Root cause: they decided that god must love rich people, (that’s why they’re rich) and poor people must be lazy or bad (because otherwise god would make them rich).
Just be a good person for the benefit of persons in a weaker position than yourself.
Principles taken out of the majority of different mythologies and religions know right from wrong.
The evangelicals sold their souls to the devil when they decided to back tfg & the Republicans. Christian nationalism is not authentic Christianity by any means. They would crucify him again as a woke, socialist, libtard if he walked among us today.
They cherry pick passages from the Bible. Republican "Christians" went to church this morning with hate in their hearts, with blood on their hands from the stoppage of USAID, persecuting trans folks and designating white men as the most important people in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
I thought the US separated church and state in your constitution? You seem to have been on a slippery slope since you introduced the word God into things. It might have been better had you introduced the Spirit into things.
My observation is that many Americans hold all Christians responsible for the US Evangelicals, and that is morphing into an anti-Christian/Ant-religion movement.
Then it behooves "all Christians" to speak up and out when U.S. evangelicals get too cocky and Medieval while judging and hating on others.
Mainstream U.S. Christians by and large cut their Evangelical brethren far, far too much slack to complain about spiritual blowback.
As much as the MAGA-Christians disgust me, I do not see that mainstream Christians are somehow more responsible than anyone one else. There is no requirement to have only one official version of Christianity just as there is no one version of Islam of Judaism.
All Christians are not like MAGA-Christians. Some of them were busy working soup kitchens, visiting the sick,... Their religion does not mandate them to convert other Christians to conform to their own understanding.
Those who voted for this are responsible, regardless of their Christian flavor. One has to wonder how they consider themselves christ-like while championing clear evil. Perhaps not more responsible but still FULLY responsible.
The people who actually voted for it/campaigned for it are responsible. T showed his true colors and now some of them are crying as they family member are deported...and their benefits are cutoff, etc.
Holy books of whatever brand are all tools of manipulation.
Decide what horrors you want to inflict, cherrypick some quotes from your favourite "holy" book that could be twisted to support your idea, then tell the faithful that it's "God's will", & they will do the killing for you.
Ask Israel.
Americans— Really?? WHO IS ATTACKING AMERICANS RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS —TRUMP/GOPs!! WHO IS DESTROYING —THE CONSTITUTION OF AMERICA’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC

I read your message above and turned and read it out loud to my wife, saying "I don't know who #JohnPavlovitz is, but I agree with him". Then I scrolled back up and saw your name. I could be wrong, but I think that was a compliment; at least I hope so. 🤔
Every single U.S. president has been Christian, and our Supreme Court is nearly exclusively Christian—despite Christians making up only two-thirds of the population. Anti-Christian bias? Some people are desperate to feel persecuted.
Please don't just share on this forum. Tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
Those on the left aren’t perfect, but they do more, even if they don’t mean to, to live as Jesus intended by caring about others, by adhering to the philosophy of ‘live and let live’, and by living to help those less fortunate than themselves. The religious right should look in the mirror.
A passing familiarity with Jesus most well-known messages puts MAGA hypocrisy in stark relief;
Blessed be the meek
Judge not
Turn the other cheek
Love thine enemy
Pray in the closet
Do unto others
The rich will not ascend to the kingdom of heaven
MAGA and evangelicals score zero.
You might be a little wrong in that. I hate religion, I hate any teaching of Jesus, I don’t believe any child to be told anything about religion about Jesus in schools, or at home until the age of 18 because it poisons their mind they are not old enough to understand. They are put into a cult.
Morality came before religion. Tribes they didn’t know nothing about religion taught morality long before religion ever came. Lee religion out of children’s minds it’s poison.
You didn’t read the entire Bible did you? Did you read the Old Testament by happenstance? Do you understand that the God that you worship killed off his entire population that he’s so-called created several times. Jesus don’t let nobody by himself and he’s a figment of people’s imagination.
Revelations is what they're trying to Replicate just now, with all the turmoil, wars, false religions, false money etc, God is in control bringing it all down.
