My Trump-humping Christian in-laws are actually praying for RBG to die!

[Still In Wisconsin]

How do I know this? Sometimes my wife's dad accidentally includes the email address we use for family stuff when he forwards his bullshit #MAGA prayer chains, conspiracy theories and memes. Apparently his Bible study group has a weekly "prayer focus" and this week it's for gawd to kill Ruth Badger Ginsburg.

So tell me again how Christianity is a religion of love?

[guillaumeb]

1. The MAGA hat cuts circulation to the brain.

A well known fact.

[Still In Wisconsin]

2. Yeah maybe that's it.

They were always bigots, but maybe the MAGA hats and their effect on blood supply to the brain have caused them to lose their ability to hide it.

[guillaumeb]

24. Trump encourages his followers to be open and proud bigots. eom

[Initech]

13. Maybe that's why it's a snap on and not a professionally fitted one.

[guillaumeb]

23. And made in China. eom

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. FAKE Christians...Tell your family that....

For Jesus Christ NEVER preached the shit these people believe.

Reverse the psychology and throw Bible scripture back at them to contradict what they say. I doubt you will get much more garbage mail from them in the future.

[trev]

27. I've tried that before.

I probably know more about the Bible than most of the thumpers, so I've countered a lot of their ignorance over the years. Didn't matter. They just ignored the verses they didn't like.

[Mariana]

28. To be fair, that almost never works.

They just say their interpretation of Christianity is right and yours is wrong, and there's no way for you to prove otherwise. Especially when they have a congregation, prayer group and/or preachers who agree with them.

[trev]

30. Yeah, that was my point.

Christianity is a fractured religion. Each member believes what they want to. I have a theory about this, but it probably doesn't belong in this forum.

[woodsprite]

85. To those people, I try to leave the gift of niggling doubt in their brain.

I say something like "Whatever.... You go ahead and believe what you want and I'll do the same. We'll see who's right in the end."

[gulliver]

75. Agree. It is very important to tell people they are being fake Christians when they behave this way.

Questioning them is not enough. The accusation needs to be made or they won't get that they aren't, in fact, Christians if they think and behave in a way that isn't Christian.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

91. I did that with my sister, she no longer speaks to me...

I asked her when did Jesus preach that? Silence at the other end of the phone.

Her loss.

[Baitball Blogger]

4. Someone needs to find a concise tweet to show

how conservative judges have undermined our country. What part of what they did made them good Americans?

[DFW]

5. Spread it around and see if they are still proud of themselves.

Send it to everyone, their church pastor, the Secret Service, the local press. See if their pride can stand the light of day.

[pandr32]

7. I like this suggestion

[Hortensis]

56. This. Our targets are those who are appalled and

worried, wondering if they should and/or can vote again for Trump.

[mahina]

65. Useful post.

[UniteFightBack]

6. Indirect murder via prayer is breaking a commandment. They are going all in. nt

[Mariana]

11. Yes, it is.

If fantasizing about having sex with a married woman equals adultery, as Jesus taught, then surely fantasizing about the killing of an individual must equal murder.

[GoCubsGo]

8. They prayed for Gawd to take Barack Obama, too.

I ended friendships over shit like that when he was President. I'm sure they're praying for the demise of Pelosi and numerous other Dems, as well. Not that it matters. The very fact that the likes of Trump and McConnell remain in office, running roughshod over the country, hurting millions of people is just more proof that there is no "God." Or, at least not one that gives a shit about anything that goes on here.

[Mariana]

9. The whole time President Obama was in office

there were Christians, including members of the clergy, praying for him to die. This is nothing new.

[Bettie]

10. Wisconsin Synod Lutherans?

That's what mine are and a few of them have mentioned RBG needing to die and get out of the way for a new appointee for Trump.

[Still In Wisconsin]

63. They are members of a non-denominational bible church.

But most Christians love Trump so I'm not sure that's the determining factor.

[Bettie]

73. It's weird. They adore the guy

who is literally everything their holy book tells them is bad.

