Aren't they visible enough already? They can't shut the fuck up, they wear Jesus shirts and Jesus caps and have Jesus bumper stickers.

And these MAGA idiots eat up the idea that Christians, who make up the vast majority of the country's population and government, are being disrespected and silences.

they don't feel visible enough if they have to share the spotlight with anyone ever

Their whole relationship with their deity is the same as an abusive relationship or a cult leader, ‘I love you but if you don’t love me back you’ll be punished forever, but it’s somehow ok and not coercion because I know what’s best for you and you’ll be perfectly happy and content in your life and or afterlife, both of which will be spent serving and praising me’

The rest of their approach to humanity trickles down ironically

They're so drunk on their own hate they can't see what their beloved scripture tells them explicitly to look out for.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

I don’t think they read their scriptures. The only parts they know are fed to them via the TV or maybe their pastor if they attend church. Which is highly unlikely.

Part of me wants to get my hands on his bible that he’s hawking; compare it to an actual bible and see what bits got removed or added.

At a minimum, I’m guessing then whole money changer in the temple thing, Revelations…. Most all of the parables.

Okay. So in other words, its Supply Side Jesus Day.

Remember when Conservapedia decided to rewrite the Bible because it wasn't right-wing enough?

Like "Christian" and "transgender" are somehow mutually exclusive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Being transgender should at least be a trigger to start thinking if it actually makes sense to be Christian (or belonging to any other religion, really).

So that means it a holiday for them and they can just stay home and relax. Since god has a plan, and if its his plan for trump to be president there is nothing they need to do. Just stay home on election day. Matter of fact lets make every election day christian visibility day so they stay home every time.
