米国政治を動かす福音派とは何か 宗教学者の加藤喜之さんに聞いた

 「米国を再び偉大にする」と唱えるトランプ氏が2度目の米大統領に就任して1年がたった。中東でイスラエルを一貫して支持し、国内では強引な移民取り締まりを進める。支持基盤として注目されているのが、キリスト…

Yet another shout-out to #DonTheCon's pro-war #Evangelical supporters (implying he either had God-like powers or has been anointed by God to carry out His will:

This ignorant blasphemous #ConMan who has never set foot in a church outside a funeral (every marriage at #MagaLoco) has been inserting "God" at the end of every speech lately, but never simply "God Bless our troops/USA", but ridiculous things like "We love you God."

He invokes God the way Darth Vader would react if you handed him a basket of puppies. 😕

I'm sure the #Evangelical #EndTimers in his #Cult just lap up this kind of talk, but #MiddleEast nations hear "Holy War".

(more in ALT text.)

Want to know why you should want to keep religion COMPLETELY out of the #USA #Government?

Roughly 80% of white #evangelical voters have supported Donald #Trump in the previous three presidential elections, and a significant percentage of those voters were white evangelical #women. But there’s a movement afoot within those circles to prevent women from voting at all because their #husbands should represent their entire #family.

#Atheist

@cdarwin smart move to invoke the name of (your) god, thereby creating an equivalent to the #crusades to ‘free #jerusalem’. Alienating all muslims around the world to curry the favour of several hundred thousand #christofacist #evangelical #republicans (whom you deep down despise very much). This will end very badly for you and your #trumpadministration. But, Americans will be distruted and despised for generations. Again, everything that #trump touches dies and so will the #usa.

#Evangelicals, of course, talk fluently about evil, but (empirically speaking) they have become the most evil religious group in America. One goal of any morally serious religion must be to oppose the evil of Christo-fascism.

Happy Passion Friday to all who oppose Christo-fascism!

And a big FUCK YOU to all Christo-fascists out there: if you don't repent of that evil, the world will be a better place because of your death.

#Unionist #JohnJamesSomerville placed a bomb in the window of a #Catholic home in #Dungannon, #CountyTyrone, #NorthernIreland, in 1973 on #ThisDayInHistory, because the family grocery refused to serve soldiers. No-one was killed. Somerville later became an #evangelical minister.

State ofcls have NEVER enforced the measure, which includes fines up to $5k for each violation & possible suspension or revocation of a counselor’s license. The #law includes a #religious exemption for those “engaged in the practice of religious ministry.”
Kaley Chiles, an #evangelical #Christian, sued the state over the law in 2022, contending it prevented her from working with young patients who want to live a life “consistent with their faith.”