I have the same kind of relatives. DH and I are from Wisconsin and I'm shocked at what it has become. Grew up in Waukesha, which was full of union workers and Democrats, now it's horrible.

[Celerity]

81. 'who is literally everything their holy book tells them is bad. '

Now, as our Lord Jesus Christ, who is also God, was prophesied of under the figure of a lion, on account of His royalty and glory, in the same way have the Scriptures also aforetime spoken of Antichrist as a lion, on account of his tyranny and violence. For the deceiver seeks to liken himself in all things to the Son of God. Christ is a lion, so Antichrist is also a lion; Christ is a king, so Antichrist is also a king. The Saviour was manifested as a lamb; so he too, in like manner, will appear as a lamb, though within he is a wolf.

The Saviour came into the world in the circumcision, and he will come in the same manner. The Lord sent apostles among all the nations, and he in like manner will send false apostles. The Saviour gathered together the sheep that were scattered abroad, and he in like manner will bring together a people that is scattered abroad. The Lord gave a seal to those who believed on Him, and he will give one (MAGA Hat) in like manner. The Saviour appeared in the form of man, and he too will come in the form of a man. The Saviour raised up and showed His holy flesh like a temple, and he will raise a temple of stone (new US embassy) in Jerusalem. And his seductive arts we shall exhibit in what follows.


Then, after the lioness, he sees a “second beast like a bear,” and that denoted the Persians (Russians). For after the Babylonians, the Persians held the sovereign power. And in saying that there were “three ribs in the mouth of it,” he pointed to three nations, viz., the Persians (Russians), and the Medes (Chinese), and the Babylonians (USA); which were also represented on the image by the silver after the gold.

By the beast, then, coming up out of the earth, he means the kingdom of Antichrist; and by the two horns he means him and the false prophet after him. And in speaking of "horns like a lamb," he means that he will make himself like the Son of God, and set himself forward as king. And the terms, "it spoke like a dragon," mean that he is a deceiver, and not truthful



Hippolytus of Rome (c. 170 – c. 236) held that the Antichrist would come from the tribe of Dan and would rebuild the Jewish temple on the Temple Mount





Trump to discuss Temple Mount with ambassador to Israel

David Friedman will meet US president, Kushner (second beast, and Ivanka is the image) and Greenblatt in Washington to mull over events of the past two weeks

[Bettie]

82. I'm so glad that I tend not to believe in this

but you'd think that those who do would be crapping themselves about now.

[Celerity]

86. show it to xians, lolol

and that was just me doing a 2 minute google search, all my own cuts

there MUST be detailed professionally done articles out there that draw even closer analogies to Rump and the Antikhristos ie. ἀ??ί???????

[gibraltar72]

12. You spelled Christstain wrong.

[bdjhawk]

97. I see what you did there

And I like it (and will use it myself!).

[Initech]

14. I'm sure that Jesus would just love that.

[cutroot]

15. They are not Christians. They just belong to a cheesus club

[pazzyanne]

31. The person they worship is not Jesus,

but their god is tRump. True followers of Christ do not follow false gods like tRump. As for using Bible quotes, I do that with my sister all the time. She gets mad and walks away, because it does not fit her narrative. Most of her quotes are from the Old Testament, so she and people like her are not Christians with a capital "C".

[Different Drummer]

51. "True followers of Christ do not follow false gods like tRump."

I believe that's addressed in at least one of the Ten Commandments.

[pazzyanne]

60. Yes it is, and they are not following God's law are they.

[Different Drummer]

64. Not at all. n/t

[dawg day]

16. "What would Jesus do?"

But they don't care about that anymore if they ever did.

And reminding them that RBG has a family that loves her will probably just excite even more cruelty from them.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. Disgusting and ghoulish

I think that I read somewhere that right-wing and Evangelical groups have already been plotting who might likely succeed RGB if something happens to her before Trump leaves office. And McConnell has already announced that he's going to ignore his own "rule" about not confirming a new Justice if a SCOTUS Justice leaves or retires next year during Election Year (because, of course, he's McConnell and that's what he does)

[ProudLib72]

18. And people wonder why there is a "war against Christianity"

Well, it's just like the war against any religious cult, Taliban, ISIS... There are extremist haters of everything decent and morally right.

