Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore revealed this week that many evangelical pastors have become alarmed that their Trump-loving congregants have become so militant that they are even rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ.In an interview with NPR, Moore said that multiple pastors had told h…
You helped create these people. You are these people.
Shouldn’t he be like the false prophet they warn themselves about? I mean, is not that I expected some of those dumbfucks to even know what the bible says, but fuck, the level of idolatry is astounding.
Trump embodies every single characteristic that the Bible ascribes to the antichrist. CPAC even built a golden idol of trump a few years ago.
Hmm, that wasn’t fun at all!
how do they not see that. What would take a literal money exchange booth in the church.
Maybe the origin of their beliefs has less to do with the meanings being sacred texts, and more to do with being walking, breathing, confirmation bias machines.
I told someone awhile back that in my opinion a lot of the people in positions of influence don’t really understand or appreciate the danger of playing with the type of fire supporting or indulging the ideas that Trump represents brings with it.
It is not as big a leap to go from supporting prosecuting women for having an abortion to save their lives to getting the idea that Governor Abbott has a weak bloodline, due to being in a wheelchair, and should be removed so he is not a drain on the state resources better used for the betterment of the strong as those supporters seem to think.
Essentially they severely overestimate the control they wield over the leopard that will eventually eat their face.
How the hell did I never know Greg Abbott uses a wheelchair
Kind of makes his support for such hard right policies seem even more tone deaf doesn’t it? He is literally supporting something that it is not hard to see will come for him, and those like him.
No, it makes perfect sense. It’s along the lines of Clarence Thomas siding with getting rid of Affirmative Action even though he was a recipient of it. It makes perfect sense once you remember conservatives think they are special, and live by “Fuck you, I got mine.” They got theirs, and they do not at all care that people coming after them can’t get the leg-up they got.
“They” created a monster and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
And the chickens are flying around the monster, swooping and diving and pecking, and they created a monster but they didn’t pay the extra $4.95 for the commemorative safety goggles, a decision they’ll truly regret when they realize that the monster isn’t a monster at all, it’s a mirror they’re thenmonster!s… No the monster was behind the mirror but it’s a leopard and it’s eating their faces.
Christianity has always been a very comfy place for the worst people.
I’d just like to sit in on the closed door leadership meetings where they admit they think Paul masterfully hijacked the gospels and grew Christianity into a tool for oppression. Then watch as they divise ways to fuck over their own congregations.
To the modern right, Jesus was a beta cuck socialist. Healing the sick?? Loving thy neighbor?? Sounds like some LIBERAL BULLSHIT 😤 (my wife left me)
I want that on a t-shirt. ‘Jesus was a beta cuck socialist’.
this has led him to conclude that American evangelical Christianity is now in crisis.
Just now you realized it just now.
Better late than never I guess.
Oh. What a shock. Look. I’m surprised. See:

I like the ones that don’t get crucified.
My grandmother was an amazing woman who devotes her life helping others. She was a nurse who also volunteered at old folks homes in her free time, and she donated to many good causes. She loved the teaching of Jesus. Her dad was a WWII vet, and she cared deeply about treating others with love and charity.
She passed away over a decade ago, and while I still don’t like the idea that she’s gone, I’m happy that she never had to see this all of this happening. She would have been absolutely crushed.
Similar story with many of my family members, except it ends with them turning into hateful monsters in support of Trump.
It’s horrifying to watch a loved one embrace fascism.
Sadly her being crushed might be the best case scenario. Imagine how crushed YOU would be if the propaganda weaseled its way to turning her into a trumper.
I don’t mean to disrespect her memory though. Somebody that good who actually gives of themselves rather than just hanging up crosses and American flags, would probably be one of the millions who did not buy all the recent right wing crap.
No disrespect taken. I’m sure she would agree if she could. Doing what people have been doing would have went against her core morals
Right wing conservatives and similar authoritarians - if developing into fascists - usually ditch religion at some point of that journey for practical reasons …
They aren’t ditching religion, they’re making their own with a new idol. And I’m guessing many of them don’t even realize what they’re doing - they probably still think of themselves as Christians. This is the power of Trump’s grifting.
This is how many new religions get going ironically. The key is that right now it’s a cult. It has to get out of cult status by opening up and appealing to the masses. You can see that Scientology has that problem, it’s grown but it’s not open to everyone and it still acts like a cult. It’ll be an ~~interesting ~~ terrifying hundred years if it continues…
Have they ever really liked Jesus?
Most of the Magats were always terrible people who never once lived like Jesus. Now they actually have someone’s name to say who they model their lives after
I recognize I’m insignificant in reality so let me just go ahead and adopt these beliefs that make me feel otherwise, that’s better, ahhh sweet hatred.
They’re just mad because Trump is horning in on their racket.
There was actually a study that compared Donald Trump to the biblical Antichrist and the similarities were startling. One of the ones that really fucked with me was how it said that when he shows up, the antichrist, the rivers will be joined to the Lakes, Mar-A-Lago literally means River to Lake.
Imagine you are an ancient prophet writing about the end times, and you go to describe the actual damn antichrist, and the best you can come up with is a translation of what the antichrist’s property name meant with zero context lmao.
There were actually several others but that was the one that seen the most eyebrow raising because it was a case of “What are the odds?”
Not that bad really. If you throw a bunch of things at the wall some of them will inevitably stick
Still it kept stacking up, I wish I had access to the study, I mean I used to but that was years ago I’m not sure I have the URL anymore.
It translates to “Sea-to-Lake”
Bunch of brainwashers upset that the people they brainwashed are getting brainwashed by someone else.
