They are using the premise of a #spiritualWar to pave the road for the #UnitedStates to become the #Christofascist#theocracy they so jubilantly pray for—and intimidating students protesting the violence in #Gaza and trying to claim campuses for their own brand of #Christianity is their latest battleground.
The #Christofascist scumbag who destroyed the #Satanist statue in the state capitol is claiming that #Iowa is discriminating against him for his #Christian beliefs because the judge in his case refused to dismiss the #hatecrime charge against him. Yes, Iowa is discriminating against a Christian because of his Christian beliefs. If you believe that, I've got a golden calf I'd like to sell you.
#RobSchneider, whose claim to fame is a single, mediocre skit on #SNL, is a newly-converted #Catholic, so naturally he's an unmatched expert in #Christianity whose authority is beyond reproach. It makes perfect that this objectively unfunny slug would want to make a documentary about the well-known hoax, the Shroud of Turin, to celebrate his new expertise! What bravery! 🤣
8 years after his predecessor vetoed a bill enshrining the #Bible as the official state book, Gov. #BillLee signed into law a measure making a version of the Holy Book one of #Tennessee's 10 official tomes.
The purpose was clear: to send a message that Tennessee favors #Christianity over other forms of worship, or lack thereof.
This is happening because #Christians are afraid they are losing #culturalDominance and they want to either #evangelize to #nonChristian#students or drill it into their heads that they are second-class citizens in this country, thereby making it easier for those like #DeSantis to force their #religion on them in other ways.
The #Brevard#schoolBoard is choosing to follow badly worded laws, written vaguely on purpose, massive in scope, to follow a #ChristianNationalist agenda to #indoctrinate#students, while ignoring that these same laws would ban virtually every book from our classrooms and libraries.
There is something seriously wrong with #Christofascists, like #MikeHuckabee. It's a rot that's based deep in their #Christian genes. It's a lack of #humanity and decency that they justify with performative piety. And it also reflects a sadistic, corrupt worldview in which education is for suckers, and those who got saddled with unpayable loans deserve their suffering.
Taking essential #healthcare away from needy children on #Easter is incredibly fucked up. These #Republicans continue to claim exclusive ownership of #Christianity while behaving in a way that would have infuriated their #messiah. They're literally acting directly contrary to the foundational teachings of the man they claim to revere and follow.
"As a devout #Christian, George believes every human life has value. As such, George cannot provide or facilitate the use of any potential #abortion-causing drugs."
Someone needs to explain to George and his lawyer that the "#PlanB" #emergencyContraceptive DOES NOT CAUSE ABORTIONS! It PREVENTS a #pregnancy from occurring. They keep telling this lie, even in the face of their losing court rulings.
This #fascistic pig is pledging to rip up the #Constitution, and impose some sort of religious test for #immigrants. This is such a brazen violation of the plain text of the Constitution that I don't think it's more than absurd pandering to his #Christofascist base, but the threat should compel everyone to stand in defense of the nation, and #VoteBlue like our future depends on it.
What in the wide world of #Christofascist fuckery is this??? #FoxNews is having their hosts recite #Christian prayers as part of their programming. They're supposedly sponsored #prayers, paid for by some Christian app. This is just too much. I may have to pack my shit and head up into the mountains to live out my days cut off from the world, and blissfully ignorant of whatever the Christ-folk are doing.
#ChristianNationalism is inconsistent with personal #freedom, including the #FirstAmendment’s guarantee that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
A society where one set of religious views is imposed on a large number of citizens who disagree with them is not a #democracy. It’s a #theocracy.
Nobody gives a shit about what you claim God wants. You don't have any special knowledge or insight into the mysteries of life. Our lives do not depend on your beliefs; your beliefs are irrelevant to everyone but you. Please, for all our sakes, stop being so goddamned stupid, and unjustifiably arrogant and entitled. You're just mud people with a book you don't understand.
#ChristianNationalists in America believe that the country was founded as a #Christian nation and that Christian values should be prioritized throughout government and public life. As the country has become less religious and more diverse, Vought has embraced the idea that Christians are under assault and has spoken of policies he might pursue in response.
There’s no “good version” of #nationalism. #Hitler would not have been Hitler without nationalism, which itself creates the conditions necessary for #totalitarianism to thrive. Nationalism requires that people not only focus on the positive, but that they ignore or justify the negative (and in Hitler’s case, the horrific) in hopes of preserving their continued good time.
“The government has no right to censor #LGBTQ+ people and expression,” said an ACLU spokesperson.
“More important than the monetary recovery, this settlement sends a clear message that the city’s discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community was blatantly unconstitutional and that this type of behavior will no longer be tolerated here — or anywhere across the country.”
#TheEssentialChurch casts a group of sectarian #Christofascists as warriors in a timeless spiritual battle against government, secularism, and Satan. It’s an odd story at best, given that their victory is ultimately achieved by the same government institutions they claim are being used by the Antichrist. The narrative is riddled with contradictions and logical gaps.
Oregon Republican #EWernerReschke is a #ChristianNationalist who is openly advocating for turning the #UnitedStates into a #Christofascist theocracy. He doesn't believe #atheists, #Muslims, or adherents of any other religion should be allowed to participate in government. This guy is obviously a pair of mismatched clown shoes, but the #Christian desire for domination is no joke. We could lose our republic if we don't stay vigilant.
The fear here is not that this bill will pass—even in #Oklahoma—because this almost certainly violates all kinds of #FirstAmendment rulings. The concern is that people like Deevers are on a mission to legislate their personal #Christian morality… or at least the version of it they pretend to have in public.
Imagine being so full of hate and insecurity that you have to cancel all your meetings after seeing a TurboTax commercial featuring a same-sex couple. These #Christians are the most pathetic people on Earth.
#Christianity is about #lies and #cruelty. If you want more people to believe, you need to come up with a better #story. Because the story you're pushing is full of holes and #absurdities. And the people who most fervently spread that story are the most intellectually and morally #bankrupt people on the planet.
Your right to #religiousFreedom doesn't allow you to steamroll the rights of your #children, and endanger their well-being. Your rights as a #parent don't allow you to obliterate your child's #identity. Maybe try putting the best interests of your child over your thirst for #religious#fanaticism.
A bunch of self-righteous #Christians who view themselves as the pinnacle of morality are opening up their wallets to help fund overt #religious#bigotry.
