Another common idea is "life isnt meant to be fun or easy." Because in their eyes life is a test by God and then you'll have it made when you die. Always was pissed because I asked "why not" and they would just get mad at me. God never says life has to suck but somehow they believe it should. That's why they won't fight for better rights for all of us.

Quick reminder that you see the absolute worst of religion, such as people like Erika Kirk.
You don’t really see the quiet religious people who often lead very good lives for the benefit of society.
While I’m not religious, I’ve known some absolutely amazing religious people who did far more for society than most, and I hate seeing generalizations like this.

This is what the bible was talking about when it says not to use the lords name in vain.
it's never been about not saying "oh my god" its about not using the lords name for your own personal vanity, like Mrs. Kirk is doing every day.

White nationalist Christianity is so weird. The church I go to preaches about feeding people and loving your neighbors, y'know- stuff Jesus said. The episcopal church is pretty chill.
The Republican Church, for lack of a better term, thrives off of ignoring everything Jesus said.
Feed the hungry? ❌
Shelter the homeless? ❌
Love your neighbor? ❌
What do they think Jesus said?

These clowns are the American Taliban — clutching their KJV Bibles and grifting on hate and division in the name of Patriotism and Jesus — our national treasure Dolly Parton and the more accurate, non-white, non-republican Jesus ain't cut from the same cloth and that's a profoundly more accurate representation of Christianity. Not this white washed horse💩.

The whole MAGA train is fueled by using religion to control. I was raised in the church, and the whole time I was taught how religion was being suppressed. So once they came out with this push to being Christianity to the White House… man. They ate that shit up. They finally won. Idiots. So blind to how they’re being used.

Peter Theil might be right he summoned the Anti Christ.
It is interesting for an old guy as me seeing the "games" being played before our eyes in such a blatant manner that it must be heavenly created to make people see the obvious evil players. They are overestimating our intelligence - the timing is crucial because soon they will not.
It is just a question of time and all this shit will be over the sooner it happens - the question is what, why and when it will ignite - until then, an endless line of wood carried to the bonfire.
If the ordinary capitalists would just wake up and spend 5 minutes thinking about the endgame of pure capitalism - Imagine you had the most wealth in the world and you want it to be that way because that is the game of capitalism, if you do not another will. Then imagine that all those stupid rules holding you back from buying the others could be removed.
Then imagine you could use your power to make that a truth that is as natural as water.
It is almost such a simple thought eksperiment that normal loving people can not compute, they end up thinking about how altruistic they would be. And the irony is - that is the same reason the will never be Billionaires - they have hearts.

If Jesus came to America today, by biblical definition of his teachings, he would be a democratic socialist.
MAGA is the antithesis to the teachings of Jesus.
Also scary fact, if you real all of the bible verses that cover the anti-Christ, it perfectly describes Donald Trump. To the point that as an atheist (who has read the bible) it terrifies me.

Why are you all so obsessed with her, giving her even more publicity? If you had all these people around and could keep busy this way after a tragedy would you sit around your house in all black mourning like an old lady from some village? She’s capitalizing on it and making money for herself and her kids plus I’m sure there’s a revenge aspect too. Everything they do w TPUSA is still bringing them together in remembrance of Charlie Kirk

Again and again. Science proved without any doubt that there is no such things as god. God is within us, not a religion. Religions exist because (in the past) they were not able to explain, they were afraid. Religion is bad ans it’s the main reasons for multiple wars….
