      Problem here is that you seem to think (or assume others think) that religion is something other than a means to con dupes into giving up power and money. It’s pliable as fuck. It means nothing; it’s merely a means to an end.

      There are a significant number of American Christians that have worked Trump into the religion.

      Many prophesied his election victory, fueled insanity when this did not happen, culminating in… basically he is a kind of messiah, not literally Jesus, but doing his work, and he must do it before Jesus comes back.

      You’d have to actually read the book to know that.

      And people who actually read the Bible (and comprehend it), typically end up atheist.

      Jesus condoned slavery. And that was directly used by Southern slave owners to justify chattal slavery in the US.

      He could have very easily said, “hey guys, you shouldn’t own other humans as property,” but no (assuming he even existed).

      Instead, he instructed people on how to treat their slaves.

        I think you’re confusing Jesus with “Paul” who almost certainly wasn’t Paul in “his” later letters but it’s still generally true that the Bible is pro-slavery and heirarchy. Plus it’s taken as the indirect word of Christ anyways so same difference, really.

        If you have the specific passage about Jeebus saying slavery is fine feel free to share, I love getting more ammo to hit theists with.

          Luke 12:47-48.

          Matthew 20:27.

          And here I’ll just copy/paste this from the “the Bible and slavery” wiki:

          The Bible says that Jesus healed the ill slave of a centurion and restored the cut off ear of the high priest’s slave. In his parables, Jesus referenced slavery: the prodigal son, ten gold coins, unforgiving tenant, and tenant farmers. Jesus also taught that he would give burdened and weary laborers rest. The Passion narratives are interpreted by the Catholic Church as a fulfillment of the Suffering Servant songs in Isaiah.

          When questioned about the hierarchy of his followers, Jesus responds that “whoever would be first among you must be your slave” (Matthew 20:27).

          Yes, most of the overtly pro-slavery stuff in the NT was Paul, but Jesus (I would say more than) tacitly condoned it.

          Jesus was clearly immersed in a culture that included slavery. He could have very easily had, you know, done the right thing, and told his followers that owning other humans as property is bad. It seems like, if there was a loving god etc etc etc, that they wouldn’t want people to have slaves. And could have stopped it any time they liked. Fuck that…

            I think that’s a bit of a stretch but I see where you’re coming from at least. Plus you always have to remember that the Romans just deleted shit they didn’t like, and they loved slavery.

    Paula White-Cain, the NAR-affiliated Florida pastor who served as Trump’s lead spiritual adviser during his presidency, warned her followers that Christians who didn’t support Trump will “have to stand accountable before God one day.”

    Those will be the ones ascending to heaven according to your bible, Paula, while you stand with the literal Anti-Christ you fucking grifter.

      As opposed to all the times in the past where it had more to do with zealotry towards a figurehead (kings, saints, martyrs, etc) or outright heinous acts. This is what Christianity has always been. It was only ever about peace and love on paper. It’s always been about idolatry and control in practice.

      No, this is Christianity. You don’t get to just disown large swathes of your religion because they make your hateful ideology look as bad as it actually is.

      If anyone is “not really Christian,” it’s the ones who claim to be LGBTQ+ friendly.

        Does she bang porn stars, cheat on her husband, sexually assault men, show appreciation for Hitler, stamp her name on cheap Chinese bibles, claim to jave been personally saved/chosen by God (who apparently gave zero fucks about the actual Christian who died) , demonize the poor and those who seek shelter and aid, or just generally live a life of sin and greed while never setting foot in church other than for photo ops during riots that he caused?

        Because that’s the part where i have trouble watching a bunch of Christians give their prayers and blessings to him instead of just about any other random stranger who’d likely be far more deserving.

        It’s like watching an anti-Christ movie play out in real life.

    Ah yes, Christians and their political beliefs based on the teachings of Christ such as… checks article preventing men from playing in women’s sports and making it illegal for “illegals” to vote. Which (of course) it already is.

    Where does this obsession with “illegals” voting even come from? Have these people ever registered to vote or voted? You have to provide information and be on the voter rolls, it’s not like you can just walk in and vote.

      My sister in law is a Republican, but doesn’t like Trump, but also buys in to a lot of what he says (her entire personality is “pro-life”)

      Yesterday, she’s talking to my wife, who is one of those people that keeps her conversations on speaker when she’s in the house:

      SIL: did you guys ever vote early

      W: yep, last several elections

      SIL: I think I’m going to test them and vote on my mail-in, early, and in person on Tuesday

      Me: you will go to jail for that…

      They just gobble up whatever they hear in their echo chamber. Nevermind all the Republicans who have gone to jail for voter fraud

      Also SIL: well the people who died two years ago that vote won’t go to jail

      W: yes but the people that voted in their place did…

      I’m just so exhausted trying to understand remotely where they come from
