Jesus lived as a refugee in the desert of Egypt for the first 12 years of his life, and the last words Jesus preached in public before his arrest are that nations must be merciful in 6 specific ways including welcoming strangers.

Uh yeah I don’t believe people who follow a guy who would send this image of himself see Jesus and the Bible as anything more than a talking point and a prop

Then he was falsely imprisoned and crucified by the government

These so called Christians have completely abandoned the teachings of Jesus in favor of a cult of nationalism, racism, bigotry, misogyny, and hate. They worship an orange idol who's a pathological liar, lifelong criminal, and anti democratic fascist.

And look at their hypocrisy on abortion, on unwanted pregnancy

Their Lord said do not judge, that is for God
Yet they judge HER, who they will never meet or care about or help in any way

They not only take that judgement away from their God, but they want Caesar (the govt) to punish her

Betrayal

Should I mention Jesus was actually okay with same sex relationships?
That whole faith of the centurion thing... Translated correctly, when the centurion was talking about his "servant," he was actually talking about his BELOVED.
"Just speak the word and I know HE will be healed."
And it happened.

Romans 1:26-27, Apostle Paul says that homosexuality is contrary to God's natural order and results from rejecting God. Additionally, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 lists homosexuality as one of the sins that will prevent someone from entering the Kingdom of God. Love the sinner, hate the sin. It's sin.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS!
THE SCIENCE IS PROVEN!! The determination as to whether a person is gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, queer or straight IS DETERMINED IN THE WOMB!
Love the Christian, hate the faulty religion and the judgemental assholes who claim to be Christian yet don't act like it.

They realize that religion is a tool they use to control, and all dictatorships use a deity as a way to control their population. Only the weak minded still believe in fairy tales that were never proven and have often been shown to be outright lies (Noah's ark, etc.). Check out www.vice-verses.com.

That’s why we call them “Fake Christians”

Maybe… it’s not about Jesus and Christianity but about cruelty, preserving privilege and their hurt feelings

donniedrumpf.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Or, maybe it's about treating everyone equally and fair. You get the job based on merit, not put above others (this would be against Jesus) simply because of your sexuality, race, etc.

Since he was in the Middle East - that would be common sense.

Religion has always been the excuse for domination (if the slave trade was taboo, many would remember the church sanctioned the trafficking of humans as early as the 17th c🤨).

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are Humanist teachings. Just sayin'

tiadee1031.bsky.social•1 day ago

One of the biggest reasons I deconstructed.
Women had no value in my church.
My husband could abuse me & "I needed to be better". Did they help anyone in need? No. They judged & shamed them.
I wanted a world filled with The Beatitudes.....I got fear, condemnation, judgment, & lasting hell preached

donniedrumpf.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Sounds like you were in a Baptist church. Jesus didn't create the church - that is man. Same with religion - man made. Anything that is man made has plenty of room for deceit. "church" is where 2 or more are gathered in My name. I have a relationship with Christ. I don't do religion.

tiadee1031.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It was exactly the Southern Baptist, tho I was raised Episcopalian. I am totally hooked on Rev Ben Cremer's Sunday newsletter...it actually speaks of religion based on love....not power & greed. I, too. Kept my relationship to Christ and walked away from religion.

donniedrumpf.bsky.social•9 hours ago

When my husband and I got married he was catholic and I was going to a Pentecostal church. Needless to say it was a shock to both of us to visit each others church. LOL. We found a new non denominational church. Sadly, they became more social center vs. word of God. Now we just listen at home.

tiadee1031.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Ben Cremer is an awesome read every Sunday morning while I drink coffee. I didn't think I'd ever be open to any organized religion after the S. Baptist Church experience.... But, I love his honesty. @brcremer.bsky.social is his BlueSky....

Jesus wasn't a republican or a democrat. I don't think you should insert politics into the gospel.

Both sides have their problems.

jm-iona.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Yes, but Republicans inserted politics noticeably in the 1970s beginning with Jerry Falwell, with fearmongering and fanning the flames of bigotry — a trajectory that has led us to the US equivalent of the "German Christians" of Nazi Germany. No wonder "Christianity" is waning.

Start with the most glaring and obvious truth:

Jesus was Middle Eastern, he was brown-skinned

White Jesus is, and always has been, a lie.

These so called "Christians" are as far from Christ as possible. Nazis gonna nazi. The Republicans attempt to use religion as a weapon, but in fact do not follow the teachings at all.

donniedrumpf.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Jesus taught to give to those less fortunate as in we the people. Not corporations, employers. We are all equal in his eyes. He is teaching us to love our neighbors as ourselves, not put anyone above another. If you have 2 coats... -this is about greed - don't store up your treasures on earth.

acernine.bsky.social•22 hours ago

... and Jesus was probably NOT white at all.

msdixiediva53.bsky.social•21 hours ago

As a middle-eastern Jew, his coloring at the time would be dark. A depiction of him as a child, found in an ancient temple, was of a dark-skinned, curly-headed boy. It makes sense.

donniedrumpf.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Nobody claims Jesus is white.....He was in Bethlehem - the Middle East - that is not white.
