Yeah, because Christian Nationalism has never been about Christianity, it’s about ethnic cleansing. They just wrapped their message in religion to make it more palatable.
You are more likely to learn about Christianity from an atheist than a Christian
I am not religious, but I think the following phrase suits “the devil will quote scripture if it suits his purpose.”
They think they benefit from the controlling systems and preserve their “right” to punch down on others. The same toxic patterns in many families, sports, frats, military, most supernatural groups and authoritarian politicians. All hierarchal, conditional belonging, stuck in dualism, obey those above until it’s your turn to punch down.
That is unhealthy and the real truth does set us free from all that nasty baggage, transcend the ego and actualize in this life. The harder path is to have real courage and integrity in life, critical thinking and not just do as told and conform for conditional belonging. It’s easier to stay in dualism as told and repeat the tribal indoctrination.
The inversion of values What’s presented as virtue: obedience, conformity, and shame-based compliance, is actually corrosion of the self. And what’s demonized: questioning, autonomy, authentic desire, is what genuine integrity requires.
This is the deepest form of control because it colonizes a person’s moral sense. You internalize shame not for doing harm, but for being yourself. You learn to call your own suppression “goodness.” The system doesn’t have to force you anymore; you police yourself.
Woah now… get out of here with logic and reason. Those are some hard pills to swallow
I’m unfortunately in the states, and I’ve been saying it for years. It will be a hoot when these fire breathing alphas actually get their “Christian Nation,” then find out they can’t get booze or even softcore pr0n anymore.
They’ll just resort to CSAM and pedophilia
People who identify as Christians are usually hypocrites. The majority are Christian in name only and only go to church on special occasions and maybe not even then. Most of them know very little about the Bible and actually reading the Bible is what turns people to atheism. I’m not sure I believe that there is anyone on earth who genuinely believes that the Bible is 100% factual and the word of God. it would be a terrifying thing to actually believe given how evil and inconsistent the God portrayed in the Bible is. People who claim to believe it pick and choose and make excuses for the parts they don’t like
Young Earth Creationists are dumb enough to fall for it. It’s truly scary.
When Richard Dawkins called himself “culturally Christian” I threw up a little in my mouth.
Western civilization gets its guilt/innocence culture due in no small part to Xtian influence.
It’s the response to be expected with the arrival of thousands of Muslim refugees; Islamic fundamentalists encourage Christian fundamentalists, and they all fuel each others fervor.
Abrahamics all share the same bloodthirsty hateful core, all inspired (and even commanded) by the Bible and Koran. Violence is the fundamental, intractable result.
(and both of these faiths are unfathomably wealthy, yet we still must pay their share of taxes)
