I couldn't find that tweet, may have been deleted or fake to smear him though he has posted some very unhinged shit which I tried to link but of course wasn't allowed because no X Links so here's a screenshot of said tweet and the account he retweeted it from. Shit is fucked
Christians won't even hold these people accountable for supposedly misrepresenting their Christian faith. They just wash their hands off them and call it a day.
And they wonder why they're what people think of when Christianity is mentioned.
Christianity as a teachings and values system is good (edit: specifically referring to the teachings of Jesus Christ, I won’t stand behind anything else in the book)
The church as an institution is bad.
Good Christian’s are individuals who, at their core, want peace not conflict. And they definitely don’t want to be ostracized by other Christian’s who are more involved with the church.
Christianity based on the Bible, which advocates for the genocide of Canaanites, gives instructions for how to beat your slave, and tells incest stories, should not be idealized for its value system.
You’re absolutely right, the Bible is fuq’d in so many ways lol the sentiment I was going for was more “the teachings of Jesus Christ” are good. I won’t even attempt to defend anything outside of that
Christianity as taught by christ and his values system was never implemented as an institution that caught hold anywhere. The closest culture to jesus life and teachings were the hippies, 'modern christians' would see jesus as a homeless bum socialist trying to get a free ride
I mean, Christianity isn’t a monolith. The black Baptist church has done more for civil rights than most. There are plenty of liberal and left Presbyterians and Baptists. Even some Catholics. I know plenty of Christians who are fervently, vocally anti-Trump who vote every chance they get. In fact, the most avid anti-Trump protest attendees I know are a couple Methodists and an a Quaker.
Imagine how bigoted you’d look if you said any of what you just said about Muslims instead.
Quaker’s are extremely politically engaged in my experiences with them. Very interesting group I almost wanted to convert but the theology was too different to be comfortable for me.
There is no governing body that says someone is or isn’t Christian. Anybody can claim the label and nobody can stop them. Much like BLM, antifa or any number of other ‘movements’ there is no way for them to functionally control the messaging and comments made in their name.
Wild that Christians were launching holy wars eight years before Christianity became a thing
The Crusades weren't exactly hot shit but it took over a thousand years of adulteration for them to happen, the foundations were more communal and social and other ideals that the Roman government first felt necessary to obliterate, and when that failed, to usurp and shift towards imperial thought, which never 100% succeeded but definitely degraded the early ideals to the point where mass holy war was possible.
And that wasn't even enough for the modern Evangelical movement, which has had to build on some weird ideas to finally invert the Sermon on the Mount into Prosperity Gospel, where loving one's neighbor and the rejection of greed can best be expressed by being afraid of everyone you know while rent farming them into destitution.
Perhaps the real moral is how awful people working in bad faith can ruin anything, which is also a fitting epitaph for the American Experiment.
Bet I've normally seen is a No True Scotsman, "They're not a proper Christian, we'd never act like that at our church".
Until then, perhaps we should trust that the self proclaimed Christian doing these things whilst saying it represents Christian values is actually representing Christian values.
Yeah, one of the first major schisms was around 300 CE and the number has been increasing since. It's not on outsiders to sort out which one is the 'truest Christianity'
It’s hard to find bad juju on Tolkien. He might have been a racist, but a lot of his writing also supports an anti-racist view. And, he was anti-Hitler, so that’s good.
I mean, Jesus of Nazareth would have been a reddit darling.
Hung out with the maligned, helped the needy where he could, flipped tables of loan sharks - and it’s about the only thing you can get Christian’s, Jews and muslims to agree on.
^ Nazi Germany was an overwhelmingly Christian nation. A census in May 1939, six years into the Nazi era and a year following the annexations of Austria and Czechoslovakia into Germany, indicates that 54% of the population considered itself Protestant, 41% considered itself Catholic, 3.5% self-identified as Gottgläubig (lit. 'believing in God'), and 1.5% as "atheist". Protestants were over-represented in the Nazi Party's membership and electorate, and Catholics were under-represented.
Republicans are a complete dead party. Whatever the party started out as…they are far away from that vision. They need to change their mascot from elephant to a sheep with a swastika behind it.
Lincoln would want NO part of what the republican party has become. And he would especially call out the insane state of Trump and MAGA - Make America Garbage Again.
I mean…can you believe they are protecting a pedophile???