I read the Bible many times, God's Word is in Parables, the Stories are False, with hidden meanings, learn the Word of God & you know God. Quickest way, is learn Christ's Teaching's, learn them & you know God. Your Body is a Temple to God, so look after it.
My name is Temple, I was named after it. I know that Bible front to back back to front. I’ve studied it. It’s words it’s it’s meanings and the teachings that it was trying to brainwash me with. I’m too smart for it. I was born with morals. Morality doesn’t need religion.
The Stories are False, God's stories have hidden meanings, learn how to decipher them, Like the Story of Solomon, it taught, it doesn't matter how Rich or Wise you become, you can always fall into sin.
Christ never taught that, the False Stories in the Bible, have meanings behind them, learn how to decipher the meanings, that's why Christ taught in parables, for you to learn Gods word. Not false stories. He who listen will hear, those who don't want to hear, don't want to know God.
Yes! “Love thy neighbor” to these people apparently does not extend to the poor, the elderly and children in AMERICA, or those helped by humanitarian aid in 130 countries or 2,000,000 suffering Palestinians in GAZA. JOIN THE RESISTANCE NOW.
Its so weird that the people ranting the most about the destruction of christianity are those doing it. The false version give people power and control over others and generate vasts revinues which are not taxed. I can see why some unscrupulous people might choose to do this.
They haven’t gotten past the Old Testament where God is happy to flood a world and start over. They are following a version of God that is very hateful.
To "get it" may require risking inclusion in the tribe. Lynchings were public in the south not just to reign terror on blacks, but as a reminder to the community at large what challenging the order meant.
These folks make a mockery of what Christ stands for. I don't speak for Him, naturally, but I've got a sneaking suspicion He'd probably tell them to knock it the fuck off, flip over some tables @ a clan meeting, & tell Muskmelon 'man cannot serve money & God.' Finally, He'd give all these asses a
They would be fine if they actually believed in Freedom of Religion. But they want everyone else to live the way they think their god wants. Despite the fact that they don’t live that way.
MAGAT family member who worships him. She's constantly in church & frequently quotes the Bible. When confronted about all the non Christian stuff he does she gets "offended". He can't do ANYTHING wrong. I asked her if any Dem would talk or act the way he does if it would be ok...... TOTAL SILENCE! 🤣
They might as well get rid of their bibles and stop calling themselves christians really. They wont though becaue they know its a great brainwashing tool to give them power over others and secure untaxed cash
Those evangelists, are mostly Zionists. Zionism, was, is & heading deeper into a white supremacist racist type movement. They're Christian, in that they want Jesus to return, & are trying the amplify the possibility by using every unChristian method possible.
They're a end times cult.
🤌🤌🤌perfect. I hate saying it is Christians even though they all use "Christian values" as their reasoning.
I know "good" Christians and what the Bible says... while i am an agnostic who is open minded... that ain't good christian.
Remember that good Christians didn’t say anything about the relationship between religion and government in the 80’s and 90’s because it served their interests. Only now that the Nazis are out front do they want to claim clean hands. They are complicit too. For decades.
A stretch of road in my community has many churches of many denominations. All but one had signs up that read, “Love thy neighbor.” Guess what one denomination did not? A Christian fundamentalist church of course.
Actually, I have one. I’m sick and tired of the control that Christianity - even the “good” variety - has in our government. All the swearings in, all the invocations and convocations, all the God bless Americas at the end of speeches, all the “prayer breakfasts” . . . I’m sick to death of it.
The “good” Christians sat back and watched as the Falwell Christians took over the government and did nothing. It suited them at the time. Now they want to separate themselves from the rest of them as if they were never complicit. They should have spoken up 40 years ago. They’re hypocrites too.
This is true.
The #GOP played footsie with every radical right movement since Joe McCarthy, Nixon and Goldwater. Thinking they could use them for votes and control them.
Until the Rad Right finally became the tail that wags the dog!
The bible is arguably the greatest work of fiction in history, but it is FICTION.
