Stupid things religious people say

[Fake Messiah]

Christians pretending to being oblivious to what Christianity is.

Wait, isn't Christianity cult of power disguised as religion?

A faith hijacked by hate: Why MAGA Christians are a cult of power disguised as religion

In their world, Christianity is not a message of love but a weapon of division. It is not a call to serve the poor, embrace the stranger, or turn the other cheek. Instead, it has become a banner under which they justify their anger toward immigrants, LGBTQ individuals, racial minorities, and anyone who challenges the dominance of the “White” race.

Seriously, when was Christianity message of love? Especially about loving the LGBTQ people? Yeah, they want to love gays by "healing" them from homosexuality. Or "embrace the stranger" - you mean make the stranger give up their religion and culture and embrace your version of Christianity.

Their leader is not Christ, but a political figure who represents the opposite of everything Christianity was meant to stand for. A man defined by greed, vengeance, and self-interest has become the moral standard for a movement that still insists on calling itself Christian.

You could say the same about the Catholics. Not to mention that Jesus is also defined by vengeance and self-interest. What do you think he built hell for if not vengeance?

The Christian nationalist movement thrives on the belief that Christianity must dominate the government, the courts, and public life.

Yeah, just like Christianity did in the medieval times and is still striving to be like that.

It is not enough for them to practice their own religion freely—they demand control over everyone else’s beliefs, behaviors, and identities.

Um, hello. That is what Christianity was always about. Can you name me one example where Christians were like, "Oh, what a nice religion you have. And what a nice set of gods you believe in. Now go and worship those gods in peace and have the religion you want because I totally respect that"?

Or the control about identities. Does anyone think real Christians don't want to control other people's identities? As if they go around and say, "Oh, you identify as a woman, sure, I don't want to control that because I respect that."

they have fashioned a new Christ — one who looks more like a warrior than a peacemaker. Their version of Jesus carries a rifle, waves an American flag, and seeks vengeance against political enemies.

Jesus did say he is bringing a sword to divide people.

A non-secular faith hijacked by secular white nationalism

Hey, don't blame this on secularism. So much for loving your neighbor.
