Oh, so it's a death cult now? Cool, cool cool...

Edit: /s

Where have you been? It's always been a death cult.

A lot of republicans want ww3 so that the bible can be fulfilled, and they can go to heaven. I'm not even joking.

Which is mindblowing, because you'd think committing acts that would lead to the apocalypse would invalidate you from going to heaven.

Keeping in their line of thinking, you're actively destroying the earth and killing the people God created so you can selfishly get yourself into heaven.

Olympic Gold-level mental gymnastics there...

I went to evangelical boyscouts (Awanas) when I was a kid. They particularly love the verses Ephesians 2:8-9(KJV): "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast."

Basically, taken to mean "You're going to heaven if you believe in the American Jesus (see: him on the interstate). It doesn't matter if you are a genocidal maniac who breaks every single one of the Ten Commandments and strives to make the lives of food service and retail workers miserable because you're still better than the most virtuous and philanthropic atheist (or Muslim/Jew/Hindu) because they are going to Hell. Oh, and free will basically means nothing because it's all predestined."

Oh man, you just brought Royal Rangers and Missionettes to the forefront of my memory. Religion is crazy, isn't it?

The greatest miracle Jesus ever created was living in the Middle East and looking like a white man.

Easy guy, I know. Calling the GOP a death cult is like saying water is wet. Should have added a /s

But Armageddon already happened on - checks notes - the Plains of Megiddo.

The Bible has very old roots, and its forward-looking statements are kinda suspect.

Not sure who you’re arguing with right now, but seems these republicans you speak of are more deserving of your shade.

Been a death cult. Any pro-life stance they have is to create more soldiers for the forever war.

They don't believe anyone should have a decent life, because then they wouldn't be driven to die to get to heaven.

They don't want to provide education beyond what's needed to believe your pastor regarding his interpretation of the Bible. If you want education, they want to force you into the army for, you guessed it, forever war.

They worship a god who begat himself just to sacrifice himself to himself, to "save" us from the sin that he orchestrated. And every one of their policies mirrors this "logic."

There are Christians who believe that Jesus is the embodiment of God's love, grace, forgiveness, charity, etc. But they're not the ones in control of the churches, or any of the "seven mountains."

What a pointless edit.

Well some people are stupid and write mean things on the internet so....ya know

WHAT DO YOU KNOW!? YOU'RE JUST A DRUNK RACCOON! GET YOUR BIAS OUT OF HERE RACCOON!