It is an indoctrination tool like all religious teachings on the planet , it is lies & best guess' AT THE VERY BEST.
relgions are cults & cons on the weak minded.
If you are in a religion you are in a cult
seek help.
It’s time we return our hearts to Christ. These oligarchs pretend to be Christian, but we see them. I think Christ will gladly welcome us in his arms. We need his peace through this.
Which is why the most Jesus-like are not likely to continue to call themselves Christian, given the hostile takeover of the religion by these Anti-Jesus types.
These Anti-Jesus 'Christians' are following a different Christ.
And how will that “anti-Christian bias” even be defined? Refusing to carry Trump bibles in schools? Simply being non-religious or belonging to a different religion? Standing up for the 1st amendment? Refusing to “pray for Trump’ in schools?
It's tragic, they are hurting senior living centers, foster children, there are so many services, Lutheran Social Services performs. And you would not know you were receiving a service from a religious affiliated agency. They don't do it to shove religion on people.
Musk was a total asshole.
I looked at that catholic BS dinner in New York and it was nothing more than an episode of the Sopranos. Religion on the highest pedestal. So just bail that crazy bastard to the cross
Christian Nationalism is derived from Biblical Misogyny. It is about suggesting that only certain men know all and see all. That these men have the right to demand that they should speak, for all of us.
That the average person needs someone to do their thinking for them, especially women. It is about demanding that women are supposed to be subordinate to men. Simply because men want to believe the Bible says so.
That's not Christ led understanding of scripture. Misogyny isn't part of Jesus Christ's ministry or his apostles. It's poor understanding out of context which make use in this manner.
Why is it Republicans want to have a Christian base society when things like this are in the Bible
Psalms 137:9 New International Version (NIV)
Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.
I don’t mean to offend anyone, but I’m not a Christian, I don’t believe in the Bible and what it says. To me, it’s just a fairytale. Nothing has caused more misery and deaths than religion.
I disagree with you. Mass slaughtering of people that don’t have the same faith has gone on for thousands of years. Exclusion of people that don’t follow the same faith has happened for thousands of years. Suppression of science, there’s a reason why there’s a separation of church in state.
You need to go back and reread what I said, because I don't think you understood me.
For the record, I'm a very strong believer in the separation of church and state. As were the religious leaders during the founding of the United States, and with good reason.
It’s crazy to me that this is even being discussed as a thing because, as a Christian, I haven’t been made to feel this in any way at all!!! Honestly, I think folks are so about the “whataboutism” that they are seeing ghosts where there aren’t any
True that. I was once told by an Evangelical that they loved church, because they could do whatever they wanted to during the week, then take Communion, and all their bad deeds were magically erased! Then they'd start all over again. Never changing their behavior.
True. Excerpts ftom Matthew 5: 1-11, known as The Beatitudes.
‘Blessed are the meek...
‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…
‘Blessed are the merciful…
‘Blessed are the peacemakers…
‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake… http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=92663276
There’s Been Anti-Jesus Everything, Amongst All Sorts Of Professed Christians Throughout History! It’s Been A Horror Story Of An Organized Religion For Thousands Of Years! Period! Sorry, Pastor. But This Has Been A Soap Box Topic Of Mine For Many Years!
Churches have the most Child Sex Abuse Survivors of 82,209 in @boyscouts $2.46 Billion bankruptcy. Pastors & priests use the fear of god & hell to exploit children to where they don’t report for decades if ever! https://SurvivingScouting.org
Hell yes! My gay daughter is a PA in an emergency department. She will treat whomever needs help with dignity despite their race and/or political leaning. I am so proud of her!
No, I’d say there’s both. There wouldn’t be if Christians acted like Christ but instead they are seen as being some of the most hateful people in our country. It’s hard not to have bias against people who treat you poorly.
Many Christians see Old Testament as providing historical perspective only, but it does seem like the more conservative sects revere the OT. They pick and choose what they like so the woman is to submit, but they don't observe Passover or marry their brother's widow.
