You might hate it, but the vast majority of practicing Christians support him.
You might hate it, but the vast majority of ~~practicing Christians~~ uneducated lead poisoned propaganda brainwashed Americans support him.
FTFY.
Christianity has little to do with it as the GOP does not have anything to do with true Christian values.
Stop pretending that the vast majority of practicing Christians don't support him 100%. We all know it's true, we see their preachers saying it all the time.
I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a major Christian figure seriously criticize this administration, or speak out against Trump. The Pope has had a little to say, but it's still about as strong as a parent telling a child that they are "disappointed."
I'm waiting for a major political figure to condemn this administration, and tell their followers to resist this immoral, evil administration at every opportunity, but none of them have, and none of them will. Because ultimately, religion isn't about right and wrong, or good vs evil, it's about money and control, and in that concept, religion and MAGA are 100% aligned.
Saying that religion is only about money and control is like saying “computer games are all about violence”
Both are ignorant statements.
Evil people have attained great power. These people aren’t Christians, yet they pretend they are. These people prey on the poorly educated and the mentally ill.
Pretending to be Christian is just one of the tools in their arsenal.
Sincerely,
A Christian of 5 years who for 40 years was an extremely cocky atheist.
The real problem here is defining Christian views. There has never been one view of Christianity. Even when Paul was around.
So no one can say all Christians are x. Or they're not true Christians because x.
But you can say a large percentage of Christian America aligns itself with the republican party. So make of that what you will.
Christians are a core MAGA demographic, like it or not. Christianity is a violent terrorist hate group, and always has been.
Sure they do nice stuff now and then, but so do all evil people and organizations. Escobar built schools and churches, Hitler liked dogs and children, who fucking cares? None of their token good works offsets the evil they have done, and continue to do, and that includes ALL religions.
Well I disagree and I can’t see any productive conversation moving forward.
Take care.
Yep, Christianity has been a scourge on humanity for 2000 years. Not going to resolve that issue today. I got MAGAs to deal with before they get as entrenched and as hard to dislodge as Christianity
I understand your position.
It is all about money and control. You cannot argue any other way. That is what religion does. It may not be what it evolves into exactly, and it may not be what the believers even want.
But there is no denying it, every modern example is this way without exception. You think people in the past were any different? You think that isn't why for the longest time Christians weren't even allowed to read their own book?
Religion is a tool to enrich some and control others.
Holy shit Lemmy hates Christians.
The downvotes are very telling.
Or they disagree with you. I think they see the bullshit that is religion in general, as the comment I replied to was about religion in general.
But Americans are certainly busy making the Christian religion a very divisive subject. I mean two books by pastors who are pushing the idea that Empathy is a Sin? Or the notion that wealth is an indication of God rewarding the right people? It is a mess.
But like I said, this is how religion works, people invent it and wield it for personal gain and control. Always has been that way.
The fallacy, of course, is that all religious people are evil. Not true. You can't paint everyone with the same brush.
I left Reddit because of all the bullshit that it has become.
Came to Lemmy and mentioned that I was Christian. Downvotes.
Every time I mention it. Downvotes.
It’s unreal.
Watch this get downvotes lmao.
Can you blame them?
Religion is running right though politics and global affairs in a very negative way. Not a good look to be on that team. People just saw a man dragging a cross at the huge event for Charlie Kirk trying to show the suffering and burden he carried. These worlds are tied, and you are saying you align with that in their eyes.
But why you would mention your religious affiliation, is there a good reason?
Either you personally live by an ideal you can explain (such as feeling empathy for Biden in this thread) or you don't. There is no need to say you believe in a fictitious being. Your acts and deeds matter more.
No True Scotsman, much?
Not at all.
Want to go check how much what you described overlaps with the religious electorate?
I'll wait here.
