We often point out how modern christians would crucify Jesus again today, but they also hate listening to what he said in the Bible. Take the plank out of your own eyes you sorry excuses for people.

[–] bigfondue@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Absolutely. Jesus was a middle eastern man who preached caring for the sick and poor and hated the commercialization of religion. It's like they stopped reading when they they got to Leviticus.

Tax churches, make them keep playing the victim when they need to justify just how much they are fleecing from their congregation

"Christianity is a modern, tolerant, peace loving religion! Not like those other ones!"

5 minutes in to Christian theocratic control

"KILL THE UNDESIRABLES! THEY OFFEND THE CHRISTIAN GOD'S BLESSED EYES!"

We need to sever church from state permanently.

We can never let the religious orginize as a political group after the pendulum swings back.

Watch The God Who Wasn't There - there is some guy calmly talking about murdering gays - but it's okay, because it would be the state doing it (in the trailer below).

This shit has been simmering under the surface for decades upon decades. This is why you cannot have xtians running around and saying this is a "xtian country", because eventually enough get it in their heads that it really is one and they'll set about having government infected with their crazy bullshit and telling us how to live our lives (or not live our lives at all if you are born "wrong").

I don't think people really understand when I tell them that cons are not really patriots and don't really love this country like normal Americans do. They want to turn it into something else that is the very opposite of what America is supposed to stand for.

Evangelicals are Christofascists

Period

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The Bible teaches that those people are worthy of death. They are supposed to be executed by the government. We are not to take the law into our own hands.

But, you know, if someone were to take matters in their own hands, we'll just wash out hands in innocence and act like we didn't do anything

Jesus fucking Christ.

[–] Binturong@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

These fuckos should go into one of their classrooms and view the state mandated list of commandments for what NUMBER FUCKING SIX is. These are not real Christians, or real Catholics, or even real people. If you lack the most basic tenets of humanity how do you call yourself a human? You KNOW if anybody else stepped up to the mic and said all evangelical leaders who shamelessly, GLEEFULLY exploit and extort personal wealth from their 'flock' while rocking a pure white demonic smile should be parted with the entirety of their skin and thrown in salt pits in the desert to await their God, they would probably have some shit to say. What's good for the Goose and such...

Edit: religious illiteracy showing.

Place your best now about the odds that Trump tries to make being LGBTQ a capital offense. I'm going with 10%, which is already too high for me.

It's interesting, and by interesting I mean horrifying, that these outspoken hateful religious leaders assume that just because gay people give in to the homosexual desires everybody obviously has, they will also give in to the pedophilia that everybody obviously has.

Now we know what the camps are really for.

Just like jesus taught.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Well, I hereby urge Trump to execute Stephen Falco, the evangelical preacher with the Sure Foundation Baptist Church. He believes in a demonic version of God that creates LGBT people and them judges them harshly for it. He in fact does not actually worship God, he worships the Devil. And he will burn in Hell for eternity for it. He's therefore a heretic and demon worshiper, and he deserves to be executed for blaspheming the good name of the Creator. I believe the traditional punishment is burning at the stake.

If he can advocate my execution, then I can damn well advocate for his.

Just remember folks, religion isn't spread by the quality of its truth, but rather the quality of its violence.

[–] Luouth@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

He probably takes it up the bum himself. Deflection tactics.
