"We're bombing Iran to bring back Jesus"

My brother in Christ, He's already here.

He is the family of refugees you deported for failing to have their papers with them at a Walmart. (Leviticus 19:33-34)

He is the hungry kid you denied food by cutting his SNAP benefits. (Matthew 25:35)

He is the sick grandmother who can no longer afford her medication because you let DOGE plunder her social security. (Deuteronomy 10:18-19)

He is the homeless person you arrested simply for sleeping outside when he had no other option. (Zechariah 7:10)

He is the trans woman you just convicted of a "sex crime" when she did nothing but dare to exist in public. (Matthew 19:12)

He is the poor, the disadvantaged, the abandoned, the elderly, the sick, the weary, and the downtrodden. And you - yes YOU SPECIFICALLY - will be judged by Him by how you treated Him here on earth. (Matthew 25:45)

@Lana By any traditional definition, they are heretics.

They are the Pharisees who were kicked out of the temple by Jesus Christ.

And He is also there, dying under your evangelical bombs.

It really is astonishing to me how many "Christians" miss this.

•I• get it, & I'm a lapsed Pagan, ffs.

Should the day come when He returns, I think there are going to be a lot of people who will be terribly surprised at what the practical definition of "righteous" turns out to be....

@cavyherd @Lana
Yeah
I'm an atheist, and by golly It's like the "Christians" have no clue what their source book actually says. There are very decent passages in there (along with the really bad ones), and yet they never manage to care to do the good works.

@Gurre @Lana

Well, it requires attention, effort, & sacrifice. None of which are high on the list of supremacist ambitions.

In fact, it could be argued that the whole •point• of supremacy is to avoid those paths....

@Gurre @cavyherd @Lana yep, it's a classic case of "watched the bootleg of the movie and claimed to read the book".

@Lana Once I tried to explain almost the identical as you wrote (local context) to members of a local church club (I was a member too) and ... it didn't end well.
I was quietly expelled for quoting the bible.🤯

@Lana Thank you. And I'm not even religious.

@Lana @thejikz Despite what the idiots who voted for him believe, the orange clown does not believe in God or have an inkling of the teachings of Jesus. Nor does he care.

This atheist fervently wishes there was a God to judge him when he leaves this earth.

As a Christian, I'll take your atheism over their supposed beliefs any day of the week - including and especially Sunday.

@SuneAuken @Lana @thejikz I appreciate that. We’re not bad people; we just don’t believe in an overseer to earthly concerns.

It’s the ones who claim they believe and claim they follow the teaching of Jesus (which look pretty good, even to a non-believer) but act contrary to it all that we need to be wary of. They give Christianity a bad name.

@mlanger @Lana @thejikz

Thank you. I agree with every word of this.

I you had asked me 15 years ago I would have said that the word "blasphemy" had no meaning. A god that would take offense at - for instance - non-belief really isn't much of a god

However, the MAGA crowds have proven me wrong. To me, they're blasphemers.

@Lana You should print this out and stick it up everywhere in public. You're not just 100% right, you're saying the very thing that the cultists may well most need to hear. But ugh, how to even get the message to them... (Honestly I joke about printing it out. I don't think they'd read it. I'm not 100% sure they *can* read...)

@Lana this is the only sermon that matters to me anymore, and also why I can't stand going to church anymore.

I know the Problem of Evil and Suffering has always been a pebble in the shoe of any attempt at rational theism, but ffs, never mind God appearing to smite these evil fuckers, why is the *church* the one cheering them on. at all. in any way.

there are too many tables that need flipping and too few table-flippers, is all I'm saying.
