    MAGAt “Christians” hate this passage:

    Matthew 25 41-46

    41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
    42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
    43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
    44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
    45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
    46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

    Nothing like warshiping a god who will forgive you for anything to make you ok with being a POS, this is the exact reason I don’t follow Christianity. Cuz it encourages this behavior.

    They’re praying to Moloch, a biblical deity associated with child sacrifice.

    Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’m joking.

          Not all of them. Some of them (us, I’m Christian myself) do, others listen to Jesus who said:

          and when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. (Matthew 6:5)

          I pray in public all the time. Nobody ever saw me do it, outside of services in churches or in the privacy of Christians’ homes. These guys don’t pray, they show off.

            You have a point, but how do you know they are showing off?

            It’s possible the media just happened to capture them in the act.

              Their entire political platform is ostentatious christ-baiting and lip-service. Everything they do is for show. These are not true believers in christ, they are charlatans.

              They’re professional politicians, they know these things, don’t be candid. But even if it wasn’t the case, it would still be showing off, but for their colleagues. A way to posture righteousness just before doing evil things. They make people hate Christ while it’s Mammon they serve.

              Ask non-Christian people what is the Church about. They’ll answer that Christianity means hate of homosexuals, submission of women, fight against reproductive rights, rejection of science and rational thought, and I could go on… None of this is biblical. Abortion is not evoked even once. Women are regularly put in position of power compared to their “normal” position in the societies of these times from Deborah who was describe as an head of state to the powerful women of the Acts). Wisdom — the equivalent of “rational thought” then — is highly praised. Homosexuality (when defined as respectful love between consenting adults) is alluded only once, and it’s a positive allusion.

              But these guys, they’ll cherrypick, deform, read uncontextually to make the Bible a book of hate. They’ll invent a doctrine of biblical inerrancy to make every verse count as much as all others, while the Bible warn against that, and drown the actual central message in details. They’re hypocrites who fight everything Christ said: love, love unconditionally, help the poor, fight peacefully oppression. They are highly regarded by society as they do that, but received their reward in full already.

              And meanwhile Christ is more and more rejected because of people like them. That’s why I said that they must put Christ’s name on their lips, but it’s Mammon they’re praying.

                Abortion is not evoked even once.

                Actually, I remember the instructions for inducing a miscarriage (abortion) were laid out in the old testament. Part of it involved scraping up and ingesting shit from the temple floor.

                  Yeah this text (Numbers 5) is often cited but it’s not clear at all. Nowhere in the text the woman is described as pregnant, it’s in fact more probably about infertility than miscarriage.

      The Satanic Temple is absolutely one of our better civil and medical rights advocate groups.

    All I can imagine witnessing their false faith is a rope around their necks and a spear through their hearts. I do wonder how much fury men like Charlemagne, Constantine, and Saint Louis IX of France would have if witnessed to their profligate successors.

    Frankly it’s not even the evil that pisses me off the most it’s the sheer fucken hypocrisy of it all, they thump their Bible and act as if Christ would like them as they commit actions and deeds far worse than what any of what the characters of the Bible faced if not by brutality then certainly by sheer fucken scale. By the Allfather I fucken hate these cretins so much.

    I would have thought they would have been more celebratory. They are doing one of the things they love best, stealing from children, when they are not busy raping them.

    Why can’t politicians(or anyone, and such organizations) who claim to be anti-fascist or progressive stop posting on the Nazi platform owned by one of the most apalling figures of wealth in history?

    There are other ways to post a picture.