[pazzyanne]

32. Oh but you forget that tRump has made it safe to say "Merry Christmas" again!

[ProudLib72]

44. Yeah, as long as you claim to be Christian you're safe

Try saying Happy Chanukah and see what happens.

[pazzyanne]

61. Mazal tov, and you soon be free of your fear, ProudLib72!

[Still In Wisconsin]

67. Oh, I get THAT... I'm a Jew, and my wife converted from Christianity so she is too!

You can only imagine how the in-laws feel about that turn of events. But that's a whole other megillah!

[ProudLib72]

83. I converted sixteen years ago through a conservative shul

One of the rabbis who did the conversion asked me if I thought it was a good idea becoming Jewish "in these times." My answer was, "When is it ever a good time to be Jewish?" I think that scored me some points because they went ahead with conversion.

But it isn't until you really become Jewish and get involved with a community that you realize just how Christian this country really is. They say it isn't, but it definitely is.

[Mariana]

55. Because it was dangerous before, to say Merry Christmas! nt.

[Different Drummer]

49. I've never heard it expressed better.

You are spot on!

[lame54]

19. Badger?

[Still In Wisconsin]

66. Yes I am a Badger! n/t

[lame54]

70. But is Ruth?

[CTyankee]

96. That should be corrected by the OP.

[rurallib]

20. Be too bad if RBG put up her Prayer Shield and deflected the power of

those prayers and they accidentally hit the Traitor Trump. That would be so, so karmic.

[mwb970]

21. American right-wing "Christians" are the cruelest, most heartless bastards on the planet.

And the most self-righteous. I can't STAND them!

[PatrickforO]

22. Wow.

Not a good idea to pray like that. Because you're not invoking God.

Well, these evangelicals have been under the guidance of the Adversary for some time now.

[TNNurse]

25. Nothing about that is Christian.

They are frauds.

[TeamPooka]

26. Tell them that's a prayer that Satan will like since they seem to be on his side now, praying for

people to die and all.

[bigbadR]

29. followers of the Anti-Christ

All I have to say about this is that I pray for the Rapture every minute. Just think, what a wonderful world we could foster if these fools were gone.

[bdjhawk]

39. My vision of the perfect rapture is the opposite

All of the good people who show concern for others, aren’t greedy oppressors, not hypocrites- they all head to heaven while these phony evangelicals are left with their mouths agape, a moronic look on their faces wondering where everyone went! They are the ones “left behind”!

[bluestarone]

62. MY thoughts as well

They get stuck here to fight each other!!

[bluestarone]

33. NEVER forget them and

NEVER forgive them!

[Ms. Toad]

34. That hasno more to do with Christianity.

Than radical terrorists who claim to be waging a holy war have to do with being Muslims.

These are sick individuals, regardless of what they claim to believe.

My father grew up in a Southern Baptist church, beleived all Christian valuestaught him, and became the first conscientious objector from theState in which he grew up in because for him it was inconceivable that Christ and the God he was taught about would ask him to pick up a gun and kill another human being. That is Christianity.

[StTimofEdenRoc]

35. Well, at lest they are not doing anything that may succeed.

[tavernier]

36. Obviously they've never tangled with karma.

They may be opening themselves up for way more than what they bargained.

[Liberalhammer]

37. Karma

Im an atheiest mostly, as a way of readjusting the scales in the universe.

Your in-laws might be on for a surprise. Then it's your job to tell them that wishing death on a person is never a good idea.

[Yeehah]

38. Stay away from these people.

If at all possible.

[FakeNoose]

40. Tell your in-laws they're too late - the Rapture is tomorrow

[Martin Eden]

41. Mass Psychosis, not Christianity

If they are capable of praying for Ginsberg or Obama to die, they are also capable of being willing participants in America's march towards fascism.

[lunasun]

79. They may feel the spiritual need to cleanse the country for Jesus

[Martin Eden]

80. They are hastening the End Times

But it is the Antichrist they worship.

