In case you need more context, Matthew 6:5-6:
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Edit: Please remember that the bible is very internally inconsistent, and it’s obviously not factual. It’s just funny that the people who claim to be christians don’t know their own book.
Any time Republicans do this shit, Democrats need to be in the side preaching this verse.

This is by design. What is written is one thing, but what it “says” is whatever they want it to say.
Yeah its called “cafeteria christianity” - they pick and choose what parts to follow while ignoring the inconvenient verses that would actually require them to be decent humans.
“Verily I say to you, they have received their reward.”
That’s not a compliment, of course.
I’m no expert on this, but it definitely reads like “lol this is as good as it gets for these asshats. It’s a one way road to eternal hellfire from here”
A bit more like ‘they seek the approval of men, and thus that is their reward: the approval of men, no more.’
Indicating their prayers go unanswered.
But only the poor children.
Again, their weird obsession with children.
And give it to the billionaires
Religion is cancer. You can’t change my mind on this.
Religion is a tool used by some humans that have turned cancerous. Real cancer is the humans.
not really the real cancer is the current capitalist and imperialist societies
People are cancer. Religion is product of people.
Being religious doesn’t inherently make anyone a good or bad person, it just allows people to justify how they feel about themselves.
For perspective, to a devout Hindu, you are cruel and barbaric for eating factory farmed meat.