We are asking the @chiefs.bsky.social and @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social to take a knee during the National Anthem to make a statement to the Felon in attendance, that we do NOT support his decapitation of the Gov and our rights and that Mysk must go. Footballers support a lot of kids charities.
I dunno. I think we need a new name for those of us who actually respect the teachings of Jesus. “Christian” is not cutting it for me anymore. I’m out.
Just remember; salvation is guaranteed. If you call the number on the screen below and donate money. Together we can force Trump to bring about a nuclear rapture
Religion has ruined so much. It took me entirely too long to realize that God and religion are not the same thing. Once I did, my animosity towards God vanished.
Same!! My sister a Christian always tells me, “ you will regret not having a relationship with God” because I don’t go to court. How do they know what kind of relationship with God I have!!
Fuck religion, and leave it out of politics where it has no place! The fools who voted Trump in based on religious issues/beliefs are as bone-headed as they come. The only religion Trump and his ‘inside criminals’ have is to feather their own nests and nothing more!!
I have never been more anti-Christian and anti-Jesus than I am now. American Christianity is a curse on the American people and put a monster in the White House.
What truly bothers me is these Christians are pissed off because we see their hypocrisy. We see their anti-Jesus flavoring to everything that they’re doing and they’re mad because we see it and then when we call him out on it that’s not what we saw. I’m sick of these people.
And that is the appropriate word to use is blaspheming. They have perverted the word of God to protect pedophiles and thieves to protect the worst parts of our society. They have perverted the Bible. The word of God was to bring empathy, not hatred
And lately I’ve heard more atheist talking like true Christians then these fake Christians talking like Jesus they don’t even know what Jesus is they lost all their humanity all their empathy all their compassion and when all that’s gone, what’s left Donald Trump
Sad but true. If your pastor/church/congregation voted to support the #TinfoilTyrant, you need to realize this: Jesus would be flipping your table, but sitting at it.
Thank God I have too much to do to try and untangle the meaning behind those words. Kudos on packing the most description into the fewest words though!! I'm sure it's probably an appropriate label!!🤣
The evangelicals focused on the end times say the US does not exist in the end times prophecy of the Bible. They believe they can help create the conditions for the rapture and Christ’s return by destroying the US. They will rejoice if America falls.
Maybe that, but I think they're more preoccupied with artificially propping up Israel. Armageddon feels a lot less plausible if a few key criteria aren't met. They think one of those criteria is Israel's control of Jerusalem.
The disgust with MAGA Christians has created hostility toward all Christians and religion. Some even assert it is the responsibility of non-MAGA Christians to instruct/convert MAGA Christians. Christianity is not homogonous though and there is no one version of it.
The evangelicals are pseudo-Christians, better known as Talibangelists or Christofascists. They are not about faith; just about power, money, and controlling others. Ever hear one quote the Beatitudes? Me, either. They only quote biblical verses about retribution, control, punishment, and violence.
"Anti-Christ". Call them out. Remember CPAC and their golden Trump statue? They're claiming the moral high ground while worshipping a false idol who calls himself "the chosen one".

It just comes across as a 'Hair Tonic' salesman at a 'bald people's convention' with mass hysteria.
Jesus had a message but some "Christians" don't want to hear it.
There's anti-American bias in U.S. Evangelical Christians.
Mainstream U.S. Christians by and large cut their Evangelical brethren far, far too much slack to complain about spiritual blowback.
"We're not all like this."

My bias comes from multiple people trying to trick me and convert me and cajole me and guilt me into believing.

Nothing has caused more misery and death than humanity. Any pretext will do, religion is just one of many.
For the record, I'm a very strong believer in the separation of church and state. As were the religious leaders during the founding of the United States, and with good reason.
I will define slavery as "Owning another human being as property, often against their will".
Also, so far as I know, Jesus never said anything in support of slavery and preached ideals that made its existence impossible if followed.
I simply want to see the darkest pain and suffering of White Christian Nationalists.
They are not Christians at all.
