My Republican family has gone to Haiti for years and years with their churches yet they're silent about the GOP has now done to those poor souls. It's just disgusting and utterly un-Christian what they're doing.

sadieheartsclyde.bsky.social•19 hours ago

That’s what organized religion is about. Power. They want the control and power over people. They make people pray before they will give them food and medicine. They do it right here in this country too. In my town the church captured the distribution of WIC

If you cure poverty people don't need charity systems uphold poverty so people have to be beholden to the powers that be.

Do missionaries care if the people are hungry or sick? Isn't missionary work about conversion? Bringing the word of their god to people? telling the suffering people that this is their God's way to heaven? They won't suffer in heaven as long as they accept their lord and savior?

Jesus wouldn’t like many (most?) people in power (especially billionaires). He told people to do good things for others, especially the poor, not to take away from the poor and hoard.

The ideology that originates with the notion that if a woman had sex she would be unclean? The entire religion is based on misogyny.

jeanniet.bsky.social•18 hours ago

The entire religion is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The main and most important teaching was to love and care for one another. Christians do not pay attention to their own teachings. Christians made me an atheist. All religions are misogynistic!

thefabulouseric.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Missionaries are just free salesmen for the church. Their main objective is to get people to believe the nonsense and get the money coming in. The church only cares about money. They proved that by endorsing Trump over and over. His god is money, so is theirs.

Missionary love is largely conditional as far as I can tell. They will provide care and comfort in exchange for conversion and cultural erasure. My view was reinforced by the book "We Will Be Jaguars" by Nemonte Nenquimo. I highly recommend it! https://bookshop.org/p/books/we-will-not-be-saved-a-memoir-nemonte-nenquimo/20351473?ean=9781419763779&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoJC-BhCSARIsAPhdfSjMYi3Z5YwyaGFyel7i9-r8CLyV0yr7Gp_1qUwZVG7TC_z9sVX84EYaAvmmEALw_wcB

You will know them by their fruits. Most of those “missionary” trips are so they can pat themselves on the back and say they did their “Christian” duty. Not all are like that, for sure, but a lot of them are.

I wrote my thesis for my religious studies degree about this very thing. I wrote it in 2012, but found it yesterday to see how much of what I discussed was playing out in the current regime.
They have been perverting Christianity into what it’s not so they can do exactly this. Ugh.

They prayed for this. Because when the US actually sends food and Jesus just watches kids starve it pulls people away from the church. Dead and starving kids are good for the soul selling business.

When people are desperate they move to religion to save them, pulling aid, is the plan, convert more people by making them desperate. Evangelical Christian belief is a doom cult.

I’m making tracts. For evangelicals.

jdr1992.bsky.social•11 hours ago

The problem is the Constantinian shift; when Rome officially adopted Christianity and Roman imperial values were injected into it. Then the King James Bible was translated with an absolute royalist bias, which made things worse. So evangelicals are obsessed with nationalism, not actual Christianity.

Religion is a man-made tool created by the elite to control the masses. It is through this subjugation that religious victims tend to be too afraid to question the hypocrisy that telegraphs through every single facet of their daily lives.
