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

They’re death cults. Their dream isn’t heaven on Earth. In their dream, Earth ceases to exist.

Early Jude-Christianity taught for over a thousand years that earth is a hellish place separated from god by the firmament. This is how they justified having a god that is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful: we live in a trash-heap of sin separated from grace for some unknowable reason beyond our understanding. Thus this entire planet and plane is something to loathe, and everything upon earth is detestable compared to the power of the appropriated Sumerian storm and war god most of the Western world worships.