[Buckeyeblue]

42. New Christians are not about god

They are about justifying their own bigotry, in the name of god. If there was a god it would have surely made itself visible. In the absence of a god these people are just facist.

[COLGATE4]

43. Well, since she's a Jew it doesn't count

(if needed)

[Still In Wisconsin]

68. Ha, I'm a Jew too, THAT's why none of their prayers about me have worked!

[roamer65]

45. Real Christians don't pray for others to die.

Fake Christian neo-Nazis do.

[Maru Kitteh]

46. May I suggest contacting as many media sources as you can think of with this email?

Local and nationwide?

The hate this administration is fostering in others is a legitimate news story. Sometimes people like this will respond to public shaming. Either way, more should be made aware of what is happening.

Can you share the content of the email with us and possibly any of the entities it came from?

[Different Drummer]

47. The wife of a first cousin of my mom's has expressed similar views on Zuckerbergbook.

I've long since unfollowed her, of course.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

48. Sure. Give us a Dem prez and a Dem senate, then there will be other prayers. nt

[treestar]

50. I have seen wishes for the Dotard's demise

Though not in the form of prayer.

[Maru Kitteh]

52. I'll happily admit to offering up the fervent hope that cholesterol does it's job and rids us

of Orange Manson.

I lay no claim to moral superiority nor do I invoke anybody's god to act on my behalf.

[treestar]

92. He seems to live a charmed life!

Why don't his disastrous eating habits catch up to him?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

53. Comedian/theologian Stephen Colbert said this:

“If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.”

I can't think of a better way to put it.

[treestar]

93. +1 Stephen nailed that.

[Hortensis]

54. These RW email chains are occult, hidden, and spread

their messages along chains of friends and acquaintances to millions around the nation every day. And the media almost never mention them. Guess they think they're not cool because older people use them, but then these older people also vote in much higher percentages than young ones.

[Everyman Jackal]

57. Instead of writing "Christians" meaning people who are not Christians

why don't we write non-christians without quotes?

[underthematrix]

58. That's a good idea. Also even the DEVIL can quote scripture.

These are not Christians. They're part of Satan's army. WE have to accept that and move on.

[Takket]

59. color me stunned that people who support concentration camps also want RBG to die

to be fair, i shed zero tears when Scalia died (though i wasn't actively "praying" for him to die). he was a menace to society. unfortunately we found out the hard way that mcconnell is an even LARGER menace

[DBoon]

69. They are worshipping the wrong god

They need to ask Satan to do this. He specializes in killing people.

[Dirty Socialist]

71. They adore a cruel and vengeful God

Because they are cruel and vengeful people.

[backscatter712]

72. I've pretty much ostracized almost all the Trump supporters in my life.

Cut these pieces of shit out of your life.

[nini]

90. I agree. These are the type we fought in WWII

Why the hell are we tolerating them now?

[KentuckyWoman]

74. So much for right to life.

I've gotten similar crap. I feel for you.

[NoMoreRepugs]

76. Pretty sure these prayer humpers are zero for a

trillion or so over the course of history.

[ConnorMarc]

77. It's simple...

Your in-laws and everyone that thinks and acts like them, aren't Christians.

There's nothing Christlike about what you described.

[Sogo]

78. I'll admit

I hope that Trump drops dead.....

Let's see whose prayers are answered first.

[Gothmog]

84. Your in laws are assholes

[demtenjeep]

87. well, I pray to Dog that #fatdonnie dies in front of his magats telling lies

so maybe that will even it out

[Zambero]

88. Perhaps these delusional idiots should give good old voodoo a shot?

Since no God worth his or her salt would ever listen to these "prayers", the hopeful hatemongers could just shift gears and invest in a voodoo doll kit or two. And while they're at it, add snake handling to their repertoire, the more nasty and venomous the better!

[nini]

89. They're supporting nazis

Where do folks draw the line anymore??


I couldn't deal with them at all.

[leftyladyfrommo]

94. That is so nuts. And so awful. nt

[GeorgeGist]

95. psst ...

they're FAKE CHRISTIANS.
