That tracks. No one is as unfamiliar with, and vehemently opposed to, the words of Jesus more than American Christians.

Is that Jack Chick?
Looks like a Chick tract. Find the one about Harry Potter... it's hilarious.
Jesus Christ is DEMONIC!
-Christians!
"American Conservative Christians" are not Christians. They never have been.
Maybe Paulians.
Which is still hilarious to me because even Paul straight up named the fruit of the spirit and it is not them lol.
No, just rubes following the modern equivalent of tent-show hucksters.
In actuality, their favorite parts of the bible are when God mercilessly slaughters innocent babies.
Yeah, this unfortunately. Christian nationalists will never and cannot enter the kingdom of heaven
I know nothing about Christ but America right now seems to be completely against it
I know an average amount about Christ, considering my upbringing... and I agree with you
I went to catholic schools and yeah America hates the sumbitch. Well except the people who dislike Christianity, we tend to be pro corporal works of mercy.
I went to a catholic high school run by Dominican nuns who were some of the least christian people it has ever been my misfortune to meet.
It is comical that the overwhelming majority of the people I have known that most embody the tenets of Christianity were in fact not Christians at all.
Meanwhile only the sound of crickets when Hexseth quoted fake Bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Xtn right is becoming the type of power our nation's founders came here to get away from. Their influence corrupts both faith and government. Blaming cross-dressers for grooming children when the actual news headlines are pastors and priests abusing kids. They have become the American Taliban.
They went on Fox News the other night and said “when I look at this white preacher from Texas all I can think about is MOLESTING TRANS KIDS”
They really think they got everyone hypnotized like some kinda three stooges skit
Ahh yes, the national socialists of religious demographics, hiding behind an ideology like a fucking brand while doing the exact opposite of everything it demands they practice in life, back with another thing to say. How about they fuck off. Christians need to much more vocally call out the disingenuous weaponization of their belifs in the purusit of power, I know these evangelical freaks are a minority, they just own all the major media so they get to have the loudest voice. Still, it needs to be rubbed in their face every single day that they would be the ones to crucify Jesus again if he did come back like they claim to want.
These cunts wouldn't know Jesus if he descended from heaven with trumpets and handed them a Bible.
"He knows how to read! Witchcraft!"
When Christianity becomes a tool of power rather than a challenge to it, it doesn’t just damage the church. It destabilizes democracy. We are watching that happen in real time.
I'm not American, but I am a Christian, and I believe that wholeheartedly. Religions, including my own, should never hold political power. However religion can and should serve as a reminder that temporal authority is subject to something higher, thereby tempering and relativizing secular power, which is always tempted to absolutize itself.
The drive for absolute power has nothing to do with secularism. Religious power does the same thing.
None of our leaders in the west believe in anything, let alone christianity, they are nihilists that believe in nothing other than self advancement, and that follows to business leaders. There will be no tempering of the temporal authority from religion, or anywhere else, absent some holy wrath.

Until such higher power asserts itself, these people will not be deterred.
“Religion, too, is a weapon. What manner of weapon is religion when it becomes the government?”
The xtian right wing cannot really be considered to be following the things that the character of Jesus is made to say in their own texts.
They should not really be called xtians. And no, I'm not trying for the No True Scotsman thing here...
At best, they might be considered Paulians
since they seem to be so very different....

🧑🏻🚀🔫🧑🏻🚀
Religion has always been a tool of power.
Of course. They are heretics after all. Performative christians. Ask the Pope.
