Before battle, crusaders would pray. After battles (if they won) they would then pillage and slaughter nonbelievers in the name of their God. Obviously the Christian God is in favor of death. The GOP is simply continuing the crusaders work at home.

    And this was already heavily criticized by Christians in the Middle Ages.

    Why didn't their all powerful god punish them by making them lose the battle then?

    They lost. They won some battles, but lost most of them and finally lost the Crusades. A lot of medieval thinkers said it was because crusaders were bloodthirsty and corrupt and that God made them loose.

    Let's not start acting like MAGA destroyed the once benevolent Republican Party.

  • source

    Republican Party: Smaller Government, Lower Taxes, Responsible Economic Policy, Family Values.

    MAGA: Corruption, Racism, Misogyny, Lower Taxes for the Wealthy, Higher taxes for workers, Enormous Spending On Military and Vanity Projects, Violence, Endless War, Enslavement, Genocide, Cruelty, Ignorance, Incompetence, Pedophilia

    They are not the same. The Republican Party no longer exists, they are MAGA now. The only reason MAGA is hanging on to the Republican label is so that they can still claim that they represent the traditional Republican values, which is a lie. Republican Party has been fully replaced by MAGA, and they should only be referred to in an historical, scholarly perspective.

    The Democratic Party should officially refer to them as MAGA, and Red State election ballots should list the right candidates as MAGA.

    The Republican party hasn't actually stood for or legislated towards those values since pre-Nixon. MAGA stands for the exact same thing the GOP has stood for for decades, they just stopped hiding it behind your list of buzzwords. I agree they are using the term 'Republican' as a veil, but we disagree on the timeframe.

    And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

    MAGA: Yeah fuckface libtard bitchtard but you forgot it's OK when I do it and doesn't count. Doesn't count! Doesn't count! Jesus loves ME (NOT YOU)

    They're praying to Moloch, a biblical deity associated with child sacrifice.

    Honestly, I'm not even sure if I'm joking.

    Not all of them. Some of them (us, I'm Christian myself) do, others listen to Jesus who said:

    and when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. (Matthew 6:5)

    I pray in public all the time. Nobody ever saw me do it, outside of services in churches or in the privacy of Christians' homes. These guys don't pray, they show off.

    It's possible the media just happened to capture them in the act.

    They're professional politicians, they know these things, don't be candid. But even if it wasn't the case, it would still be showing off, but for their colleagues. A way to posture righteousness just before doing evil things. They make people hate Christ while it's Mammon they serve.

    Ask non-Christian people what is the Church about. They'll answer that Christianity means hate of homosexuals, submission of women, fight against reproductive rights, rejection of science and rational thought, and I could go on… None of this is biblical. Abortion is not evoked even once. Women are regularly put in position of power compared to their “normal” position in the societies of these times from Deborah who was describe as an head of state to the powerful women of the Acts). Wisdom — the equivalent of “rational thought” then — is highly praised. Homosexuality (when defined as respectful love between consenting adults) is alluded only once, and it's a positive allusion.

    But these guys, they'll cherrypick, deform, read uncontextually to make the Bible a book of hate. They'll invent a doctrine of biblical inerrancy to make every verse count as much as all others, while the Bible warn against that, and drown the actual central message in details. They're hypocrites who fight everything Christ said: love, love unconditionally, help the poor, fight peacefully oppression. They are highly regarded by society as they do that, but received their reward in full already.

    And meanwhile Christ is more and more rejected because of people like them. That's why I said that they must put Christ's name on their lips, but it's Mammon they're praying.

    Abortion is not evoked even once.

    Actually, I remember the instructions for inducing a miscarriage (abortion) were laid out in the old testament. Part of it involved scraping up and ingesting shit from the temple floor.

    Why can't politicians(or anyone, and such organizations) who claim to be anti-fascist or progressive stop posting on the Nazi platform owned by one of the most apalling figures of wealth in history?

    MAGAt "Christians" hate this passage:

    Matthew 25 41-46

    41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
    42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
    43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
    44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
    45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
    46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

    And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

    "False prophets are people who claim to speak for God or share divine truth, but instead spread lies for personal gain, pride, or evil purposes. The Bible warns that they look harmless on the outside—like sheep—but act with harmful intent. Opinions are mixed on whether they are completely evil or just deeply confused, but traditional theology views their deception as spiritually destructive."

    All I can imagine witnessing their false faith is a rope around their necks and a spear through their hearts. I do wonder how much fury men like Charlemagne, Constantine, and Saint Louis IX of France would have if witnessed to their profligate successors.

    Frankly it's not even the evil that pisses me off the most it's the sheer fucken hypocrisy of it all, they thump their Bible and act as if Christ would like them as they commit actions and deeds far worse than what any of what the characters of the Bible faced if not by brutality then certainly by sheer fucken scale. By the Allfather I fucken hate these cretins so much.

    Respectable and good are two different things, the men I listed could be respected both in spite and because of their evils since they did their actions themselves. These modern shitheels would probably all piss themselves if forced to interact with the people they hurt without their fucking security.
