“This is how we should order our lives together,” he said. “And frankly, yes, we are going to impose it upon you. If you don’t like it, I’m sorry, but this is good and right and just if it lines up with God’s standards, and I am going to enforce my morality on you in as much as our morality is God’s morality.”
“You should always check yourselves,” he continued. “Do I believe what God believes? Am I defending what God says is good?”
“And if it is, then you should have the courage to say, ‘This is how we’re going to run our town, this is how we’re going to run our county, this is how we’re going to run our state, and this is how we should run the United States of America by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible.'”

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you…
Oh, not these values.
Right wing American politics has made a mockery out of Christianity.
Unironically how these people read that list:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Read: the poor in spirit die first.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Read: We will kill those who mourn
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth.
Read: Once the greenhouse gasses are no longer tolerable. We going to Mars, suckas
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Read: killing those who oppose me is what is righteous.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Read: we don’t even bully the Mexican guy on our squad, he’s pretty cool guy
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Read: white
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the Sons of God.
Read: kill those who oppose you until there is no more opposition and you will become Jesus.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Read: God needs me to kill ANTIFA
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Read: you have my permission to kill the infidels.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you…
Read: don’t question your mission. You and all your pedo friends can fuck teenage girls or something, after you die for this cause.
…yep. those are them alright.
by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible
“Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor” Mark 10:21
“You cannot serve both God and money.” Luke 16:13
“If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” Matthew 5:39
“Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,” Luke 6:27
My guy is probably wearing mixed fabrics smh my head
Bullshit. Trump or his officials are not Christians. Dictator is cosplaying as christian but is secretly the anti christ
If you read revelations it pretty much describes Trump(as the antichrist).
Christianity has been used to control people for as long as it existed.
In his book, “It Can’t Happen Here” (1935), Sinclair Lewis wrote, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying the cross.”
Only look like 80 years but gonna real, I didnt think the anti christ would be soo like obvious about it. Humanity had such a low bar to overcome.
Stop this Obama-era “they go low, we go high” bullshit! It didn’t even work in those days, it’s just Mitt Romney was both a charisma vacuum, and unlike Trump didn’t hide his theocratic ambitions under multiple layers of post-irony.
All this “they’re not real christians” bullshit led to is the disappearance of religious criticism, and the right immediately hijacking every talking points on what a “good christian” should look like, to further push their theocratic fascism. Secularism? Now it’s a radical christian ideology, because “Obama likes his neighbor”, so we have to accept theocratic fascism, because coMmON SeNsE. At worst this is being pushed so much into the extremes, that nowadays people think christianity was the first (!) religion to outlaw murder, pedophilia, etc.
Are islamist terrorists “fake muslims”, who probably get drunk every day? Are the hindu extremists of India “fake hindus” for being awful to the muslim population? Was Stalin a “fake atheist” for persecuting the church? FUCK NO! All you’re doing is giving an excuse to religious extremists by excluding them from religion the moment they’re not adhering to the model religious person stereotype, so the next generation of them can continue the same fucking bullshit, all because “good christian Obama liked his muslim and atheist neighbor”, and we continue handling the power of irrationalism to theocratic fascists in the hopes of a second Obama.
He’s right, though. Nothing about what they’re doing is even remotely Christian. They’ve been claiming abortion as their central tenet of Christianity, but the bible doesn’t condemn that even once. The bible does tell us thousands of times to help the poor, feed the hungry, etc., but they are strongly against that and see the poor as deserving of that poverty. There are dozens of aspects where they go out of their way to miss the point of Christianity and preach the polar opposite.
They only hijack Christianity as a conservative identity to rally around in order to bind voters to their fundamentally anti-christian cause. Religion to them is a tool for social control, not about honest faith.
And repeating that is important to free believers who fell for their lies. If you allow them to own the label “christian”, you allow them to continue to fool people into supporting them. We have to unmask them, show them for who they really are.
"We must allow a theocrat to rise to power, because what if there would be a theocrat that would use my interpretation of christianity, which is about kindness and good things, would rise to power?"🤡
For every “love thy neighbor” quote, there’s a quote about violent conversion. For every “pedos must be thrown into the river with a stone tied to them”, there’s a “menstrual marriage”. And while the “turn the other cheek” sounds nice out of context, it was about slaves. These theocrats see you as their literal slaves (!), and I’ve seen my fair share of alt right shitheads using the full quote to justify their tactic of “we go low, you go high”, and then to mock the people who fall for them.
