So that means nothing about Christianity then, right?
I'm pretty sure Jesus would be on board with the "everyone is welcome" message.
Actual Jesus would be in CECOT by now.
Given the demographic they are going after, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that a few people named Jesus got sent to CECOT already
I think they would have just murdered him again, tbh.
Although when Jesus comes back he's supposed to be wrathful, so he'd probably kill all the Christians who use his name for hate as his first act.
He needs to hurry the fuck up and stop taking the scenic route back.
While there are zero prophecies left to be fulfilled, AND like five of them have been fulfilled in the last decade, if there is a supernatural Jesus to come back, we still have a long way to go to match the worldwide suffering seen in Revelations before Jesus's return.
Not exactly wrathful, more like, he shows up when there's a lot of ambient wrath going on. Mainly he just resurrects all who died in faith and sets up a judgment throne.
And he won't kill them, just they don't get heaven. The sheep and goats judgment. The section that "What you have done to the least of those, you have done to me" comes from there.
Honestly I think the existential suffering brought about by realizing that they have no place in heaven after a lifetime of religious lip service is FAR more poignant than any death could be
Not that most lemmings think this is anything more than a long repeated fairy tale, granted
Pretty sure if Jesus came back today conservative evagenlicals would send him to a concentration camp
Time for the sartre quote again.

The assholes know what they are doing. They know they are hypocritical. They don't care. You cannot engage in conservatives/anti-semites/fascists/et al with reason because they will not argue in good faith. They are bad people. Selfish, fearful, people.
Seems to me like flags are usually political and/or ideological in nature... That's, like, one of the main reasons we use flags at all. The US flag is political, the Idaho flag is political, banners that say "Merry Christmas" are gonna have to be left out of schools, even "Happy Birthday" is going to read like religious favoritism to someone like a Jehovah's Witness. Especially if the Christofascist snowflakes can't even be bothered to put up with "Everybody is welcome here". Why would anyone else feel inclined to put up with their shit?
flag 1
[flag] Phonetic (Standard) IPA noun
Simple - they're not going to enforce this when it comes to Christianity or nationalism.
Time to fly high the flag of the proud Island of Lesbos.
No no no. You can't curtail HIS free speech!
And no USian flag either
No pledges of allegiance in the morning then.
"not like that"
Remember when schools were having a War On Christmas and removing all signs on Christianity and Christmas displays? So much that South Park made strawmen of the schools to make fun of. Pure projection.
No. Bible in every backpack, forced morning prayer and flag salute is the law now. rules for thee but not for me
