You mean their made up fake Christian values. If an actual Christian saw what these creeps consider Christian values, they'd be very upset. Pretty sure infidelity, bribery, cheating, fraud, name calling, mockery, gambling, false worship, casting out of strangers and all the rest is exactly contradictory to the book they claim to hold in reverence.

I have rarely seen a nation further from "christian values" than the United States at this moment.
Y'all Qaeda.
Your god deserves to be skull fucked to death. Along with your neo nazi Christian subsect.
Theocracies must die.
Bullshit. Trump or his officials are not Christians. Dictator is cosplaying as christian but is secretly the anti christ
In his book, "It Can't Happen Here" (1935), Sinclair Lewis wrote, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying the cross."
Only look like 80 years but gonna real, I didnt think the anti christ would be soo like obvious about it. Humanity had such a low bar to overcome.
Christianity has been used to control people for as long as it existed.

our morality is God’s morality
That's because you invented your idea of God to match your own prejudices.
Do I believe what God believes?
Humans have beliefs and opinions. If you think that which creates and sustains the universe has beliefs and opinions, it strongly suggests you're overly likening it to yourself. Once again, you're projecting your own prejudices.
Just another case of assholes inventing God in their own image and claiming it went the other way round.

Oh, not these values.
Right wing American politics has made a mockery out of Christianity.
Unironically how these people read that list:
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Read: the poor in spirit die first.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Read: We will kill those who mourn
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth.
Read: Once the greenhouse gasses are no longer tolerable. We going to Mars, suckas
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Read: killing those who oppose me is what is righteous.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Read: we don't even bully the Mexican guy on our squad, he's pretty cool guy
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Read: white
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the Sons of God.
Read: kill those who oppose you until there is no more opposition and you will become Jesus.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Read: God needs me to kill ANTIFA
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.
Read: you have my permission to kill the infidels.
Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you...
Read: don't question your mission. You and all your pedo friends can fuck teenage girls or something, after you die for this cause.
...yep. those are them alright.

What did Jesus have to say about immigrants?
What did Jesus have to say about taxes?
What did Jesus have to say about retaliation?
What did Jesus have to say about money and what should be done with it if you have it?
What did Jesus say you should do with everything you own?
Jesus was a Communist. Own nothing. Share everything.

And the head of their entire structure has never been religious and, in fact, matches their description of the anti-Christ.

This guy is an Atheist, running a scam, as are MOST religious leaders. They absolutely do not believe in God, or any kind of an afterlife, because if they did, they would NEVER support the obviously heinous behavior of MAGA. They would be too defensive of their immortal soul. The fact that they are jumping in with full support of MAGA's obviously, cartoonishly evil agenda, proves who they really are.
Religion is a business, and should be treated like one. There is nothing in the Constitution that gives churches some special benefit. In fact, it literally says that the government should not be supporting any religion. So why does the government support religion by making it tax exempt?
EVERY church should be investigated, and most should be abolished as illegal tax avoidance scams. The rest should be heavily taxed, with the tax revenue earmarked for the public good, not military or law enforcement in any way. It should ALL go into the fund for Social Safety Nets, including universal health care.
And it should also be strongly regulated, with their donations being public record. Tithes should be heavily regulated, and the money fully accounted for. All churches should be operated with the same legal obligations as any other business.

I'm not christian, but I think my moral values of not committing heinous acts are superior to the Christian values of those acts being ok if you ask sky daddy forgiveness afterwards.

And frankly, yes, we are going to impose it upon you
No, you fucking ARE NOT.
this is how we should run the United States of America by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible.
You can go ahead and go fuck yourself pal, because this is a secular nation. Besides, the "morality" in the Bible is a horrible model for morality, sorry.

You mean all the screeching about "they're forcing the gay/trans agenda down our throats" was projection this entire time?
The "I'm not homophobic! You can do what you want but just dont force it on me or my kids" crowd, everybody.
Yeah, we know! The Christian Right is dead-set on rolling back the rights of the women, same-sex couples, LGBTQ kids, and other minority groups. Think I'm exaggerating? Think of the Dobbs decision.

Start with Trump I guess? Good luck forcing people into your lifestyle when your own people don't even follow it.
These people either rape children, or support people that do.
"the morality we can find in the Bible"
It's ok to own human beings as property: "As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves. You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you and from their families who are with you who have been born in your land; they may be your property. You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property."
Its ok to rape young girls (is God in the Epstein files?): "So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man, but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man."
It's ok to kill babies: Thus says the Lord of hosts: "I will punish the Amalekites for what they did in opposing the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt. Now go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”
When David had an affair and had the woman's husband killed, God killed his baby and had his wives publically raped: "Thus says the Lord: I will raise up trouble against you from within your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in broad daylight. For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel and in broad daylight.”
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Emphasis mine.
Christian nationalists cannot fucking stand that you don’t share in and support their delusion, that you’re not subject to their little club, and that their power dynamics cannot legally bind you. They’re crazy because their beliefs do not align with reality, and the founders knew that they are crazy. It was the first thing they thought of when first amending the constitution after our government was formed.
It will never be enough for them to simply practice their own religion for themselves, their own families, or even their own associations. The flock must grow, by coercion if possible, by force if necessary. The great invisible hand of the “savior” reaches from beyond the grave through the raised arms of voting supplicants, cloaked in peace while sowing righteous fury and stark judgement with starry-eyed innocence and empty smiles.
How funny is it that infinite, omnipotent, unknowable God happens to want exactly the same things as rich white American men? “God” is just convenient excuse for stripping away rights and projecting ego.
Here’s something that’s really hard to believe: That this bullshit still works.

Makes sense. We all remember the part of the Bible where literally Satan tempted Jesus with authority over all the kingdoms of the earth if he would only bow down, and Jesus said "Cool, now I can make everyone live the way they should. You got yourself a deal, Satan."

"Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor" Mark 10:21
"You cannot serve both God and money." Luke 16:13
"If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." Matthew 5:39
"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you," Luke 6:27
You think you know what god believes? Always trying to impose it on others, even if they've told you no. Sounds like god derangement syndrome!
How about fuck you? I dont need your book to be a better person than you.
It will be a small, hollow victory.
But I hope I can hear the MAGAs cry, when they find out "Christian Nation" means they can't get booze and pr0n anymore.
I once trained a guy who worked with some of the Saudi royals. He was really cool, wasn't Saudi (Jordanian, the poor Arabs without oil), and wasn't a practicing Muslim. The subject of alcohol came up, and I said that it was illegal over there, and he said "Not for the royal family. They have rooms filled with cases of booze. I've seen it, often. The people can't drink, but the royal family definitely does."

1797 - Treaty of Tripoli. Unanimously voted on and signed by the 2nd President of the United States, John Adams:
"[t]he Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion."[4]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Tripoli
Christo-fascists go "Nuh unh! It's not in the Arabic text!"
To which the correct answer is "Yes, it's the ENGLISH version that was voted on and signed by President Adams."
Forcing Jews to have Christian values is NOT Anti Semetic! Anti Semetic is when you DONT Bomb Children!
-Republicans, The ADL AND AIPAC!
The unfortunate downside to religious freedom is anyone can turn their insane values into a cult and spread it largely uninhibited.

I feel like that one line from Kingsman (the good one, right before the fight scene in the church) is appropriate here.
Harry Hart: [to bigoted church lady] I'm a Catholic whore, currently enjoying congress out of wedlock with my black Jewish boyfriend who works at a military abortion clinic. So, hail Satan, and have a lovely afternoon, madam.
Sharia Law then.
Nah man. Separation of church and state is better.
