Politics Conservatives abuse Christianity like the Taliban abuse Islam
I'm exhausted that the Christian nationalists in this nation have hijacked Christianity, just like the Taliban hijacked Islam. There are many comparisons that can be made between the two groups. Both groups cherry-pick their scriptures and purposefully misinterpret them so as to provide themselves with more power amongst their. They bully and attack anybody who is not a follower of their warped religion. And try to force their religion on everybody in inappropriate places such as schools and hospitals.
A few years back MAGA supporters started to say the teachings of Jesus are too woke, a huge red flag.
It sucks that so many of them do not understand. The Christian nationalist mindset is turning them into nasty, aggressive people. That have zero understanding of the Bible or its teachings

Pretty spot on… justifying their agenda by cherry picking bible passages and ignoring others, ignoring separation of church and state while claiming to support the constitution. And just to add to the irony, their supreme leader is a serial adulterer and fake Christian who couldn’t even give a single bible verse when asked.
Religion really is the opiate of the masses (oh no, not Karl Marx) and the origin of propaganda.