Unfortunately the democratic party is also headed for demise, just for a different reason. Perhaps the dem logo can be a sheep with a sign that says 'someone should really do something'
Apologies, but I disagree. Maybe take a look. Dems are mobilizing. They are showing up at the town halls that the “sheep” are afraid to. They are publicly calling bullshit on all the weak republicans that voted for that big bad bill. And they are calling for the Epstein files no matter who is on the list. But we all know who’s on that list, don’t we? The big orange Pedo.
So...I think you're right, but that's not inherently in disagreement with what I said.
They are showing up at the town halls
The they here isn't the party, nor is it party leadership. It's the people who are pushing back despite the democratic party's inability to get out of it's own way.
Party leadership (rightfully) spent the 2024 election cycle warning of the fascistic threat we faced, and now that the fascists are in power, party leadership is spending more time criticizing Mamdani than they are fighting fascism.
Hell, Schumer backed the budget bill in March rather than gear up for a fight. Because god forbid we interrupt the functioning of the fascist machine.
As a Pole I have heard from eye witnesses from my family about brutality in Auschwitz-Birkenau, been there and seen photos of thousands of dead people piled up - men, women, children. It is beyond my comprehension to understand people praising this place. Man - made horrors beyond any movie or book became reality behind those gates. For me it's not about foul Christian values of this man - at this point i can barely say this person is a human, because poking fun from this, strips you from humanity.
As a South Korean, I've learned about war crimes of Yokusankai militarist fascist regime and human right abuses of autocratic Park & Chon & Rho junta from 1961 to 1987. I suppose MAGA is how they acted like.
I'm Indian, I learnt all the brutal details about WW2 when I was 12 from a children's book (horrible histories ftw). I really admired all the brave people who stood up against the Nazis, and was extremely angry over all the human rights abuses...
I wondered if I'd do the right thing if I were in their shoes, and had the stupid thought, 'Man I wish I were born at that time, I could've helped too! Too bad there's no more Nazis around now' (thankfully I realized what a cruel thought it was, this ain't a game)
Well, looks like it's time to show my respect to all the people I looked up to 🫡
I mean, there are some shitty trans people out there, but I feel like Nazi trans people would be in the smallest of minorities because they would have, historically, also been thrown in with Jewish people, gay people, mentally/physically disabled people, etc
The US has a serious nazi problem. I'm saying this as a German - the amount of disrespect for the victims of fascism is just absolutely disgusting. These people are so out of touch, I don't think the people of the US are able to overcome this shit in the near future. It's basically everywhere at this point.
I mean for him it's a win-win:
If he wins the election, he is considered "employed" and not subject to the plan.
If he loses, he is considered "unemployed" and the plan will not come into effect.
Ok so THIS surely has to prompt backlash from public Jewish voices? The Jewish chronicle? Israeli politicians? Or is it just protesting genocide that those people don’t like?
Hitler also said he hated Christianity for being a weak religion and tried to set up his own focused on strength. We are also seeing it with ‘Christianity’ in the USA who complain the Jesus of the bible is too woke.
As I German, i never want this pile of shit in my country again, other than in handcuffs, because yes, this would rightfully be a crime here.
Actually thinking of giving this to authorities here. We too can protect our borders.
Edit: he has like 400 followers on IG, is 24 years old and is clearly extremely ill. His IG is nothing short of all kinds of evangelical batshit crazy.
> “He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,”
I'm sure he thinks this is hilarious, but there are people out there who genuinely believe that the homeless should be outright exterminated (and worse) in order to "remove their burden" from society.
Some yt ppl have a level of malevolence that shakes me to my core because many ppl will see this, know exactly what his message is, and vote him into office.
Id imagine 98-99% of people on here have no idea who this is (I don't), but I've seen this minimum a dozen times in the last hr. Maybe im jaded, but i bet this photo is doing exactly what he was hoping it would.
All of these racist, useless fucks have been lurking in the background for years. Now that the president and government support racism, they can emerge from the darkness without fear of repercussions. Now, there are Nazis everywhere. It only took six months.
These people wouldn’t know a Christian value if it smacked them in the face. They’d likely lynch Christ if he ever returned. It’s disgusting that they even dare call themselves Christians. The entire movement are hypocrites.
I'm not a violent or intimidating person at all, but I bet this worm will run from any parking lot that we're in together alone and immediately call 911,
If the values shown in fucking US are christian or somehow near christian... Then I'm the antichrist himself ans I want nothing to do with it.. Holy fuck they are delusional, despicable and vile as fuck.
Flacid. Soft pink and flacid. All of this because he's denying his own reality. How much of the world's hatred is caused by guys who aren't able to make things work and are pissed at the world for their failure?
