Hypocrisy of Christian nationalism on display as GOP ignores Bible in its panic over student loans: columnists
The Republican outrage over President Joe Biden's student loan debt relief has exposed the hypocrisy of Christian nationalism, according to a new analysis by Time magazine.
"While President Biden’s announcement of student-debt forgiveness elicited shouts of joy from many of the 43 million Americans who could experience relief under his plan, Republicans have responded by declaring their opposition to the very idea of debt forgiveness," Bishop William Barber, Jr. and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove wrote in Time.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
