Why is this elected official, paid by the American people, using his power to engage in #viewpointDiscrimination, and violate the #FirstAmendment rights of individuals and businesses that express ideas he doesn't personally agree with?
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.
#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.
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.
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.
#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.
#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.
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.
The #incestuous#Christian#purity#culture that Commander #MikeJohnson is apparently a joyful participant of is beyond #creepy. The whole idea that a woman's #virginity is a tangible object that belongs to her #father makes me throw up in my mouth. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people?
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.
"#WesternValues" is #rightwing code for #ChristianNationalism. Whenever you hear them complain about people not believing in western values, they mean their bastardized version of #Christianity isn't the center of attention. And that makes them sad.
