This is what American Christianity has become.

Oh, a "Christian nationalist" ... or more to the point: Nat-C
Superchief86
I'm not even a Christian and even I find this blasphemous.
mward1984
At this point, I'm becoming increasingly sure that Trumps plan for reducing immigration is to make America so publically a banana republic shithole that not only do people stop trying to go, but enough people start fleeing it that it causes Canada and Mexico to have a immigration border crisis instead.
VALKATOVE
Yeah, Canada is already worried about the possibility. Canada has a severe housing shortage. Migrants cannot survive well in Canada without genuine shelter.

the worst people in the world claiming to be christian what a POS ghoul
MrPoopyPantz
FUCK RELIGION!
iamonlyhereforsensiblechuckles
THIS is what "Taking the Lord's name in vain" means. It is a misrepresentation of the character of God as revealed in the person of Jesus. Self sacrificial love, mercy & humility.

Old testament is full of God telling people to full on genocide their neighboring country. Both religion and conservatism don't belong in modern society

THOU SHALT NOT KILL
Did your god fucking stutter?
freshthrowaway1138
Just keep in mind that all of these people are just warming up the crowd for Climate Change.
As the planet warms, there will be refugees fleeing lethal wet bulb temps. Billions will need to move to survive. All 50 million Central Americans are going to need to move north, like Great Lakes/Canada North. So we have a choice. 1) We build the infrastructure to relocate and integrate these people or 2) Murder 50M at the US border. The conservatives have chosen their solution.

Nice. Very nice. IMO one of your top 5 of all time.

Stop using the term "Christian Nationalist". It's just "Nationalist". "Nazi" for short. Punch.

ah yes, killing people you consider lesser beings out of mercy because they are better off dead, what was the word for that practice again? euthanasia...and who made massive use of it again? the fucken nazis...here we are, just 90 fucken years later at the same damn place again, fuck this...
Sirlorddan
We really need to just start reporting when they do something Christlike.
MajMalfunction2
Bigots justifying their hatred and violence with religion. Tale as old as time.
jimmythehat1
It's funny how bigots can twist religion to line up with their fucked up ideas 100% of the time.
WombBruiser69
Almost like it was made for them
ShoelessLouis
Not as old as time, merely as old as religion.
DarthVella
Clearly, we need to be more merciful towards bigots, if you know what I mean.

Just for your comment, I'm going to a Lady boy bar here in Thailand.

Be a Trumper. Or be a Christian. Pick one - and only one.
VikingsAreNinjaPirates
That sounds like political speech. No tax exemption for you.
DrivingTheBus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenia_(Greek) Now this was the sin of Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
— Ezekiel 16:49–50[102]
DrivingTheBus
Those are two different but things. These people are begging their god to smite them.

A republican is a person who will fiercely fight for your life until you're out of the womb. Then it's screw you, got mine.
AZRAELSBLADE
There is no hate like Christian love
FiveShiftOne
It's really funny that he's literally creating the justification for his own killing. Punish a few while the rest stand in fear? Sounds like the way to put fascists back in the fucking corner.
SwiftyGuy
There should be no corner or cave for them to crawl back into.
thefellerwhathadthatusername
Simply to point out the hypocrisy (and there are a TON of verses, both Old and New Testament, referring to kind treatment of strangers and sojourners): Galatians 5:14 - For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Blasphemers like this guy are the very ones their own messiah warned their followers against following.
Foxsayy
Let's conviently ignore the multiple unprovoked genocides god ordered. And the slavery. And rape. And forced abortion. Sex slaves from conquered countries. Stoning of your own children. Incest. Lauding bashing the heads of infants of the enemy against rocks. Hardening the heart of the pharaoh so he could keep doing murder plagues. Dicking with Job for laughs.
Both narratives are in there. Neither of you are blasphemers, you each just chose a different narrative to follow.
OohDaLolly
I've done this, and the response I got was that the Bible tells Christians to rebuke the devil, and immigrants bring the devil with them when they come to the country. You can't use logic on people who cling to any excuse to hate.
wheresthehill
Yeah… not that bible. The DJT version. Hate thy neighbor, starve the poor, don’t heal the sick, give to the wealthy for that is the way to salvation, etc

