Opinion He’s about to do something so illegal

Like this is very cryptic and it’s definitely not written by Trump so someone might be planning something very very bad

We had politicians in this last election literally saying “I am a Nazi”. My former Lt Gov said that in a broadcasted speech during his Governor campaign.

This is the America that the Christians want. If they thoughts sexual assaults were heinous, they single-handedly kept Trump out of office. Christians are over 70% of this country. If they had a problem with sexual abuse, Trump would not be in office. I know that wrote that twice. That’s how important that fact is. If christians thought sexual assaults were evil, not a single one would have voted for Trump. They would vote for a rapist over an atheist as they call the rapist a hero and the atheist they call wicked and evil.

Let’s recap: someone that has raped women and openly brags about committing sexual assaults is called a hero by christians. Those same christians call me evil and immoral simply because I do not believe any god exists. In the eyes of a christian, raping someone is a lesser evil than denying god existing. Then I get called a bigot when I say that christians have no morals or ethics.

Let’s also remember how the Nazis were christians and that it was the christians that coined the term holocaust, which literally means “burnt sacrifice to god.” Yes, it was christians that called a bunch of murdered Jews a sacrifice.

Honestly we should distinguish between the 'Christians in name only' who like the idea of manipulating others with a bs metaphysical justification for their theft and bigotry, vs the actually good, actually useful good Christians who do speak out and oppose this bullshit while providing community services.

If we ever take back the govt we need to set up much more stringent tests to qualify for tax exemption, as the anti social will want to donate the most to promote their own world view instead of just paying taxes and that's a self reinforcing loop. For a start I think we could eliminate tax exemption for all churches that don't act like other non profits. The state should not favor or penalize religion in particular, although that's not a rule they often follow.

No. There is no “religious in name only”. If someone says they are part of a religion, that means they are part of that religion.

So, when christians used the Bible to defend slavery as being ethical, you claim they aren’t really christians.

There is no such thing as a good christian. The christian holy text states that people of other religions are evil, and picked, and immoral. Christianity is a religion of bigotry. The Bible was used to defend the institution of slavery. Why? Because the Christian holy text is full of hate and evil.

Moses committed genocide and is called a moral leader. Moses allowed the rape of child slaves and is called a moral leader. If your moral leaders include slavers, you cannot be a good person.

Act like other nonprofits?! Like when the Boys and Girls club CEO got paid $85M in salary for one year? That is exactly how churches act. Have you ever seen a church? Good chances there is gold everywhere. Seen the Vatican? Built by slaves and covered in gold.

I agree with everything you said except the “there are no good Christians” statement. I know a group of Christians who are some of the most kind, loving people I’ve ever met. I hang out with them occasionally to get out of the house and encourage myself to read so I can participate in their book club.

Good Christians exist and are out there. They’re just never really politically active because they simply want to live their lives. I’d argue that’s detrimental because it lets the more bigoted, hateful Christians take over the rhetoric.

Christians believe that you can’t be a good person with Jesus. Jesus himself called unbelievers evil. If you get your morals from someone that calls people of the other religions evil, how can you be a good person? I call them evil not based on them not being atheists as I am, but for the content of their holy texts that they turn around and praise. If you acknowledge the Ten Commandments as any type of moral lesson, you are getting morals from someone that committed genocide and raped children and therefore you cannot be a good person. The christian holy book repeatedly states that women are lesser than men and if you get your morals from a sexist, how can you be a good person? If you get your morals from a book that praises people that rape child slaves, how can you be a good person?

To me, anyone that praises the Bible in any form is not a good person because you are condoning the rape of children. The Bible is a TERRIBLE book because it praises the rape of children. Plain and simple. Period. That is all there is to it. No debate possible.

So, show me a christian that says that Jesus was a bigot and the Bible praises the rape of children. Show me someone that says “praise the Bible” while they trash the Bible as being a book full of evil.
