Nobody,

If there’s one thing Jesus was consistent about, it’s that poor refugees seeking shelter should be ruthlessly murdered by drowning in a river tangled in razor wire.

Pretty sure that’s in the gospels.

Matthew 25:31-40, as I recall.

Oh wait, this is from the Opposite Bible.

The fact that children still sing about the Battle of Jericho is really creepy to me

dhork,

I believe that’s in the book of Donald, 6:66

d00phy,

6:66 is a long-ass chapter in that particular book. Covers a lot.

TenderfootGungi,

666 is the address of one of their buildings in NY.

Nah, that’s one of the ten commandments right? “Thou shalt murder thy neighbor by rain of gunfire” I think it was?

This kinda shit is at least part of the reason the fastest growing religion in America is “none.”

1024_Kibibytes,

Exactly! They know their book says “love your neighbor” and care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger, but they don’t even vaguely do anything like that.

Wermhatswormhat,

And our most famous monument says “give me your tired, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”

But I guess that only belongs to Texans who have had that freedom their whole life and are threatened by others seeking the same thing.

Num10ck,

not anymore, they removed that part already from the statue of liberty

vrek,

Ok… Really they removed that part or are you being sarcastic? I can’t tell.

Num10ck,
ericisshort,

It’s so hard to tell anymore, but it’s either sarcasm or misinformation because the plaque is still on the statue and a replica of it is displayed in the museum.

Tristaniopsis,

No no! That only means Christian WHITE folk from some parts of Northern Europe.

crusa187,

Gotta question whether even White Northern Europeans would be accepted by these people. I suspect no, not really. Such is the extent of the hateful fear mongering they subject themselves to daily.

Tristaniopsis,

So racist they hate everyone who isn’t themselves.

TBH I detest much of humanity as well, but it’s mostly because there are so many of us that we’re wrecking the planet / ecosystem. It’s easy psychologically to dislike the faceless ‘other’ until you meet them personally and grok their individual humanity. At least I understand the concept and can temper my instincts with logic. These dipshits need a good therapy session.

pinkdrunkenelephants,

grok their individual humanity.

I was legit going to say something until I looked it up and grok does, in fact, turn out to be an actual slang term:

grok

  1. To understand something intimately and completely. (originally from Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein)
  1. With programs, having sufficient understanding.

TIL 🤷

Tristaniopsis,

Great word

Sadly that only means they don’t go to a church and just believe whatever, actual atheists agnostics are only 10%.

Haagel,

I don’t know why people are down voting you. This is exactly what Pew Research has said about religious “nones” in America. The number of dyed-in-the-wool atheists is still quite low and projected to decrease because birth rates.

Religious “Nones” in America - Pew Research

guacupado,

For the purpose of the conversation, it’s all the same shit.

rayyy,

The reason for the low “nones” is because those who profess to being atheists and agnostics are discriminated against, socially, employment-wise and politically. The vast majority of so-called Christians don’t believe a fucjing thing in the bible - it’s a dishonest social maneuver designed to create acceptance by the tribe, especially if you are a low-life.

Haagel,

Do you have any evidence of this, or is it anecdotal?

Good thing atheists never make up facts to fit their narrative, and are always scientifically objective in their ideas 🤣

jimbo,

There’s so much fucking crazy in just the first two paragraphs of that article:

A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies. The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.

“This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God,” one convoy organizer said on a recent planning call. “We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil,” said another. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. It is time for the remnant to rise.” (The remnant, from the Book of Revelation, are the ones who remain faithful to Jesus Christ in times of crisis).

Treczoks,

Why on earth would “peacemakers” need the probably mobile armories those idiots are carrying?

poweruser,

It’s doublespeak, a la 1984. In this case many of the words used are inversions of their usual meaning.

I’ll provide some translations:

patriots -> seditionists

biblical -> cloaked in the authority of God – which here must be explicitly stated because their actions are opposed to any God of justice

open boarders -> following legal and ethical principles (remember, these people oppose ethical principles)

peacemakers -> those who use violence, or the threat of violence, to obstruct peace. See also, terrorists

besieged by dark forces of evil -> opposed by morality, ethics, or the law. The addition of “on all sides” changes the ‘or’ to ‘and’

As a bonus, “globalists” is antisemitism. There’s an old canard that justice for minorities = communism = Jewish conspiracy. This is particularly common among nazis. The convoy organizer is signaling that their group is accepting of these ideas

Fades,

Fucking brain dead morons sacrificing their livelihoods for the party that is actively blocking any action on securing the border.

That’s the whole game, create problems and stop progress so you can claim that you are the only group capable of solving it. This is just an op to try and smear the Ds

800XL,

A lot of untreated mental health issues making themselves visible in those two paragraphs. If only their parents hugged them once in awhile when they were kids maybe they’d be productive members of society instead.

GreyEyedGhost,

I read that as “besieged on all sides by dark…forces of evil,” narrowly avoiding saying dark people instead and losing all pretense.

captainlezbian,

I’m a pagan so maybe I’m misinterpreting but I did read the Bible in catholic school and I’m pretty sure Jesus said to do the opposite of this. I’m pretty sure he’d be saying that we should see each family as though they were Jose, Maria, and their baby Jesus as no different than Yusef, Miriam, and Ieshiua 2000 years ago. I’m pretty certain that was in fact his entire point though he’d also be saying that single 20 year old men also should be welcomed because they’re either good or lost and able to be redeemed.

jimbo,

The thing is…what may Christians believe is based less on what Jesus said and more on what suit-wearing, vitriol-spewing grifters tell them.

The Hypocrisy is palpable. Where in Christ’s teachings does it say to use razor wire and allow women and Children to drown to protect your way of life?! These Chuds are as much antichrists as 45.

Republicans saw the Taliban still in power after being fully occupied by the US for how long and decided “that’s who we’re going to model ourselves after”

All of you ignorant assholes who denigrated anyone else for saying we’re experiencing a second civil war in the U.S. better make with the apologies.

Danitos,

What’s the need of being rude and aggressive to express your thoughs?

This actitude is, in part, why I think social media sucks so bad, call it Lemmy, Twitter, Reddit or Facebook.

JustZ, (edited )

I don’t see a war. I see people levying for war. I see an assemblage of troops. That’s the definition of treason.