Guess this pastor glossed over the top 10 list too.
Arcman304
I grew up pretty religious. And all I see now is hate on all sides... the crusaders in the past. and the hate between Islam and everything else.
All I can settle on is religion was used to make people think the same way. So they can all agree to hate on another group of people who think different.
Even Christians could never figure this out. How meny different types of Christians are there? All with different views. and they used to go to war over that shit.
MegaDeuce
I think you're digging too deep. How about "Thou Shalt Not Kill"?
Nebel01
you need to understand there is two kind of peoples very important in religion, thoses that seek love and acceptance (cults love thoses for obvious reason) and thoses that need strict social structure with all powerful "god" on top and thoses they dont like and are different to them under them , peoples craving a all powerful sky daddy also being into authoritarism? more likely that you can think

It's almost like they've never read the book they scream about and only use it as a cudgel to make other do what they want.
Hexrowe
No, it's like they've cherrypicked from it the bits they like, just the same as every Christian _necessarily_ does. The difference is that these people happen to like the most heinous bits the best.
Cinammontoastcrunch
During the pandemic I would quite Leviticus 13:45 and 13:46 to the anti mask Christians, those passages essentially say to mask up and social distance, they would tell me they're from a book that doesn't count, then when I point out that's where there favorite anti gay line is from they would scoff and walk off.
AranaDiscoteca
"Love thy neighbor? Nah let's go with hate everyone different than us and foce women to have babies?"
"And... What verses are those?"
"Shhh shh shhhhhh. Trust me, bro."
Hexrowe
No but, you see, God's love is _higher_ than human love, _higher_ than our limited understanding, so when He commands you to literally genocide your literal neighbours it's not a command borne out of hate but out of His infinite _love_ for justice and mercy. (Obvs /s but that's for real what you'll hear apologists argue in order to defend all the biblical genocides.)

It’s just like Jesus said, “murder thy neighbor”
SheepySleepySmuggler
At least until he gets one of the children in his church pregnant, then he's suddenly very pro-abortion...
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
In secret tho
SheepySleepySmuggler
Of course, it's rude to show your hypocrisy in public...
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Weeell...it seems to be a selling point lately
DoctorWookie
I say we kill him so his flock can "stand in fear". "Churches" past 100 people or so should be taxed to the maximum with no loopholes. In other words, one you pass a certain threshold, all the money not spent on maintenance of the physical building you worship in goes to education, roads, public services. Y'know, the places Christ would want the money to go. Let's force them to stop pretending to be good people and MAKE them.
earthtokelly127001
Yes….and at least pay taxes!
CrackheadGermanSheppie
This is NOT what Jesus would do . Hypocrites and liars all of them. I hope they rot in the deepest recesses of hell.
rulerofthedingdongs
Right? I didn’t know Jesus personally, but I’m pretty sure ‘shooting migrants’ was not on his to-do list.
drunkbs
Pretty sure he was an "illegal" migrant himself too
mikeymikec
Once upon a time I was under the impression that WBC was the exception not the rule. These days I'm wondering if the exception are "Christian" churches in America that actually follow Christ's teachings. Though if I add "without exception" then of course there's no need to wonder.

I suspect, though without proof, that your "real" proper "love they neighbor" type christians could be found in very small run down old churches in the middle of nowhere, and your big shiny mega churches are populated by the types the article speaks of, but this is just a guess based on my *very* limited interactions with both types
SnakuPlisskin
I think the "love thy neighbor" types are probably more common than you think. They tend to be a little quieter about it (seems the founder of Christianity had some things to say about going around boasting about your good works). They also tend to be naive which might explain why so the christo-fascists are gaining so much ground. Not that I excuse that in the slightest - Jesus never said to be naive
LittleAzie
Even then, you still face judgement and shunning if you don't fit into their perfect world. Smaller churches tend to be more gossip oriented since everyone knows everyone and worries about everyone's business. There are exceptions, but that's my experience.
JustAnotherRabidToaster
Yeah, organized religion is messed up.
LittleAzie
And the thing is, Jesus historically warned us about organized religion (even if you don't believe the rest).
JustAnotherRabidToaster
Agreed, of course what modern religion is now, is a real far cry from how it was written to be.
