    If you want to be a decent human being, you have to ignore large swathes of the Bible, including things Jesus says in it. Unless you think slavery is acceptable, for example. Left leaning Christians ignore the bad stuff, and right leaning Christians ignore the good stuff.

    Also personal rights.

    Also responsible economics.

    Also patriotism.

    Also small government.

    Also state rights.

    Also going after pedophiles and murders.

    They really hate all the things they claim to love.

    Christian teachings might be the thing they hate the most though.

    Evangelical Christianity is nothing but a malleable garment that we use to dress up and cover whatever bigotries we want to preserve in our society.

    The teachings of Jesus didn’t survive Rome without losing much in the process (some might even say it lost its own soul, as faith became something you “believed” and not something that is only visible through ones actions), what made you think they would even be recognizable in the US? 🤷

    Honestly, all around the world people are selfish, immature and functionally illiterate. The majority of so called believers have never read any scripture at all, and I will never understand those people. The lights are definitely off in their mind shacks…
