This viral video has people talking about Christianity versus ‘MAGA Christianity’ - Lemmy.World

“As a Christian, I don’t think you can be both MAGA and Christian,” one person wrote in the comments of the video. Two weeks ago, Jen Hamilton, a nurse with a sizable following on TikTok and Instagram, picked up her Bible and made a video that would quickly go viral. “Basically, I sat down at my kitchen table and began to read from Matthew 25 while overlaying MAGA policies that directly oppose the character and nature of Jesus’ teachings,” she told HuffPost. In the comments of the video ― which currently has more than 8.6 million views on TikTok ― many (Christians and atheists alike) applauded Hamilton for using straight Scripture as a way of offering commentary. Others picked a bone with Christians who uncritically support Trump.

I always laugh when I hear shit like this, there is an old german saying my father taught me. “When there are 9 Nazis at a table, and you go sit with them, there are 10 Nazis at the same table”.

If you are sharing the same church with them then you are sharing the same ideology.

Members of the Presbyterian Church are supposed to kick people out of a Baptist Church?

In English, “you” can refer to an individual or a group.

Apply the group in this context. Each member of a group taking care of their individual mandate of responsibility is collective action.

So no, to your question, no-one meant that.

So if this nurse’s Church doesn’t welcome Nazi’s then they’re good and not to be vilified? How do we know that isn’t the case?

That’s not logical, nobody but you is saying that.

Start kicking these maga fucks out of your churches and I might start believing you.

To me it sure sounds like they don’t believe the nurse at all, because these MAGA fucks go to a church and so does she (even if it’s a completely unconnected church).
