[Disclaimer] - I am not an American and I consider myself atheist, I am Caucasian and born in a pre-dominantly Christian country.
Based on my limited knowledge of Christianity, it is all about social justice, compassion and peace.
And I was always wondering how come Republicans are perceiving themselves as devout Christians while the political party they support is openly opposing those virtues and if this doesn’t make them hypocrites?
For them the mortal enemy are the lefties who are all about social justice, helping the vulnerable and the not so fortunate and peace.
Christianity sounds to me a lot more like socialist utopia.
Because Religion is the ultimate tool of self-righteousness.
It can be used and twisted to justify their every behavior, no matter how vile… While conversely being used to demonize everything they hate, no matter how righteous.
Thats why most fervent right wing christians dont even know whats in the bible, they are only capable of regurgitating the hate and vague justifications for it that they hear from their cohorts, their extremist evangelical leaders, and their politicians. Because they don’t care about the actual tenants of the religion they’ve co-opted, They only care about the authority claiming ti be faithful gives their words and actions in their own eyes and opinions. . They are addicted to it, like a drug.
