    They aren’t truly Christians. They are more like Pharisees, masturbating their egos about how much better they are than everyone who’s different that they completely miss the point of what’s in the Bible. I consider myself somewhat religious. I read from the Bible on a regular basis. There is no justification for intolerance. These hypocrites who make my religion look like a fucking hate group piss me off more than anyone else possibly can.

      Those Ch(ristians) i(n) n(ame) o(nly)’s are the only reason i consider myself not a Christian.

      If god wants to punish me for eternity for not messing with his awful fan club of misery and disdain that throws out any good and only focuses on the evil, then it’s not a god that was worth worshiping in the first place.

      Christians will tell you that the Bible is gods word, and that is law when it can be used against you or to virtue signal (Like Chick-fil-A closed on Sundays) but they won’t actually follow the commands to leave the outside of their field unharvested for the foreigner, the widow, and the orphan, then when those folks die off from their malice they have the nerve to describe the consequences of their indifference as god’s will.

      Modern evangelicalism is the great whore of Babylon from the book of revelations.

      1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. 9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition. 12 And the ten horns which thou saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 15 And he said unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.

      Revelations 17:1-18

    I find that most “democrats” bury their heads in the sand and ignore the obvious corruption of both parties. The US federal government is captured by corporations.

    I would highly recommend considering candidates such as RFK Jr. or Cornel West over Biden and the rest of the corporate democrats.

      ROFL!

      RFK is a conservative, and every democrat knows it. Just because this dumb shit would work on you, doesn’t mean anyone else is going to fall for it.

        What about Cornel West?

        RFK is a conservative

        More than Biden? The same Biden that passed the crime bill. The one who quashed a labor strike by the rail workers as president? Seems progressive.

        What about Cornel West?

        In regards to RFK, remove the anti-vax piece from your comment and it would be true for pretty much every presidential candidate ever. Dismissing him without a substantive rebuttal isn’t doing anything besides getting a pat on the back from those that already agree.

        The WiFi thing was rough, no doubt. He was clearly talking about cell phones, not that it matters.

        What about Cornel West?
