And yet I was taught in school that people went to America to escape religious persecution.

EPSTEIN FILES!!!! OMG THEY TORTURED, RAPED, AND KILLED CHILDREN. Fuck your stupid prayer. Only the most depraved demon would answer any of their prayers. Also, I hear they ate people too.
Muscular Christian nationalism
Somebody's gonna rip a phone book in half....
But even with the power of God Almighty, no Christian warrior can rip the Epstein Files in half.
/s
HAHAHAHA I also read this and was like wot, maybe its british slang LMAO idk
They're definitely using it like "bullying".
As in it's upfront and in people's faces?
I've never heard it used that way but in context it makes sense. I just immediately pictured the Workaholics episode where they had "Christian Strongmen".
Nope, Muscular Christianity is a religious movement that attempted to tie Christianity to fitness, masculinity, and patriotism as well as the rejection of more traditional Christian values such as meekness and pacifism. It's deeply tied to crises of masculinity.
The Nat-C's are a helluva regime.

Matthew 6:5
“And when you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they will be seen by people. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
All while proudly going against most teaching of the bible
We can pray for the demise of Christofascism, but it's going to be our job to make that prayer come true.
Oh dear sweet baby Jesus, please reach down from the heavens above and make this motherfucker's heart explode. There. I prayed.
They need to do this from their closet.
At least according to their own text.

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.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Priests read this as gospel at mass where everyone shows up to pray in public and will 100% gossip behind your back if you miss a Sunday or don't look like you're praying hard enough while there.
I'm so glad I live in a part of the United States where I just don't have to give a fuck about picking the "right" church and doing the "right" things there. I have to pay as much attention to that shit as I do to how much someone loves Harry Potter series vs. Star Wars.
Though apparently that is a huuuuge thing in certain parts of the U.S., notably, the South.
My view is that religion and all its little rules and rituals are for those that have adapted that lifestyle. Since I live in a secular nation, I don't have to give two farts in a high wind about any of it.
May they be touched by His Noodly Appendage.
Donald Trump is a prophet of the old testament. He even got the part about fucking his own daughter right.
Ah yes, Christians, the oppressed 69%.
Most of Christianity in USA is disgusting and unchristian.
hail satan!
If heaven is filled with Christians like Trump, send me straight to hell.
I sort of wonder if we're not already in hell, as detrrmined by the last election?
“White house to pander to Christian voters because they’re scared about the midterms”
Nothing Christian about it.
Respectfully disagree.
While it doesn't comport with many (better) people's concepts of it, these people aren't all hopped up on secular humanism when they ban books and open de-transition centers
There's nothing Christian about de-transitioning centers.
Except that they're literally all ran by Christians who use Christianity and the Bible to backup their reasoning for existing.
Just a coincidence probably.
In what way do they back it up with the bible?
I pray they get struck by lightning.
Thought this was the Onion for a second.
Sucks you can’t even tell real news from the onion these days. :/
At least you don't have that scary brown lady.
But hey, bOtH sIdEs R tEh SaMe amirite?
Kinda lame Lockheed Liberal talking point.
President Jill Stein agrees.
I guess "bluemaga" didn't takeoff, huh? Keep trying!
Maybe the felon needs some big operation tomorrow? Or they should give him his last rites?
I'm so atheist that I find even discussing it asinine. It's odd to me that a grown adult could hold any other opinion, and I'd rather keep pretending that I'm surrounded by grown adults. So I don't discuss it at all. And then shit like this comes along ...
I'd piss on a bible tomorrow if I had one
Hail. Mother fucking. SATAN if these are the assholes telling you to pray to Jesus
Bit of an edgelord, eh?
I don't pray any other day, but I'm going to not pray extra hard tomorrow.
Can't travel there and I'm not muslim. But if I could, I'd show up with a prayer rug and FSM teeshirt, and kneel facing Mecca while loudly making noises.
I can pray. He won't like to whom or for what I pray, but sure, the gods could use another plea for his downfall.
How does one not pray extra hard?
I have no gods to pray to but anyway good luck with that
He demands people pray to him. If they pray to God, they get thrown in a lion's den
The government is endorsing the concept that the citizens should reject Critical Thinking Skills, and embrace Faith-Based Thinking, in which people believe what they are told, without any evidence, based solely on faith in the authority sending the message. Once they've convinced someone of their authority, anything they say will be believed, no matter how outlandish.
