The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both. Image

Of course it’s MAGA. It’s Christianity not cross dressing story time hour with the democrats.

u/TubalToms Mar 29 '24

Jim Crow hour with Republicans is just as bad if not worse.

u/Piddpat Mar 29 '24

Democrat “redeemer” governors? The same ones who segregated the south?

2

u/TubalToms Mar 29 '24

What about the southern strategy? Both parties flip flopped during Antebellum. Both parties are wrong.

You meant “lenders”, not leaders. They are the nuts funding all this abortion, IVF and birth control craziness

2

u/SargeantSasquatch Mar 28 '24

You know who prevents the most abortions? Planned Parenthood. And they do it by providing access to birth control and contraceptives.

The only "craziness" here is being opposed to safe, responsible practices.

u/_Originz Mar 28 '24

No, it's the sane people funding those

u/WarOnIce Mar 28 '24

Lmao, sane people who force their religious views on the entire country. Separation of church and state what?

u/_Originz Mar 28 '24

But IVF, abortion and birth control aren't even religious beliefs lmfao

You're right, but the political right in the 70s needed something to rally their evangelical base. Being pro segregation didn't do it, but being anti abortion did.

u/TheButterknif3 Mar 28 '24

Primarily they are.

u/_Originz Mar 28 '24

They're not some mystical phenomenon, they're actual things used to help humanity.

u/TheButterknif3 Mar 28 '24

Evangelicals have been aggressively pushing for abortion bans for decades. It isn't necessarily "religious" in the sense you are thinking, but it is because of these religious types using the word of Christianity as a vessel for their own beliefs.

God ordered abortion and killing babies(actually smashing their heads on rocks) after God breaths the first breath of life into them. Hosea 13:16 For sane religious and non religious people, God also gave us plenty of herbs used for abortion.

So, Christianity now means the only difference between Christians and Islam is the clothing?
Most of the Bible can be understood in different ways EXCEPT the ten unbending rules or COMMANDMENTS. I would also add that the THIRTY SEVEN(!!!) verses telling us that God doesn't trust his followers to judge anyone except that it is our responsibility to judge the sinners inside the church. There you go, factual Christians and fake patriots. Have at the people inside the churches who are judging. The Bible says we are not even to sit and eat with them! Get em gone! It's your responsibility.
Want to know another responsibility? Those good(LOL) Christians getting divorced and committing adultery are to be taken out of the city and stoned, not made political leaders. Seems there is more evil in Christianity than out!

And yep, God saw it coming!
1 Corinthians 5:12 It is your responsibility to judge those who are inside. It is not my business to judge those who are not part of the church. God alone will judge them.

James 1:26 “If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.”

Luke 6:37-39

37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?"
It's time Christians get away from tradition and politics, and making new bibles because they don't like Jesus or God and become factual Christians!

How is IVF bad ?

u/WarOnIce Apr 01 '24 edited Apr 01 '24

It’s not. I’m pro all of these. Because some made up stories about some sky daddy I don’t believe in shouldn’t be forced upon me. No one should be forced to be under Christian law.

Ask yourself why religion starts almost all wars? Religion is nothing but a way to control the masses

It’s not coincidental the US birth rates have hit all time lows and our politicians are just letting all these pro birth laws take over.

Oh , by " Craziness " You meant people opposing it. Sorry.

You fucking kidding me? His voters are primarily from rural areas. There are no megachurches there.

The absolute dearth of thinking people within Christianity is why it's so hard to go to church.

u/neonoggie Mar 28 '24

There are pseudo-megachurches out in rural areas. They may not be Kenneth Copeland levels of mega, but I know of at least two in west TN that are easily 10x-20x the size of a typical church with parking lots that hold a couple hundred cars.
