There is still hope that those pastors get smart and actually voice against Trump. From a Christian perspective, Trump leaves a lot to be desired. Just point out a sin or two of the orange-haired idiot in each of your weekly sermons to make the congregation see the light. You will not run out of fresh sins until the next decade.
That’s how you get to “evangelicals think Jesus is a leftist pussy”.
It is too late, conservative media has created a monster that even the honest religious leaders cannot control
I don’t think so. The flock will migrate to a different church more in tune with what they want to believe.
If Jesus came along today, they’d cast him out as a socialist and probably kill him in a botched police raid.
There’s no question that he would be apprehended and faced with terrorism charges.
“He’s tuning the other cheek!”
“Stop resisting!"
I’m 100% convinced that if Christ came today the majority of white American Christians would call him a demon and one of them will end up shooting him. Especially if he came back as a man of color that spread anti-capitalist ideas and hung out with the poor, sick, and unwanted. They’d never, ever, tolerate that.
IF Christianity is true, a large amount of souls of self-proclaimed “Christians” are in danger of damnation. They are actually doing Satan’s work for him. The issue are the ones 100% certain they are “saved” while spouting racist, evil things at the same time. How do you talk to people like that? How do you convince them that they are in fact 100% wrong and likely going to the same hell they claim everyone else is going to? I’m an atheist, so most wouldn’t even take me seriously.
That’s basically what Jesus said.
So what you are saying is that now is the time to invest in gold AR-15 necklaces?
Healed the sick
Conservative Christians : “Healthcare is communism!”
Welcomed weary travelers
Conservative Christians : “Send them back to their own country!”
Forgives other people he believes goes against the teachings of god and cares for them
Conservative Christians : “Your love is not natural and you shouldn’t exist!”
They just want to feel like they are righteous and good
You forgot the best past. He hung out with a group of men and one woman, and the one woman wasn’t any of the men’s girlfriend. Conservative Christians would perhaps thought this was an unnatural arrangement.
Yeah, that’s what I always think. For me (German), Christianity is mostly acceptance of other people, empathy, caring for people who have it worse than you, loving your next, etc. Which in policies is… being for welfare, donating, accepting LGBTQ+ and supporting them, etc.
Evangelicals have always confused me because they are against everything Jesus stood for.
I mean look what happened to MLK Jr…
The FBI would probably investigate him and then he’d be murdered by white supremacists.

Jesus was a Jew.
say this to some christians and watch their brains melt.
Nope.
Had a couple of conversations with randoms about this. They know and don’t care. I guess Jesus is “one of the good ones”.
by “some” christians, I meant “certain” christians. I should have been more clear.
I’ve heard Christians claim he was the first Christian. Which… I guess means he worshipped himself?
So many older people tend to wonder why the younger generation do not support religion yet this headline definitely should give you a clue.
Imagine thinking the teachings of a man who is supposed to the son of the literal God they worship is weak.
Imagine the disrespect those people are throwing when they insult the man who died for your sins according to their faith.
If I were God, I most certainly would not let those people into heaven because clearly they don’t understand that you aren’t supposed to absolutely disrespect his teachings through Jesus if you want to go up and not down.

Technically, all Christians are Jews for Jesus.
I misread that as Jaws for jesus and now i’m oddly disappointed
I’m not familiar with Raw Story, can anybody confirm their reliability in general? This article seems solid but the name makes me think of all of those weird right wing “news” websites. Looking over it a bit it definitely doesn’t seem to be one of those though so idk.
I take all articles with a grain of salt. Look at the person who wrote the article, look at what they post and think for yourself if that person has bias or not.
Most of the time people will have a bias which is normal for humans, we tribilize into groups.

ahem…
Yes?
Information is information until more is learned.
And there’s also Occam’s razor. MAGA shitheads are hateful. This is probably true on that alone. But I’ve also seen a couple other articles of Christian’s alarmed at the same trend. The truthiness is strong. I can feel it.

I mean, every Satanist is also a Christian in a way.
Modern satanists don’t believe in Satan or Jesus

man I came here for funny not politics
Yea, I hate Trump as much or more as anybody, but this really feels off-topic and too political, even for a shitposting community.
If there’s one thing everyone can say about Trump, it’s “this guy isn’t on my side”.
It just takes longer and comes as more of a surprise to some than others.
Well, some say money talks, and I’m sure Trump’s on the side of the Dollar 😛
But considering how many people he have thrown under the bus so far, it’s amazing how many that are still waiting in line
I can’t see how any lawyers work for him without prefacing any contracts with “money up front”.
It’s a bit refreshing, actually. Trump is the apotheosis of American christianity.
Indeed.
Lol
“Jews” for Jesus and Messianic “Judaism” were invented to lure Jews into Christianity. They are Christians who want to be quirky.
Every Messianic Jew I’ve ever met has been born into that religion. Maybe there are some Jews who convert and become Messianic Jews, but I think it’s rare.
