I always laugh when I hear shit like this, there is an old german saying my father taught me. "When there are 9 Nazis at a table, and you go sit with them, there are 10 Nazis at the same table".

If you are sharing the same church with them then you are sharing the same ideology. Start kicking these maga fucks out of your churches and I might start believing you.

I wish Christians in red states were Christians.

I’ve taken to begging churches in my state to investigate the states systemic refusal to investigate the physical and sexual abuse of children. I’ll see if our “Christians” believe in the words of Christ.

this has always been relevant

I'll tell you exactly why these trump supporting Christians don't realize this, it's because most of them don't actually think critically about what's actually in the Bible. They have piss poor media literacy, and their example of Christianity is what their probably racist parents and community instilled into them. That's how my father is.

I think most atheists I know are much closer to the christian values that the church and people who consider themselves christians are. Almost funny how a religion that's supposed to be built on sharing, tolerance and love have produce to most selfish intolerent people filled with hatred.

They (Christian MAGA) don't care. I have a family member I shared this verse, and many others with, and they only got angry at me. This was months ago.

They simply don't care. Not about what Jesus said, and not about any of us.

If you interpret monotheism as incompatible with materialism and as prescriptive of equality, most Jews, Christians and Muslims lose it at the first commandment.

Edit: Self included, naturally.

MAGA is a cult. There's nothing Christian about it.

Most "Christians" have never actually read their own handbook, and just stick with shit they've heard that reinforces their venomous beliefs.

So, which one keeps giving it septic tanks full of dead babies?

And why the fuck do we tolerate this shit existing when that's the benign version?

Yes! Matthew 25:32 is one of the best examples of how warped MAGA & Christianity has become.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

I quote this passage a lot because it’s very explicit about going to heaven or not. It’s based on good acts, outlined briefly here. I don’t get how any MAGA person can read that and agree with our current policy. It’s anti-Christian.

And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free - John 8:32

Also Trump wears diapers and smells horrible. Probably because he's the anti-christ or a reasonable facsimile.

The Bible is also abundantly clear about being misogynist and homophobic (even in the New Testament). Skipping over those parts gives an evil book/religion a pass. Fuck Christianity.

The broader truth is that you can't be Christian and be pro-Capitalist.

Once you remove Capitalism as the base, the entire "prosperity gospel" falls apart.

Jesus is definitely an amalgamation of a variety of stories and characters. I believe a real Jesus existed and was really killed by the state for what he did on what they celebrate as Palm Sunday, he mocked the emperor and was killed. He likely also mocked the Jewish leaders of his time and the Mystery Cults/public perception of Jews in his time.

Example; the Eucharist was an act of mockery towards Mystery Cult rituals and the negative stereotypes of Jews.

The Bible Jesus and much of his teachings are a culmination of thought put upon one character to tell a story like Gilgamesh (who was also a carpenter), any Roman-Greco hero, King Arthur. The story of the three wise men is, in my opinion, the idea that Eastern/foreign thought is introduced somehow namely Zoroastrianism. The dude lived in Palestine and likely alongside heavy trade routes into Rome, probably got exposed to interesting folk. He's born in both Nazareth and Bethlehem? Sounds to me like he's all these different folks smooshed into one story.

In my opinion, Jesus is anti-authoritarian first and foremost, likely some form of socialist. And likely a punk.

Kurt Cobain is probably closer to Jesus than any Republican.
