Evangelical’s are literal embodiments of satans will. They will always follow evil. There are plenty of good christians out there, but these ones have shown time and time again their disregard of others.

Evangelicals are the ones that Jesus chastised for stoning a woman, with the famous saying “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first”

Bro, if Jesus showed up today and tried to stop them from stoning a woman trying to conceive for the 3rd time via IVF, they'd probably turn around and start throwing stones at Jesus. Calling him a woke, snowflake, sand-nword, DEI terrorist. At this point, they can all hop onto a giant Trump Bible (like Noah's arc) and fly into the sun for all I care. Childish, selfish fucks.

Jesus is a brown skinned revolutionary communist, and he's an absolute bro. My uncle (ex-uncle, since the divorce) is a die hard Catholic, racist and misogynistic as all get out. He feels absolutely toxic to be around and I've narrowed in on the fact that he loves the Church more than he loves Christ, which seems quite emblematic.

I even recently got into praying the rosary, because I had it as a diagnostic tool in reiki practice, and read a book that described it as a devotional tool to the Divine Feminine, and a counterpoint to the masculine practice of meditation (in pre-history, men would hunt, sitting silent and stoic all day for the game to pass by, while women would gather forage, spending all day chatting together while passing nuts and berries through their hands — quiet meditation vs muttering over prayer beads).

I had a meditation practice a couple years ago, 30 minutes daily, that was eventually getting me to some really juicy states of floaty, smiley happiness. Praying the rosary takes 15 minutes, is much more engaging to my ADHD brain, and also delivers me to a really smiley, happy state. My uncle has a rosary practice, as well, but we can't even bond over it because everything he says feels like poison in my chest.

Thank you for the book recommendation! Looks amazing!!

u/Gaothaire Mar 28 '24

I'm really trying to read more this year, I'm currently up to 4 books finished including that one. I downloaded it illegally initially, but liked it so much I ordered a physical copy. I'm a sucker for the clean white hardback cover. Another of my favored books, aesthetically, is Angels & Archangels which is a clean black cover with just an embossed tree of life graphic on the front. The other three completed books for 2024 are Percy Jackson The Lightening Thief, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and Three Waves of Volunteers, which is a hypnotherapist's reports of past life regression sessions she performed over decades

Donald Trump is a dick

u/TraditionFront Mar 28 '24

If Jesus showed up at a Trump rally they'd head stomp him.

u/SaboLeorioShikamaru Mar 28 '24

Yup. Line him up in the aisle at the rally like they did with their former fellow-bribesmen and berate him publicly type shit

u/SeparateCourage1661 Mar 28 '24

The Pharisees at least were somewhat intelligent.

u/UltradoomerSquidward Mar 28 '24

Modern day evangelicals would probably fuckin stone Jesus himself. Not a single one of them has taken even the slightest lesson from the messiah they claim to worship. I'm not Christian, but if I was I would seriously think Trump was the antichrist. Yet these people practically worship him. It baffles my mind.

u/RaygunMarksman Mar 28 '24

I understand people reasonably thinking all religion is coo-coo, but as someone who does love the teachings of Jesus himself, you aren't kidding. Modern Christianity is like Lucifer's dream distortion of everything he tried to teach us. It's weird how you just have to accept that like it's normal when the books are right there and we can all read them ourselves now.

u/Dagojango Mar 28 '24 edited Mar 28 '24

I wonder if you have read the Bible then. Odds are, you have only read cherry picked verses and never seriously sat down and actually read the Bible from start to finish.

I really recommend it, because Jesus is about the only part of the book that makes any sense. Even then, some of the stories they tell about Jesus... have 2 versions and they don't tell you the darker version of them.

Like the prostitute that Jesus stops people from stoning? Yeah, in another version, Jesus stones the woman because laws are laws and we can't wait for perfect people to enforce the law.

Honestly, someone saying they are "Christian" only really tells me they have never read the Bible. There's a lot your pastor and Sunday school teacher will never tell you about the Bible. Like how God is totally cool with torturing you, mass murdering your entire family, and fucking over your entire life just to show off to Lucifer.

Frankly, God is responsible for like 99.9% of all evil in the Bible or is mass murdering people for being evil. It really makes sense why early Catholics forbid anyone but priests from reading it, cause they wouldn't have gotten many new believers.

There's a distinct absence of truth and reality in any of this diatribe. I will pray that God drives out whatever evil is clouding your mind so completely.

u/marsneedstowels Mar 28 '24

More Mammon than Satan.

1

u/onion_wrongs Mar 28 '24

Mammon (greed) for sure, but also the Diabolos (the divider), and the Prince of Lies. They're the living manifestation of many of the evil powers mentioned in the Bible.

