Jesus was an anti-war, anti-capitalist, inclusivity-preaching socialist who gave free healthcare to the sick and free food to the hungry. Maybe they should crack open that book they always talk about.
But if they open that book and actually read and understand it, how will all the churches that warp that message make money and further spread their hatred and discrimination? Won’t someone please think of these super important churches and their totally-not-coincidentally wealthy pastors? (/s in case it wasn’t obvious)

For the record, a remarkably small percentage of pastors are actually wealthy. Lots of churches have a pretty poor financial outlook these days, and many pastors struggle.
That’s not to say there aren’t rich assholes fleecing (pun intended) their flock, and obviously fuck televangelists, but it’s not the norm for a pastor to be wealthy.
Edit: (Not disagreeing with the stuff about modern Christianity failing utterly to understand itself though.)

Then they’d risk not believing anymore, and a lot of Christians are aware of this on some level so they choose ignorance.
Speaking as one, a lot of ex-Christian atheists started their journey by simply wanting to know more about their religion. Then somewhere along the way they realized it was getting harder to believe. But once you peel back that outer layer you can’t easily put it back.
As someone that was raised in the church, I totally understand. My parents really didn’t like my curiosity, which of course fostered further skepticism.
But keep in mind that the assumption of literacy is not necessarily accurate.

The problem it’s not what the bible says, the problem it’s what they think it says. Religion have interpreted it to make money and make people religious zombies.
These days they are being taught that “meek” is a synonym for “strength”. They’ve been twisted around so much they could read Jesus’s words and take the exact opposite meaning.
Auto TL;DR:
Morons continue to exist.

whose pussy would jesus grab?
His prostitute wife? Or whatever she was.
Mine, if I’m lucky 🤤
“I believe he believes in God and our military men and women, in our country, in America,” said Tammy Houston of New Lexington, Ohio.
It’s truly depressing how thoughtless these people are. Every one of those points is easily disputed by doing bit of research. But the sort of “research” they do is going down conspiracy rabbit holes, not reading reputable sources.
From 2020 onward, I have nothing but contempt for a large swath of my fellow citizens. I used to simply disagree or dislike. But they’ve really revealed themselves to be absolute shitbags. Fucking monsters. And completely unable to think for themselves, to the detriments of everyone else.
I remember reading about flat-earthers in 2018 and being upset about the idea. My then partner said I was over-reacting and it doesn’t affect me. “These people vote,” I said. How I’d love to run into her today and ask whether stupid conspiracy theories have had an effect on us.
loool president “grab them by the pussy” would probably catch fire the moment he sets foot into a church
Rape and fraud are their values?
In Jesus’ name mind you. It’s all for the greater good.
Yeah… The president’s backers don’t share values with Jesus… But they also don’t share values with Trump… Trump just pretends to share their values in order to get what he wants…
If they go to most mega churches, their pastor makes Trump look grounded and intelligent and they’ve never actually heard anything from the new testament.
and they’ve never actually heard anything from the new testament
Except Revelation. Shithead churches tend to be very into Revelation
Dogma and superstition (aka religion) are a plague in modern society
I more and more believe that religion should be treated like a mental illness.
If you told people that you heard voices in your head, they’d put you on meds. If you tell them Jesus spoke to you they’ll put you in charge of a country.

Jesus told be Trump is a dick
