Southern evangelicals love their racism so much they'll sacrifice their Christianity for it in a heartbeat.

Nothing surprising about that at all.

They don't think they sacrificed their Christianity. To them this is Christianity, a means to be superior.

In their view: "Why else would you be Christian?"

Seen as a European (and although I'm not christian), US evangelicals have nothing in common with christianity. Except maybe the symbolism.

It's because they schismed specifically to redefine Christianity in terms of pro-slavery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham was part of it too, as proof that God wanted only White people to dominate all others who were cursed by him forever.

It's literally where the nazis got a lot of their stuff from, Hitler mentioned Jim Crow as the model Germany needed to follow in Mein Kampf.

The more I find out about religion in the US, the more insane it is.

If there was a god, she'd never have done that.

If I believed in the Bible, I'd say DJT is the very definition of the Antichrist.

Not that I believe in Satan either.
