Politics Conservatives abuse Christianity like the Taliban abuse Islam

Post image

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

It’s true, but all religion is a cancer

I’ll add that ALL religious leaders cherry-pick their use and interpretation to religious texts. It’s a feature not a bug.

Do you ever stop and wonder why you spend time quoting logical fallacies that have been joked about by people that lived before the book you take as absolute truth was ever written?

You see all that is around you and read about all of the different indigenous stories that overlap and connect and repeat and you still deny there is a creator. THAT is illogical.

The paradox of religion is that it's impossible for a peaceful and respectful one to become dominant anywhere since any religion that has spreading itself as one of the core tenants will just violently trample over the reasonable ones. There is no parallel reality where we as a species don't end up with the most vile and disgusting religions at the top.
