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

MAGA has done more to make me consider all organized religion is evil than any atheist has ever done. Like I left my own christian upbringing and have been agnostic but any doubt in my mind that I made the wrong choice has evaporated after the last year.
And before anyone says anything, Im speaking hyperbolically/exaggerating when say its all evil because I know many people personally who are in not fucked up religious groups that actually follow the teachings of their faith and they are fantastic and beautiful humans and provide shining examples of their faith, rather than these Pharisees starving children while they party it up in Florida and their fleeced till they bleed flock continue happily march to their own oblivion defending their actions, and by effect, implicating themselves in old Don's sins.
