Good thing there aren't many Christians in Britain, and that their numbers are declining.

[–] la508@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

This is literally just their normal Islamophobia gussied up in an attempt to make it sound like something more socially acceptable. Stephen Yaxley-Lennon's already tried pretending to have been reborn in prison and is spamming his Nazi rallies with prayer. It's the Victimhood step of the fascists' playbook. "We're just simple God-fearing Christians and them there scary towel heads are coming to exterminate us!"

Gen Z has actually become more religious than previous generation.

These guys priestly look like the characters that portray a racist, secret Nazi agent in a lot of movies

You can't convince me this isn't a satire site.

Its an export from England, not an import.

As a white boy deep in the south region of the US where evangelical Christian is the only Christianity I suggest to you, as a person who has lived in this shithole, that my brothers and sisters in Great Britain nuke this shit from orbit and pour gasoline on the smoking embers. We thought this would not happen here but we let the fucking nuts congregate and feed off each other. It all started when Eisenhower let Billy Graham in the White House because, " what can a little prayer breakfast hurt?" And no one said a thing because why offend " good Christian" people. Stop it now while the chickens are still in the hen house.

i'm fascinated by the how and why of the fall of christianity in the UK after the 2nd world war. btw the war itself probably contributed but the collapse was steady over the 30 years after it

so the uk is already reacting to the new religious groups like islam and the evangelican african churches and these new idiots will be dealt with in a similar fashion

we are scientist atheists that must protect our democracy and that is not going to change

[–] hanrahan@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago

Yeah, the Tolerance paradox, tolerate these toxic shit stains and this is how you end up

[–] X@piefed.world 63 points 2 days ago (8 children)

As someone raised in evangelical Christianity and fought my way out, this guy’s not fucking kidding, and neither is he being overly dramatic. I suggest you act with frightening speed and ruthless efficiency, leaving no blade of grass untouched nor smallest nook or cranny overlooked. As you act, do not waver in your fortitude, and do not for even a moment to allow yourselves to consider that you may be acting “a bit rash.” It is imperative that you cease immediately the spread of this pestilence.

As a white boy from Idaho, I second this. We ran their first wave out in the early 00s, but the next wave trying to create a white nationalist haven was far worse than the old ones who contented themselves with cosplay Conderacy/Nazism and only left their compounds once a year for a parade. There’s no shame anymore, no edgelord “I’m a Nazi” attitude. They’ve normalized the doctrine by being average neighbors rather than radical weirdos in a bunker. They’re invading our local offices, school boards, city councils, and other minor offices. One challenged our governor (a Regan-esque pos but not total MAGA) and while he lost, still got 30% of the vote. They’re buying up our remote farming communities and turning them into ideological enclaves. They’re well educated, and many are former cops or military. Out here it’s creating a strange bedfellow situation. We’ve got urban leftists and libs, east state Mormons who are starting to recognize MAGA evangelicals aren’t their ally, and the 2A an-cap libertarians who hate the Feds. Fun times. But seriously, don’t let these people get a foot in the door at any level.

Can not upvote this enough. This man speaks the truth, and reason. He is not crazy. I've had a similar experience, and if anything, I think this isn't raising the warning flag high enough for what could happen in the UK here.

Britain has been Christian Nationalist for centuries

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

These cretins were kicked out of England because they tried so valiantly to tell everyone how to act as a Christian. Then, they came to the new world claiming persecution. All these butthurt babies are now gonna do a repeat. 400 years later here we are.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Where you gonna send em this time? Mars?

They love god so much -- why not arrange the meeting?

ahh OceanGate cruise

[–] ccunix@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (12 children)

As an actual bible believing Christian, I would like to officially distance myself from all this nonsense.

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Once again being a person deep in the evangelical South in the US I have people who say they are good Christians over look all this and go along to get long. It is time for those " good Christians" to open their mouths and start denouncing this.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course you would. That would keep you from having to fix it.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago

TBF, I don't think they can fix it any more than we can.

Religion is a business plan wrapped up in propaganda.

[–] ruekk@fedinsfw.app 9 points 1 day ago

No, your kind should take responsibility

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Bible Believing Christian? Gross.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (8 children)

None of them follows Jesus's teachings, they just abuse his name.

Oh shit. You lot need to nip these assholes in the bud.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Thats exactly what they did last time, ship all the fundy religious nuts overseas, the Massachusetts bay colony was full of religious exiles deemed too "extra" for post-reformation Europe... And look where we are now.

[–] EvasiveSpecies@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am SO tired of these religious fundie/extremist nutjobs.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are only hypocrite religious. Nothing of what they are doing is even close to Jesus's core teaching "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31). They are giving Christians a bad reputation.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Christians gave themselves a bad reputation, then as now. Their faith never recovered from the Black Death, which finally broke the back of the church, and ended their stranglehold over almost all of Europe.

They later tried to break the peasants with their various Inquisitions, killing thousands more, but no matter how many people the Christians tortured to death, they were never able to achieve their former glory and power; they have diminished every year since.

They've lost half of their faithful in the USA over the past 20 years. PRAISE GOD
