Also… who even decides what Christian sect is the true Christianity in a “Christian nation”? Is it the Southern Baptists? Catholics? Methodists? LDS? They haven’t told us the one true Christianity yet either.
I was reared Catholic, but the religion did not stick with me. However, I am a strong believer in the teachings of Jesus, especially, "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me".
I had a pastor asked me if I was afraid of him. I said no. I guess he was looking for someone that can't think for themselves. Oh hell no! I will ask questions. I'm the "why kid?" Why do I need to obey a stranger? One must use their heads to think for themselves.
NEVER FORGET 77 million DERANGED POORLY EDUCATED MISINFORMED BRAINWASHED EXTREMELY IGNORANT RACIST HOMOPHOBIC CHRISTIAN NOTZIS, & 67% of VETS VOTED FOR A CHILD πOLESTING ADJUDICATED €RAPIST TWICE IMPEACHED CON ARTIST CROOK & CRIMINAL WITH 34 FELONIES & SOLD NUCLEAR SECRETS TO SAUDIS FOR $2 BILLION 😡
Oh my god, literally!! Like, EVERY SINGLE evangelical church leader, televangelist, or tv/radio network CEO are corrupt multi-millionaires using prosperity gospel and fundamentalism to profit off the hard-earned money of their churchgoers!! SHAMEFUL!
christianity & christian nationalism are the very same thing. christian nationalism just pushed the envelope further towards fascism, that's all.
BOTH ARE TOTAL BULLSHIT. You seriously need to understand what "religion" is at its core:
"religion" is, FACTUALLY, a *SOCIO-POLITICAL IDEOLOGY [SPI]*
Also… pisses me off that we seem to have a fancy, expensive church on every corner, and homeless people on every corner as well. Makes me think if we invested all those tax dollars in people instead of pews, we would actually accomplish what Christians pretend they are doing for their god.
Lets not forget the first 4 commandments (that republicans want posted in every public school) are humanity's Obligation and Duty to god. The god of bible cares more about what humans can do for god than what god can do for humans.
Please know not all Christian religions are about punishment, not all are nationalistic. Raised in another faith with fear of God. Now Episcopalian, where it is a living God, welcoming to all, and truly about empathy and caring for your neighbor as you would yourself. Fellowship and community.
I am an atheist (grew up catholic) but don’t hate on the faithful. I think if people need faith for solace or community or a sense of being a part of something bigger than themselves, then great! But religion is a tool created by man- like all tools can be wielded for good or evil.
Not so. That's yte church. Black church is the Freedom of Christ theology. It's very important to approach religion in 'Merikka from a cultural lense bc everything HERE is based on systemic racism and oppression. #dobetter #dontytewash #myGodreigns #FreedominChrist
The deeply flawed “Christian Nationalist” agenda believes Jesus will appear again in full battle regalia, to conquer the forces of liberalism. In reality he would be appalled by the perversion of his ministry, “separating the wheat from the chaff and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Very good, now free will and choice were given to humanity so that God could learn to trust them through their morality, obviously the entire Trump Administration has failed
Your morals are meaningless. What is right? Who decides that? You are living how you choose on this earth without thinking about what comes after. Christianity is not about control it is about choice and acceptance. We are all flawed so the argument that Christians do bad things is irrelevant.
Also please remember this framing is mostly Christian. The majority of other major religions, don't use a "hell" to scare you into obedience. Reincarnation is the norm in religions worldwide. Even Christianity originally followed that tenent, until a roman emperor and pope added hell.

Don’t see that changing anytime soon.
He said,' I'll see you in heaven'
And I said,' nope, I'm not going'
I’m looking at YOU #DaystarNetwork

The problem arises bc religion does not allow us to discern our own morality and it imposes said morality on others.
Work Hard
Fear God
And keep your bowels open
