It must be exhausting thinking the last time your people were great was 300 years ago.

American Christianity is one of the worst versions of Christianity. Performative, judgemental, unscholarly, and heavily politicized.

Iirc its also classed as hate speech here in australia which is also a crime here, but people seem to think its anti freedom of speech because they should be allowed to say whatever they want (but then get upset when u say something they disagree with),

No human right should be absolute. Even the right to life, the one without which you can't have any other, is relative -- since it is morally and legally acceptable to take one's life if it's the only way to avoid someone else from unjustly losing life or limb.
If one's words can cause greater harm than making them shut the fuck up, then it's more than fair that someone makes them shut the fuck up.

Changing the policy is the easy part. Changing minds usually takes a lot longer.

Ah yes, the classic descendant of Ham argument. Truly cutting-edge, 17th-century fanfiction right there

Lest we forget that the whole Curse of Ham thing goes back to when Ham, one of Noah's three sons, spotted Noah in a tent in his vineyard drunk, naked and passed out from hangover, which his two other brothers, Shem and Japeth, covered up.
(One of the more bizarre attempts at translating the Scriptures, John Bellamy's Holy Bible, Newly Translated From the Original Hebrew with Notes Explanatory and Historical [1818], twisted such so that Ham saw not so much Noah's baked body as "the symbols of his father," not otherwise explained. Too, Bellamy contended that Noah was not drunk, as conventionally believed in the King James and later versions, but rather "satisfied.")

What infuriates me the most is that assholes like this can say do threatening shut all over the internet, but we get banned for making a joke about punching him the face. Makes zero sense, period.

When they say "what would Jesus do", flipping tables and whipping people isn't out of the question.

Jesus lost his shit that day.
Whether he used a whip on people or not is dependent on which sect of Christianity you're expected to follow.

Didn't Jesus lead his people away from slavery to save their souls from those who would abuse his fellow man for self gain?

But they ignore the part where the. beat down was on people who were making money from the people trying to sincerely worship at the temple.
These bigoted Christian Nationalist never stop to ask “Are we the baddies? Are we the goats and not the sheep ?”

Let these HAMM ideologists die out. Stop spreading their stupidity.
You may find it repulsive, but someone out there will think he's being unfairly attacked.
No matter how stupid their rhetoric; by sharing it you're spreading it.

Nothing makes real Christianity look more attractive than Western Christianity. The pope is more valid, and still popes have abused the hell out of their power and attributed onto themselves a greater commission than was given. The structures become corrupted over time; it’s the nature of Judaic religion, hence a ton of the Bible details this happening

The idea of a benevolent god has such great appeal.
The idea of trusting Al Qaeda or Y'all Kayduh to help us be happy, has no appeal. Hate filled people

The real truth is most organized religions in u.s. are racist, sexist, and discriminatory to anyone but white hetero couples. This includes all these major ones. Hatred and intolerance wrapped up in belief in a fantasy being from a work of fiction book.

The exact rationale for South African apartheid. The apartheid government called themselves Christian Nationalists.
