There's a group of people that go around in white sheets with pointy hats and they burn crosses, often on other peoples property. That seems pretty anti-christian to me and should be the first to be investigated.
Everything about the GOP as very anti-christian. Jesus was a bleeding heart socialist by today's standards. I'm not sure what books these fools have been reading that says otherwise.
I am entirely serious when I say this:
The latest meme/talking point working its way through all the newer, e-celeb type american christian pastors, the ones that are extreme but not quite as bonkers as the qanon, I-am-a-prophet types...
The latest sermon topic is 'the sin of empathy'.

Wowwwwww
they don't read. their megachurch pastors tell them what the bible says about who to hate. they draw all their rhetoric from Leviticus and Numbers to justify their gross misinterpretation of Revelations. they ignore the gospels entirely. here are the things you need to know when dealing with christofascist propaganda
To be fair, there is a lot of really bad, problematic shit (much of it political in nature) in the Old Testament...
Which is what I'm getting at that only the weirdest dorks really practice everything in there. In the new testament Jesus even says that in following his teachings you make a new covenant with god that dissolves the old covenant established in the old testament. Any christian drawing anything in their actions from the old testament that aren't based around kindness and caring towards others is a complete jackass who doesn't even know what Jesus taught.
The "new covenant" shit is just copium. Jesus also said that:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A17-18&version=NIV
Seems pretty clear to me.
Let's remember that the Old Testament not only condones slavery, it lays out the "correct" way to beat the shit out of the people you own as property.
Also, no shellfish, no clothing with more than one fabric, can't cut the hair on your temples... I seem to recall there being some strange rules about it being your duty to fuck your brother's wife if your brother dies? That's an interesting one.
Jesus explicitly said that these laws will never change.
Well put. The other thing that's very weird is how the xtians will say that Jesus both gave them a "new covenant", and therefore things like dietary laws don't apply to them. So they can eat shrimp, but No Homo, because of what the OT says.
It seems highly selective, does it not? They'll claim the OT is what gives the character of Jesus his legitimacy because of prophecy being fulfilled or somesuch, and therefore the OT is the word of god. The character of Jesus says the "not one jot or tittle" stuff, and yet, the xtians will declare "new covenant" and nope out on things that seem awfully convenient like eating shrimp, keeping the (actual) Sabbath, and circumcision.
Even weirder - the way they enshrine things from Paul - a guy who never even met the character of Jesus, and that's according to their own fanfic! People that consider what Paul says of any import should be in a religion called Paulianity, yes?
None of the new testament writers ever met Jesus.
