, for a white to love a person of color is very low on the hierarchy of who to love, and not in keeping with Republican Christian values. Remember there are Christians, country Baptist Christians, catholic Christian and republican Christians oh, I forgot Evangelicals.
These are the same “Christians” that had to break off with the international denominations in the 19th century to form white supremacy and slavery focused “Southern” Baptist and Methodist groups. And they always thought the Pope was Satan - going way back to Martin Luther in the 16th century.
The Pope knows what God is saying ! But evil doesn’t like it they rather hate over love! All the Maggots and far right extremist are all EVIL we are hearing & seeing it, there’s no denying it! They try but it’s so obvious they are EVIL
Anyone can profess to be a Christian. Following the teachings of Jesus isn't the same thing. It's much harder.
They say that if someone "says" they're Christian they're a moral person.
That is empirically and demonstrably false.
Maybe they see the Pope as suggesting Catholic values that evangelicals and traditional Protestants don’t hold with. Remember that this country barred Catholics from Ireland, Italy and Eastern Europe from immigrating because they were Catholics.
Yeah, they are big mad that the pope called out their so-called second in command who had proposed that somehow we can rank who we love and by how much.
Can you be Christian sans Christ? Key teachings involved patience, tolerance, helping sinners & outcast & the poor & loving thy neighbour as yourself. He taught us to do unto others as we would have done unto us. How else explain the parables & beatitudes? Those who despise this are not Christians.
Following the teachings of Jesus is great and sadly too many who profess Christ are not following him at all. But, a follower of Jesus both acknowledges him as Savior and follows him and his teachings. It’s a both/and not an either/or.
Many don't even care about unborn. For many, abortion argument is about control over women's bodies & very little to do with when foetus is living entity. Claiming special authority from God gives them authority that they otherwise would not have & certainly do not deserve. Trick as old as time.
For so long far right churches have stolen Jesus' name for what is a fairly corrupt power grab by false emissaries, claiming authority from God but really unenlightened self-serving. No different from the Crusades, which were conducted without principle & without honour & certainly not of Christ.
They’re not hiding their racism, bigotry, misogyny, & hate anymore.
They’re proud of it & feel deeply entitled to continue to harm the vulnerable. If the church is to be any benefit to society it needs to be a beacon for good to these groups, rather than offer others a shelter for their hate.
Magats are about as "Christian" as the nazis. It's appalling how many people can delude themselves into thinking there's any commonality between a fascist movement and the Christ's message. We live in the DUMBEST of times.
That’s because they are not Christians. They do not follow the teachings of Christ and cannot support the beatitudes. These are flat earth people- love fire and brimstone, as long as it doesn’t affect their lifestyle/beliefs, including maltreatment of others. Ergo they never will be CHRISTIANS.
I feel sorry for them. All the hate consuming them when they could join in on the joy for this new pope. They hated Fauci and Biden and so many to their detriment

I'm attacking the new pope because of this. Doesn't really jive with his "love others" message. Not in the consensual way at least
THEIR Hateful Bigoted Racist people

If we poison our children with hatred
Then, the hard life is all that they'll know

I knew that a lot of people equate wealth (and health) to morality. I just never realized it had an official name.
If they had been present when Pilate brought Jesus before the crowd, they would have shouted “Crucify Him!” the loudest.
Just wow. I shouldn't be surprised, but Trump is Jesus now, so there you have it.
( I kid you not: some are on record, saying so).
Pope Leo XIV for POTUS!
They say that if someone "says" they're Christian they're a moral person.

Very few American Christians actually act like Christ. They only care about the unborn. They don’t give a fuck about living, breathing people.
Kennedy, MLK, so many
Besides, in the most conservative Christian religions the pope is the Antichrist and all Catholics will burn in hell.
Have a nice day.
They’re proud of it & feel deeply entitled to continue to harm the vulnerable. If the church is to be any benefit to society it needs to be a beacon for good to these groups, rather than offer others a shelter for their hate.

Hypocritical, judgmental, violent, divisive, misogynist, disgusting…it’s what they are…the behavior is not surprising
Clueless about Christ!
Face it, Jesus was an anti-fascist rebel!
