Every actual Christian in the country needs to rise up against the people bastardizing their religion to gain power.
Jesus was a socialist.

There seems to be none left. I keep hearing from people who say they are Christians and against it, but only in back rooms and privately. Where are the Christian orgs that are speaking out? No public outcry or anything.
Something eye-opening I heard from a very devout friend is that a lot of churches preach avoiding evil. Don't watch horror movies, don't read about violence, etc. You don't want those ideas in your thoughts.
Her church teaches that religion and politics should never mix. And because of that....she is ignorant to politics.
This is purely anecdotal and I'm definitely not absolving them for it but it does make some sense
This is how religion and politics should interact
Great respect for Dorothy Day, and any of the several people attempting to actually follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Yeah I have mixed feelings on Blessed Day (ok her current title is excellent), because on one hand if she wasn't left wing she'd be a saint by now. But on the other hand
Don't call me a saint, I don't want to be dismissed that easily
I still have strong opinions on catholicism as is my right as someone who's an apostate to it. And the fact is that the catholic workers are some of the best leftists you'll get if you want people do do some good praxis but don't mind them turning themselves in to the cops or actively not talking about abortion.
The evangelical bishop was pretty fucking based - but I do agree we need more if people are going to claim they're following a religion of peace and love.
You are absolutely right. Based as hell.
There are some relatively powerful groups. Americans United for the Separation of Church and State was founded by a Christian minister and has always had religious leaders on the board of trustees. Maybe kick them some support if you want to encourage them to do more.
I keep reading Christians as “Christians.” These people don’t know who Christ is.
It's pretty gross. I liked that article a few years back comparing the Bible's description of the antichrist to Trump.
Gotta have an in-group and an out-group. Might as well have the most blindly obedient, and least critically thinking people as part of your in-group.
Biden was one of the most devout Christian presidents we've had. But I guess it doesn't count because he's Catholic?
Probably that pesky D next to his name
DEM stands fir demon!
This is how they start meaningfully erroding abortion rights at the federal level, as well a gay rights.
They've long held that preventing a Christian from interfering in someone else's life is an infringement on religious freedom.
They're going to find ways to end Christian persecution by removing rules that say Christians have to fill prescriptions they think might be related to abortion, aren't bound by anti discrimination laws, are institutionally allowed to break rules governing the behavior of hospitals, orphanages and adoption agencies, or any number of other charities.
Maybe if you tied little red flags to your eyebrows.
You could use piercings but that’s pretty woke for Americans.
Leopards are going to be full for the next 4 years, looking at you Muslims for trump…
4 years at the very minimum.
Christians always had a persecution complex sometimes stepping the line into martyr complex.
It's sort of built into their belief system. Early Christian authors wrote prophecies that their followers would be persecuted for their beliefs. So any time they can claim it's happening they get to say "see? Prophecy fulfilled!
But also, when your group has lived in a position of massive privelege for hundreds of years, equality feels like persecution. It's the same reason groups like the proud boys have been so successful in recent years. It's backlash over society heading in a direction where white men are not defacto leaders in control of everything.
Those poor Christians! They are just sooooooo persecuted here in the US!! /s
"Stop discriminating against me and judging me and saying bad things about me! Also, you're going to burn and suffer for all eternity in hell because of who you're attracted to."
What a fucking joke.
Hmmm. Tax exempt status seems very favorable already.
These types of Christians see not being put first and foremost as anti-Christian bias. They’re Christian supremacists and theocrats, and they deserve to be put down.
Once again, the most religious Christians show they’re the least Christ-like.
I wonder how "dissenting" Christian groups like Quakers or even Catholics will fare.
How is Christianity dominant if an Antichrist is president?
How is Christianity dominant if an Antichrist is president?
How is water dominant on Earth if the Sun is a fireball?
Because God hates us!
The Bible was in the project 2025s banned book list
Simply don’t take them serious because they aren’t. They argue in bad faith. Victims, lol. Pathetic.
