From Newsweek, “An evangelical leader is warning that conservative Christians are now rejecting the teachings of Jesus as ‘liberal talking points.’ Russell Moore, former top official for the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) who is now the editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, said during an interview aired on NPR’s All Things Considered this week that Christianity is in a ‘crisis’ due to the current state of right-wing politics. … In his NPR interview, Moore suggested that Trump had transformed the political landscape in the U.S. to the point where some Christian conservatives are openly denouncing a central doctrine of their religion as being too ‘weak’ and ‘liberal’ for their liking. … ‘Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—“turn the other cheek”—[and] to have someone come up after to say, “Where did you get those liberal talking points?”’ Moore said. ‘When the pastor would say, “I’m literally quoting Jesus Christ”… The response would be, “Yes, but that doesn’t work anymore. That’s weak,”’ he added. ‘When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we’re in a crisis.’”
Everything you need to know about evil evangelicals (and America) is in the above quote. That anecdote stands alone and says it all. Dare I say that Christianity at large is a religion of hate — not as hateful as Islam — despite Jesus’ teachings. Just look at the history of humanity since the birth of Christianity. It is littered with war and annihilation, all done in the name of Jesus Christ. Today’s American Christians are absolutely no different. And make no mistake: These Christians are the majority, not the minority.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:15-20 (KJV)
So, according to RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks, Jesus is too woke. Indeed, these people believe peace, forgiveness, and acceptance are now evil fruits and thorns brought by Jesus — now a false prophet — while traitor trump — the first coming of America’s Savior — brings the fruits of hatred, revenge, and death. I expected nothing less from a group of delusional morons who think a 2000-year-old version of the Telephone Game (i.e., the Bible) is the word of God. To be clear: Christian believers already have a propensity to believe in fantastical stories, so naturally, they have a propensity to believe in conspiracy theories, namely that traitor trump was sent by God to save America from everyone else, who is inherently evil. [Palm to forehead.] This is what a dying country looks like, f***tards! The end is here, and no one cares! Welcome to stupid America!
