    not to be that guy: but that’s a cross not a crucifix. A Crucifix contains the crucified Christ hanging on the cross. Most Protestants, as most Americans are, don’t utilize the crucifix in anyway.

    There are no gods. Religion is a cancer. No one is doing anything to ancient myths, their doing it to humanity.

    The worst people I’ve ever met in my life wore a cross.

    There is no hate like Christian love.

      I don’t know, part of believing in religion is doublethink. Many religious will say “just don’t think about it” when presented with contradicting information. That’s why religion encourages suppression of free thinking.

      I was raised Southern Baptist, did the youth group trips and church services. Eventually decided I’d jyst read the Bible cover-to-cover. Got to the end of that book, thought about it for a while, and came to the conclusion it was all bullshit.

    Any “Christian” who isn’t calling them out loudly is complicit and deserves to have their religion dragged through the mud.

    Anyone who dismisses them by saying “oh they’re not ‘real’ Christians” is deluding themselves and is carrying water for fascism.

        You know that bishop telling clergy to get their affairs in order and that the time for resistance is now? Yeah I’m pretty sure that guy is a real Christian, at least based on the words attributed to Jesus.

          This is how it’s meant to be for Christians as well since their book tells them that only god is the judge of people’s hearts.

          Doesn’t stop them from constantly using the “not a true Christian” refrain.

    One of the most effective things you can do to damage Christianity is to stand before the world with a crucifix around your neck

    You can stop there really. People wearing jewelry to show off their devotion is explicitly condemned by jesus. These people are heretics at best.

    Lying is by far the least of their crimes.

      1 Timothy 2 |9| I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, |10| but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

    Is it actually damaging…? That is like saying “the most effective way to damage MAGA is Trump lying”.

      Trump is like sponge to whomever happens to be standing next to him in the moment. And political acts follow. It explains his rxn to Momdani, regardless of how pretty and charismatic Momdani is. Flip flopping on Russia-Ukraine. Suddenly placing sanctions on a country he doesn’t care about (first term) because Ivanka showed him pics of dead refugee children.

      Right now, it’s Miller and Vought.

      We all knew he was easy to influence but it’s worse than we’d ever originally imagined. Worse now with his cognitive decline. Trump has no agenda. He’s just an empty shell of a megaphone for the person standing next to him.
