I swear Iâd not seen the term âchristofascismâ until this year. Itâs an apt term for all the talk about the new speaker of the house, rolling back of Roe v Wade, banning books and increased persecution of LGBT+ rightsâŠ
But if I was Christ Iâd be pretty darn upset right now. I talk about love and tolerance and peace and youâre going to use my name to make shitty, power grabbing, political, oppressive moves? The fuckin audacity. Iâd be flipping tables and calling out the hypocrites.
I know itâs a conversation as old as time. I also donât believe Christianâs should be able to point at it and say âyeh but thatâs not MY Jesus.â Doesnât fucking matter, theyâre identifying as a You so if You donât do something about it then itâs as good as doin it yourself.
Sigh.
You might be interested in âThe Law of Love and the Law of Violenceâ by Tolstoy. He makes the same argument, that most Christians are terrible at following the actual teachings of Christ.
Thereâs also Dostoevskyâs story âThe Grand Inquisitorâ from The Brothers Karamazov, in which Jesus returns only to be told that the church no longer needs him or his ideals.

Great example! Just read the book recently and loved it. The whole tavern conversation between the two brothers was very philosophically dense and insightful.
Why give a flying fuck to follow such when forgiveness, as a protestant, is a forever freebie if you ask but once and get that death promise.
Alternatively you can simply accept that the mouth runner will rape your kids and thatâs just fine.
Protestantism is heresy

Theyâre both lies. Catholics ainât special. There are more changes to the new testament than there are letters.
Oh and whatâs true to you?
Facts.
What a specific answer
Better than nothing but proven an edit since the claim with no substantial reality.
