Science and expert opinion should be respected, “your own research” is usually worthless, Black Lives Matter, Taiwan is a country, Love is Love, and Trans Rights are Human Rights.

No nazis or tankies, thanks.

  • Jesus lived in a region conquered by the Roman Empire. Many of his fans at the time wanted him to be a conquering ruler and overthrow them. His answer in the text amounted to, “that’s not why I’m here.” Nominal Christians trying to install a Christian Government have missed the point of their own text so hard it’s actually kinda funny.

    Jesus: Share resources among those that need them, it’s very hard for rich people to enter heaven.

    His Followers: Temporarily embarrassed billionaires who idolize wealth and build literal golden statues of their favorite rich guy.

    Jesus: Hangs out with tax collectors (i.e., agents of the Romans, who were not popular), hookers, low status foreigners, and people with terminal diseases.

    His Followers: Ew, drag queens and brown people. Gross.

    Jesus: Encourages non-violent responses to his own capture pending execution. Tells many parables about forgiveness and treating foreigners as neighbors.

    His Followers: Immigrants are invading us! They terk our jerbs! BOMB IRAN!

    Anyone seeing a pattern here? The reality is that Christianity isn’t really a belief system for them, it’s a cultural identity or tribal marker. You don’t have to actually believe any of this shit or behave accordingly. All you have to do is say the right words and present the right image. Right wing Evangelical Christianity is a hollowed out husk; an empty aesthetic presenting as a belief system that promises that anything you do will be wiped away if you say the right words and give money to whatever charlatan is giving his Dollar General Ted Talk today.
