My friends will divide Christians, as if that is a worthy process, into good and bad Christians, not stopping at, they all have the same thinking disorder. The god idea is ridiculous. So the label Christian is all encompassing when evaluating rationality. We don't need to know their political ideology to understand, they lack reasoning skills. We can just accept, some humans are quite gullible and do not require evidence to accept ideas. The god idea is just something that can be accepted like invisible Universe Farting Pixies. The god idea is just empty, fill in the blank, whatever you wish it to be. So we have crazy humans pretending their own personal god idea is true, real, and gives them the ability to tell you what their personal god wants from you. The god idea is the problem. Humans are stupid, it isn't their fault. If you want bad human ideas to go away, you attack the ideas. The god idea is the most dangerous idea in strong need of attack. Look at what the god idea is doing in Israel/Gaza. Without the god idea, none of that would be happening.

You do realize that the practice of religion is very broad spectrum of ideas, and is mostly personal. As an example, charity is a very important part of religious practice. it is only the exceptions that make it to the news. Going to funerals helped me to find warmth and comfort, in times of emotional pain. I came to an understanding in recent years, that the Love, that the deceased expressed in their life, was a topic at every funeral. So now I understand, that the purpose of every one is to be a channel for some sort of Love. Religions should open the doors to express greater love. But that is not news.

@@yurei8 sadly, religions spend most of their time trying to enforce their rules on people whether they are believers or not and to oppress people who don't fit their image of what people should be like.

Actually, the tax breaks are not unfair. Every 401(c) organization, scientific or religious, gets the same tax breaks.

I guess that's unfair, but probably for the best. Tax breaks are actually a good thing, because it gives the government a means of control.

No person who is going through IVF treatment, and has created embryos with the person of their choice, should be denied the right to carry those embryos to term if they can possibly do so; if the sad event of a miscarriage happens, there should be NO PUNISHMENT AT ALL for the loss of any embryo(s). No one goes through the difficulty of IVF treatment for unwanted children; the embryos are wanted, the parents _want_ the embryos to become children, and due to medical circumstances no one asked for, IVF is medically their best hope of becoming parents. Don't the christian nationalists want people to become parents??? I wonder what the statistics are on how many christian nationalists have undergone IVF treatment?

Then Republican president Reagan undermined America's middle class and lower class citizens in favor of moneyed interests and corporations.

Well said. It's frustrating to me how difficult it is to point this out to people.

One person told me that she didn't think God would allow someone corrupt to speak in His name and falsely leverage His authority like that.

@@CMA418 So appease them? These people have a goal set in mind and they have made it a zero sum game.

He's coming ... thank god.

@@1MarkKeller It doesn’t have to be viewed in such binary terms as “mock” or “appease”. It won’t matter if we are right if we are not effective at communicating it to anyone other than those who agree with us.

@@ron88303 You mean the ruler of this world? Yes, he wants fake Christian Trump to win too. He also wants you to make more babies, as that increase his chances of getting souls. 👹

America has had Christian BS law for the last 500 years and NO Sharia law is not coming, Xenophobia alive in this channel, pathetic.

Mosaic Law

You knew Sharia law was coming where? It has zero chance of happening in the US and the fear of it happening is coming exclusively from American Islamophobes. In the US, it was always going to be some sort of Christian authoritarianism. They are the only religious extremists in the US that have any number or power.

Canon Law. The Christian version is called Canon Law.

@@DivianceCanon law is applicable to only the Catholic Church. Since Christian Nationalists are for the most part Protestant, Canon Law isn’t it either.

I'd settle for a secession that they keep threatening us with.

I am with you in spirit - if you study history - expect to be horribly disappointed .

@@pjpredhomme7699 there is a difference now. A LARGE amount of people, at least in this country, are not "religious". Look into the "nones".

my personal favourite is the question of why someone would expect respect and civility for knowingly and willingly associating with organisations literally responsible for mass murders and in many cases the mass graves of children. when you inevitably pop the cult information bubble you give them the receipts. surprisingly effective on the ones not personally profiting from the grift at least. even got a knock on deconversion using just the crusades, apparently they conveniently skip that bit in revisionist history. at least there is hope that not all of them are actually knowingly cruel, apathetic, sociopaths.

But they will get it.

They're actually very generous, just to their own interests. The Kochs have actually donated quite a bit to WNC groups over the decades. Just because they don't believe that stuff doesn't mean they don't find it useful.

They're on strike. An'strike an'strike an'strike an'strike an'strike an'strike.

@@kellywalker1664 😂😂😂 Maybe they didn't understand the instructions because she was “speaking in tongues.”

Theirs, of course.

​@@shizuwolfsome foul, debased, twisted mutation of the “protesting” variety. They don't want a pope.

@@shizuwolf whatever the specific christian nationalist follows. Of course it varies with every person you ask, that's the punchline...

@@crystlelakefarm1254 _We all technically have the same God, though_ That statement assumes the existence of _A_ gawwud. Provide evidence for the existence of ANY gawwud. Only after that can you proceed to assign that gawwud to anyone.
