I can't answer your question, but wouldn't that make them Jewish?

@trollslayer Jews definitely do not recognize Jesus as the son of God…
@RosaMarie I think it makes them Bible cherry-pickers. They decide which Bible passages agree with their preconceptions and ignore those teachings that disagree with their opinions.

@ElwoodBlues Agreed. I think my post failed to convey my sarcasm. Sorry about that.

Perhapas because it leans much more heavily on authoritarian, patriarchal and mysogynist dogma, positing God as the Creator but also a tyrant dictating through the say-so of tribal priest-kings.

(About whom we know virtually nothing as people, too, because we have only their own versions, with no dates and no corroboration from elsewhere, of their own religion and politics.)

Jesus taught the opposite: serving a loving, kindly God by showing love and respect to each other rather than ruling by fear - and he liked women.

The Bible-thumpers who like their sort of Levite tyrany and like to call themselves "fundamentalist Christian", miss the irony of their position. The OT books were written over several centuries long before Jesus' birth, another three centuries before the Christian faith was established in its own name (rather than becoming simply a Jewish sect), and the dictatorial attitudes that attract the "fundamentalist" are not what Jesus taught.

It's not just MAGA. It's true of many so-called fundamentalist Christians, thousands of miles away from the US. Why, I don't know.

@MartinII The appeal of personal power over others?

They don't even do that..otherwise, they wouldn't have tattoos, eat bacon or venison, they would keep their hair trimmed and nice, they wouldn't be idolizing the president, among numerous other rules and regulations the Lord put down in the bible. They just cherry pick the parts they want to follow

Because they use any excuse to hate others for being even slightly different than them or having a different opinion.

that is just your opinion, try posting something you know about, which is nothing

@idontcareok Now that certainly wasn't a very Christian comment.
@idontcareok It is true, your feelings don't change the truth.

@idontcareok point proven!

A vengeful and violent god is more to their liking.
