Christianity and Politics

I see Christians as sociopaths. All of them. They hold no moral compass or sense of reason because they believe 2000 years ago some people wrote some stuff down and they refuse to believe anything else was written since then that mattered. No cell phones for any of them.

Yeah but I think Gregg's on to it... it doesn't really matter what the definition is, bc it's about "I get to define the in-group in a way that you can't argue with"... Oh, he's born again but preaches charity instead of nationalism? Must be a sinner

These phony, sanctimonious frauds that pass as religious leaders in the world of white Christian nationalism can all go fuck themselves. Some of us should start shoving our atheism down their throats and see how they like it.

Those who would be masters use 'inclusive' and vague terms when they seek support. They then make the opposition smaller, and therefore they can narrow down their in-group. So the "Monotheist" standard degrades to "Judeo-christian" to "christian" to "protestant" to "evangelical" like "white"

Those results will depend on if they think “god put their sons on the battlefield to fight for Christianity” I live among these brainwashed assholes. Let these ppl feel some pain. It’s the only way forward.

Yeah so does christianity, what's your point? And also, to say that the Ottoman Empire was in any way secular is absolutely idiotic.

In a more Liberal time for the Caliphate when they were Muslim in name only but Islam itself says that homosexuals should be killed.

Not to mention, for the northeast, our first encounter with evangelicals was Jimmy Carter. So a lot of them skated for a while based on the “different but obviously a decent person” vibe.

They call themselves religious to pick up voters. They are no more Christian than Satan himself!!! The Crusades were not a pretty time in history!! Don't even think God will accept these liar murderers!!

Shilling for the evangelical vote. Shameless. These guys use religion as convenience. They see how it works in the U.S. to a degree and hope they can make it work up here. Most Canadians are smarter than that I would like to believe.

Trump isnt a Christian, he's a Nationalist.

I too believe in the separation of church and state. This is not crossing that line. Do you also get pissed off when he wishes folks a happy Holi or Hanukah? It's a greeting, not a policy directive 🙄

It’s pretty obvious Republican politicians use religion as a campaign strategy or prop. If they were actually following God and Jesus Christ, Donald Trump wouldn’t be the head of their party.

Considering that there is supposed to be a separation of church and state, ah yeah, Christians are at the top of the issues. Why? Because they shouldn't be. People in politics give Christianity and all religions a bad name.

They have attached their identity to politics not the values found in all the world's great religions. I suspect a lot say they are Christian "evangelical" without a clue what that means or ever going to church.

That's a bizarre nickname for a group of people. Especially since Christianity has long been worse for freedom and humanity than Islam. Especially especially because the most extreme aspects of Islam are only empowered because American Christians kept killing the more liberal leaders.

We’d first need to get a meaningful number of American Protestants to accept that non-whites and non-Americans can be human and Christian.

"I don't approve of cramming your religious faith down people's throats, and when the top of the chain couches these operations in this hyper-Christian tone, it flies in the face of the freedom of religion that the Constitution enshrines and that our men and women in uniform sign up to defend,"

El mundo de las cofradías es un invernadero de votantes de pp y vox, mentes planas, creyentes de algo que no existe… facil lo tienen esos políticos para sacar votos… la fe mueve al fascismo.

You make a lot of assumptions... I stand by my point which is christianity and indeed no religions should have an overt place in American politics. Government should be secular. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's one of my pet peeves that everyone calls these people Christians, when in fact they are nothing at all like genuine followers of Jesus' teachings. I feel like the word should be in quotation marks when applied to them and their actions: "Christian," or "so-called Christian."