I don’t know where you got that naive quote, but I completely disagree with that. Theocracy corrupts both religion and politics, and it’s important that people see that. They lie and pervert, and that needs to be exposed.
And one vital step in that is to expose their lies, undermine the base they have mislead into supporting them. Don’t allow them to keep that.
They’re absolutely christian. Its just Christianity has many flavours of evil assholes.
It is not such a secret.
I feel obligated to call it out lest stupid people believe their lies. Silence means compliance
Start with Trump I guess? Good luck forcing people into your lifestyle when your own people don’t even follow it.
How about fuck you? I dont need your book to be a better person than you.
And frankly, yes, we are going to impose it upon you
No, you fucking ARE NOT.
this is how we should run the United States of America by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible.
You can go ahead and go fuck yourself pal, because this is a secular nation. Besides, the “morality” in the Bible is a horrible model for morality, sorry.
Which God? Whose God?
I for one think this man is a literal Devil-worshiper. If your religion leads you to hate, you’re worshiping Satan. Gay people exist because God wants gay people to exist. It is the height of hubris to dare to question the will of the Almighty. If God didn’t want people to be gay, he wouldn’t make gay people.
This man is going to Hell. There he will join his master in the Pit.
Which god? Excuse me! The chaos gods must be served undivided! Trump represents all 4.
Nurgle - i mean forget the health thing. Just look at him next to the greater demon of nurgle.
Slaanesh - not even going there cause that’s a book
Tzeentch - the burger lord plans are in and out. Ive never seen anyone with plans that represent the lord of change planning like him. Its like text book.
Khorne - wars for everyone
The Christian god. The greatest source of misery and suffering in their own book.
From broad personal experience, anyone who often says “hail satan” is a better person than any religious fundamentalist, politician, or billionaire.
“Sharia law” by any other name.
Sharia Law permits abortions in some cases.
I remember a particular asshat on DP forums that would try to get me booted all the time, and always crying that there is no such thing as xtian Shariah Law and that calling xtianists talibangelicals was so very unfair and so mean, and oh my god, the civility of it all!
The xtianists definitely have Shariah Law even if, sure, they don’t call it that, duh.
Other than the days they worship and a few other differences about ritual and so on, explain the difference between backward dumbasses of the fundamentalist stripe of either of these Abrahamic religions?
Both groups ache to subjugate women and murder infidels and gays, etc.
You mean their made up fake Christian values. If an actual Christian saw what these creeps consider Christian values, they’d be very upset. Pretty sure infidelity, bribery, cheating, fraud, name calling, mockery, gambling, false worship, casting out of strangers and all the rest is exactly contradictory to the book they claim to hold in reverence.
As opposed to the traditional catholic values of murdering brown people, burning apostates, progroming Jews, policing every aspect of sexuality, and most importantly enforcing a rigid belief in social hierarchy and the divine rights of nobility?
All Christian values are made up, bruh. But I get your point.
Alas, there are no true scotsmen
Needs to be renamed to “no true Christian” at this point
These xtianists don’t really seem to give a fuck about the Sermon on the Mount very much.
These people either rape children, or support people that do.
If they followed the teachings of Jesus I might not mind so much.
— an atheist
That love thy neighbor guy must have really hated the minorities, women, gays, and trans. Thats great for me i wont double check or anything.
-someone who never read the Bible and probably cant read in first place
EVERYONE MUST LIVE EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AND KILL ANYONE DIFFERENT -Jesus of Nazareth, probably
Christian? They are a fucking pedophilic ring.
I mean, the Bible doesn’t say it’s against that.
The ironic part is that the one section of the new testament they claim is against gay people is very likely condemning the act of sleeping with child slaves, using a Greek word which has been otherwise lost to history.
So someone else commented a long time ago that in america the age of marriage was 7 years old because thats how old someone is when they truly understand what sin is per the Bible.
No idea if true but seems legit ppl would use the Bible to promote this behavior.
At this point I have to believe that it’s a core tenet of the bible.
In times like this we must remember what the Bible says about things like marriage: One man, one hundred women.
Also, selling daughters, because they’re property! Like slavery, which is also totally fine.
The bible also says it’s just to stomp in the heads of your enemies’ infants, as long as sky-daddy tells you so as a voice in your head :)
Yup. They may be more Christian than we realized.
Y’all Qaeda.
