They’re not real Christians

Idk they got the pro slavery, pro genocide, women as property, hate the gays, worship an abusive authoritarian parts down pat. Their god sucks, and mythical Jesus claimed to be that god.

Dooms day death cult leader (b-but he's a nice guy!!) Jesus wanted his cult to give all their stuff away before he returned in their lifetimes, otherwise that advice is stupid. NOBODY does that.

He's a bit late and utterly failed to fulfill jewish messiah prophecy within his own very Abrahamic DLC expansion unoriginal book of shitty fables written entirely by people who never met him. Assuming one or a collection of dooms day death cult leaders even existed historically at all as described. Big IF. No doubt some did, vaguely.

Paul tripped balls and made a cult that wasn't popular at all until Dictatorship Rome picked it up and added eternal punishment lore as a nice addon that wouldn't appeal to a dictator to control a population I'm sure.

Bummer.

No True Scotsman. The bible contradicts itself constantly, you can use it to mean whatever you want. That's why religion is a tool of control and always has been.

I'm sick to death of this oft repeated narrative online and that inspired my rant.

MAGA is Christian. I don't care if that makes other Christians uncomfortable. You should be.

I believe they have faith; I believe they believe in Christ. However, their actions are misaligned with Jesus’ word. They need to be reminded of why that religion “changed western civilization.”

I believe at least a few are totally grifters. There’s probably like, I dunno, 45 to 47 grifters?

Seems like a good range, averages 46, which is good because that means it includes plagiarism

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

There could be 86 for all I know.

Those numbers are all random and mean nothing.

They got free market Jesus on their side.
