1. Christian Nationalism is America's greatest threat.

[BigDemVoter]

2. The goddamned American Taliban.

[RKP5637]

3. Their religious freedom means their right to rule and persecute others.

Fuck these people, so damn tired of it.

[dchill]

13. They're DAMN sure not talking about any...

... good Samaritan! Or turning the other cheek. Or loving your neighbor as you love yourself. None of that wimpy, "so-called" Christian behavior.

[RKP5637]

26. Yep, real christians use all hatred today ... persecute, bully and be injurious. And me first

you last.

[dchill]

28. "I'll get to heaven before you and I'll bar the gates!" ...

... Oh - wait...

27. they've been selling that meme for years on 1500 radio stations - like some 'christian' has the

freedom not to serve gays etc.

i like the 'sex on the wrong brain' explanation for the existence of organized major religions - they evolved to repress sex to increase frustration/masturbation, which by default is mostly with the right hand, which increases sex on the wrong brain symptoms like the irrational need for certainty which increases authoritarianism, greed, intolerance, suspicion, fear, conformity, and the need for a god, which grows the flock and fodder for armies used to protect the religion.

Wilhelm reich wrote in his 1933 paper "mass psychology of fascism" soon after studying with freud and interviewing austrian youth that it wasn’t until the youth began masturbating that they began believing in 'god'

the koran actually left it in print - "man can only have sex with his wife and that which the right hand possesses".

[RKP5637]

31. Lots of truth in this. Bizarre religions, bizarre people. n/t

[Skittles]

4. THIS IS MY COUNTRY, NOT YOUR FUCKING CHURCH

I really wish people would keep their delusions to themselves but that seems to be asking too much

[paleotn]

12. This!! 100% correct.

[Emile]

5. and they think they're the ones being persecuted.

[Freethinker65]

6. Truth is, they DGAF about Christianity unless it can be used to harm groups they dislike

Hate homosexuals for some reason- use Christianity.

Want to control women and limit their competitiveness- use Christianity.

Pro death penalty- silent on Christianity

Helping the poor through subsidies- silent on Christianity

Profiting from polluting and exploiting God's creations- silent of Christianity

Supporting serial adulterers- silent on Christianity

Want tax free status to campaign and proselytize- claim Christianity

[TheRealNorth]

7. Exactly

These SOB's will brag about the girls they knock up, and then try every way they can to weasel out of child support.

[lees1975]

20. Exactly.

8. religious rights

I'm sick and tired of christians. Like, somehow if you're "christian" you're somehow better than anyone else. And that your
religious beliefs should trump(pardon the pun) someone who doesn't share your belief.

After 12 years of a catholic education. I want nothing to do with religion.

[OMGWTF]

14. Hear! Hear! Recovering Catholic, too.

I am delighted that church attendance is way down and falling. I don’t need religion because I have a conscience.

[NullTuples]

16. I fail sometimes, but I try to only use the term in this context: "trumped up"

meaning "to devise deceitfully or dishonestly".

[Mariana]

29. The Bible very clearly teaches that unbelievers are bad people.

This theme runs throughout the entire book, in both Testaments.

[geardaddy]

9. Let them form their own damn country

on some shithole island somewhere.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. The extremist, activist judges have turned this 1st Amendment freedom inside out.

The 1st Amendment prohibits Congress from passing a law respecting the establishment of a religion -- no state-sponsored religion and no favoritism. These judges are favoring white, evangelical, protestants beliefs over everyone else. These unfit judges are ruling that religious beliefs are to be held superior to laws and regulations, therefore they are violating the very law -- the 1st Amendment -- upon which they base their rulings.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

32. Right, but sadly we ARE going to reach a point in the near future

where these get challenged relative to the application for, say Muslims.

For a simple example, a Muslim refusing to serve someone for some reason, at which point we are going to see these judges rule that does not count, because the religion of the United States is christianity, and when that precedent is set, it will be used to advance THAT in every other aspect of our society.

[Mr. Ected]

15. When you base your religion AND politics on faith

You never have to prove anything to anyone.

A very convenient tool for the ignorant and the corrupted.

[Brainfodder]

17. Wrecking something good because of 1 dissenter is a horrible system.

9 for 400M, also ridiculous AF!
100 for 400M, you see where this is going?
435 for 400M...



1 for 400M also occasionally results in chaos.

[NullTuples]

18. How does PrEP trample anyone's religious rights? It's for anyone with HIV! Even "Good Christians"!

Christians have tossed all consistency out the window like Putin eliminating a bothersome high ranking Russian official.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. They have always been extreme zealots. Now they are being called to violence. Onward

Christain Soldiers. May your new Crusade end in a harsh put-down should you pick up the sword. They could care less about the teachings of Jesus. He would be ostracized by the religious right.

[lees1975]

21. Not all Christians are happy with having their faith hijacked by right wing politics either.

[BigDemVoter]

23. Oh I agree. . . .

The wrong folks are claiming to be Christians. I think it just happens to be that they have the loudest mouths. . .

I know LOTS of Christians I am just crazy about, and they are horrified by the antics of these fools. Too often, people think of conservative fundies when they think of Christians. And I think your terminology, "Hijacked", is extremely appropriate.

[Mariana]

30. The majority of Christian voters cast their ballots for Trump.

Of course every Christian isn't a hateful bigot, but let's not pretend that hateful, bigoted Christianity is a fringe position. It isn't.

[Ferrets are Cool]

22. Religion, the ROOT of all EVIL.

Maybe not all, but much.

[Conjuay]

24. "Let He

who is perfect, cast the first stone"

Isn't that written somewhere in their gobbledegook?
