It’s wild the Christian religion is generally about love and tolerance (if you read the Bible), but the actual practitioners are some of the worst fuckers in American society
As a Christian, I can honestly say I’m appalled at literally everything the current administration is doing. We’re called to love others, not to judge them. There is a huge difference in saying you’re Christian and behaving as one.
the Christian religion is generally about love and tolerance (if you read the Bible)
No, if you read the Bible you’ll see a vengeful, genocidal, jealous, petulant god who’s very ok with slavery and rape. Not much love and tolerance there.
No you clearly have no idea the difference between old and New Testament and the importance of that to Christians. You also have no idea what scholar consider actually written by the apostles and not. Go do some research about that.
To be fair, there is a decent amount of Christians who have weirdly attached themselves to the old testament.
A lot of them seem to fixate on Paul’s writings, too. As well as the “old”.
Yeah I definitely do find that to be a bit strange lol
Why does it matter if scholars don’t think something is written by the apostles? Mark is not considered an apostle and people seem fine with him having his own sections. Even so, is the Bible not the word of god? Do we need entire history departments dedicated to tracking down who wrote what to declare what parts of the Bible are “real”? Isn’t that in itself an issue? Also, plenty of obvious issues with the New Testament even if you only take from books by apostles theoretically written close to their own time. Enjoy Matthew 15:21-28 where Jesus refuses to help a woman’s sick daughter because the woman was not Israeli/appropriately Jewish and refers to her and non-Israeli/jews as dogs. He eventually helps her once she says “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Cool dude I’m sure, provided you were from the right place and followed his exact religion. Gee, I wonder if that reminds you of anyone?
The old testament justifies the “new”. Also, the character of Jesus says that “not one jot or tittle” thing.
I was raised with red letter xtianity; but if you really do look closer, it’s easy to see that xtianity is truly a Rorschach’s blot, and for good reason. You can cherry-pick extreme right, white nationalist stuff out of there, or you could just still to the red letters and be radically leftist.
It seems you didn’t read the bible ;)
That’s pre-Jesus stuff though. You can find faults in the New Testament too but this thread is seriously missing the point I think
Not all of them. There are a few sects that are far worse than the others.
Very true
So is he going to eradicate himself? Because he’s basically the antichrist…
How dare you talk about God Emperor rump like that! Straight to Guantanamo!
He’s off to a bad start; announcements like that only serve to increase anti-Christian bias, mine included.
I see no statements from Muslim communities who helped him to grab this presidency. I would like to know their reaction to this.
If you’re trying to root out antichristian behavior, you might start with the antichrist himself.
Too bad they won’t address all the “Christians” that make it their mission to live drunk on cruelty and schaudenfreude.
If being Christian has anything to do with honoring and following the tenets of Jesus of Nazareth as written in the New Testament, there isn’t a single Christian in the Republican party.
They use Jesus like a mask or totem to be on “I win morality” base while almost exclusively advocating inhuman atrocities like destroying families and doing the opposite of everything in their supposed own book they’ve clearly never read.
It’s not like they try but fall short either. This isn’t no true Scotsman, all they do is hate. When is the last time you’ve seen a Republican express love for anyone that wasn’t rooted in angering (hating) their innumerable enemies? Is Jesus not love?
They don’t believe in good or bad acts. They believe in good or bad people. Good people do good things. Bad people do bad things. They believe in Jesus, so they must be good. You don’t, so you must be bad. Now any action against you in justified, cause they do good and you do bad and bad must be stopped by good. Doesn’t matter what you’re doing, and doesn’t matter what they do to you. The morality has already been established.
It’s “Antichristian bias”. In other words, bias against the Antichrist.
Does this mean I can potentially create an organization that has the goals of flipping over tables that sell stuff at churches?
He also chased the money-changers out of the temple with a whip. Make sure to include that part too.
Good luck with that, fuckos.
If you remove the anti, all you’re left with is the pro.
By design in this case. 250 years of a lie lol.
Nobody expects the American inquisition
The Crusades never ended.
This is all totally normal. I’m sure the Democrats will convene a committee to write a white paper about it or something…
DOGE will shut it down, right?
…
Right?
This is just a pivot for his blame game. People are finding out that immigrants, gays and DEI aren’t the problem so he needs new fall guy.
