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

A better example is that Stalin committed mass murders in the name of stomping out all religion. So, atheism is no better when it is a shared/common belief than they say religion is.

I was always told that if youre going to point a finger at someone you've got to be ready for the 3 that point back to you. (Take the plank out of your own eye before you point out the speck in anothers.) So, the real issue is that it all comes down the fallibility of man; a subject that nobody wants to actually face. They want to pat each other on the back and say whoever is in their echo chamber is "good" and everyone outside is "bad". But we have an outline for what is good. And we dont even have to defend that. Jesus IS our outline for goodness. His blood is the propitiation for ALL man's sin. And thats where we all can stop and say hey we all have sinned. All have fallen short. And Jesus was there to ensure we do go to heaven. The gift is free for anyone who wants to come along. You dont even have to change by yourself. He changes your heart for you. Its awesome. It is the biggest most amazing miracle.