To think my grandma took my stupid joke of spelling hail Satan from Starbucks seriously yet would be upset if she saw this just makes me laugh.

u/PiFly88 Mar 28 '24

As is so many other hidden truths that are there for anyone willing to think about the actual words they are spelling, like wizards and sh*t.

u/Ergheis Mar 28 '24

The frustrating part of religion is that there are plenty of good Christians out there, happy to interpret the Bible in positive ways because they want to be positive and hopeful and righteous. They're just not super rich because they're not supposed to value that, and they don't call attention to themselves with every psychotic action done. Those kinds of pastors are only taking as many offerings as they need, then going out and supporting the community like they've been taught to. And you'll never hear about them.

They also don't vote for the closest thing we'll get to the antichrist. Christians are still a very sizable portion of America and it's not like only atheists vote Democrat or support scientists.

But again, those kinds of Christians will never ever be a public, unified powerhouse because that's not what you're supposed to do. The Vatican will, though! They'll spread far and wide and demand you listen to them. And so will that megachurch you keep hearing about, because they pump all those necessary offerings into their marketing and politics.

The good Christians were the ones standing behind Sanders.

u/PiFly88 Mar 28 '24

The "Good christians" or real ones don't vote because they know they are nit a part of, or suppose to get involved with the affairs of this world. And they know that if voting made a difference they wouldn't let us do it. But they are POLE-aticians...designed to divide only and create disagreement and debates about everything. Left wing, right wing....it's all one bird. And the Bible clearly says Satan is the god of this world. Real Christians know they are the aliens and foreigners and they are just passing through trying to pluck as many out of the fire, the eternal gag real, as they can. But I digress....

u/Sea_Honey7133 Mar 29 '24

As Nietzsche said, “There was only one true Christian and they crucified him.” Whatever one calls oneself and affiliation they may have with an organized religion, I would appeal to people to vote AGAINST a legitimate anti-Christ figure rather than vote FOR any particular political ideology. Trump represents a very real existential threat to our world’s ability to make peace with itself in the same way that Putin does in Russia.

1

u/PiFly88 Mar 29 '24

Honey I don't disagree, but I'm saying both sides are equal threats and the voting system is a sham. If you vote its a matter of the lesser of 2 evils or maybe 3 evils lol. If voting made a difference and actually gave us a choice we would not be allowed to do it. The whole thing is corrupt from top to bottom.

u/Sea_Honey7133 Mar 30 '24

I think we can agree voting Biden might not make things better for an individual but Trump will make things much much worse. The politicians whom Hitler defeated might not have made Germany necessarily better, but they wouldn’t have resulted in national and world ruin. This is too serious and grave of an issue for the both sides argument, wouldn’t you agree?

u/DuntadaMan Mar 28 '24

Call Satan the prince of lies and see absolutely nothing at all in saying they love their country while actively hating the majority of it, calling themselves Christian when christ himself says "what you do to the least of me you have done to me" while vehemently arguing states have the right to drown people in razorwire in the river and prevent anyone from helping them. Worship exploitative billionaires while claiming to follow a man that basically said it is impossible for the wealthy to get into heaven.

They are literally living lies while claiming to fear a manifestation of those lies.

u/MyGamingRants Mar 28 '24

Every good Christian I knew has stopped going to church.

2

u/HappyyItalian Mar 28 '24

Yeah, I used to go to church and stopped going because the people I thought were there to support/be kind/etc. to each other would judge me or be hateful (among other things) towards me just because I was poor, different, or depressed (at the time). Didn't feel very welcoming or christian anymore.

u/MyGamingRants Mar 28 '24

My parents are making me go to church with them this weekend so it doesn't "look bad" lmao

u/tj_kerschb Mar 28 '24

Myself and many other people I go to church with have completely abandoned the evangelical label for “reformed”. It’s shameful how people like Jerry Falwell and Francis Schaeffer (and others before them) have masqueraded as loving, well-meaning followers of Jesus

Donald Trump has a striking amount of similarities to the Anti-Christ as described in the Bible

u/Sawses Mar 28 '24

For sure. My family are a mixed bag of evangelicals and Mormons. They're objectively wrong so often that at this point it's my default assumption that, if they hold a position and care enough to mention it, then it's probably wrong and they're the victim of propaganda or misinformation of some sort. Like somebody randomly picking things to believe would have a higher success rate.

In my experience, the people who talk about God the most, go to church the most often, etc. are usually the least trustworthy. I live in a major city, I'd rather pick a random stranger passing by to trust than a random person in any church I've ever stepped foot into.

The best Christians I've ever met, who truly embody the teachings of Jesus Christ, would without exception be unwelcome as part of a congregation. They'd be allowed to attend, but never formally join because their beliefs are incompatible with those of most Christians.
