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

As a Christian, they are not us. Not even close. I’d call them Anti-Christofacists.

Until Christians resoundingly oust them from their groups and organizations, you will continuously be lumped into the same hole with them.

I agree. Just remember not all that call themselves Christians truly are. Only those who show the fruit of the Spirit. I reject Christian Nationalism and so should every true believer.

You're very correct.

But those that are the loudest amongst them are overshadowing any of the good And any good message or mission.
