Jesus teaches shit that is antithetical to everything Republicans believe. If they don't keep painting liberals as godless heathens we might notice that there's nothing Christian about anything they do or say.
If there's a war against Christianity, they are the invading force.
I couldn't agree more. Most so called evangelicals I have known are also the most worldly and ignorant of scripture. They cherry pick things that confirm their existing bias, quote out of context and use only one part of a passage which ignores or contradicts the true intended message.
For instance im a Christian who doesn’t believe in casual sex but I also have an emotional revulsion to it (you could end up making someone pregnant and then screwing up lives) which I feel is my own personal choice, I don’t force it on anyone else, and I don’t feel anything but ambivalent about it. Most the people pushing me to sleep with people have all been religious people for some reason. Just weird.
It’s not even that. That one has people intentionally breeding their wives to ridiculous amounts.
This guy is bringing up how the average Christian man still fucks around like crazy when they’re young (while still holding the women to that standard a lot of the time). Most Christians are just treating it like team sports while following little to none of the stated ideals of the religion.
American Evangelicals are post-Christian. Its the end result of Protestantism where the laity experience secularization, but there is no foundational church to help reckon with such a seismic shift in worldview. So everyone kind of just goes...schizo.
England has long had the Anglican Church, and Germany had federal State Churches...that is until 1919 when they were all dissolved. 30 years later, the Godless German people committed atrocities untold under the motto of "Gott Mitt Uns".
With regard to the US, the WASP aristocracy long controlled Protestant Church life of America until Reagan shattered the WASP aristocracy and replaced it with the White Scotch-Irish Evangelical aristocracy you see today. The power of America shifted from Anglican/Lutheran Protestantism of the Yankee North to Baptist/Calvinist Protestantism of the Dixie South.
They always have been ever since the Puritans were shunned from Europe. They rebranded a couple times but they're still a cancerous sect of Christianity who only care about growth and influence over everyone not just their followers.
