America suffers a plague of religious con-artists and charlatans who fleece the simple, trusting rustic peasants. Read [i]Elmer Gantry[/i] by Sinclair Lewis.
@badminton Yes, but in today's day and age of information, no one needs to be ignorant unless willingly. How can anyone be led to believe that a tank is appropriate at a religious ceremony? aren't Christians taught to believe that Jesus was all about love for their fellow Man? How does a machine of killing and war fit into that ideology?
@spjennifer Right-wing Jebus is a very different character from Sermon on the Mount Jesus. Jesus said,"blessed are the merciful, blessed are the peacemakers, judge not less you be judged."
Right-wing [i]Jebus[/i] on the other hand, says, "Thou shall worship guns, especially the AR-15." "If you are hungry, poor or sick, tough on you!" "I know what's right. If you have a different opinion you are evil and deserve to die." "Kill the gays and trans people."
@badminton It appears like things have changed and not in a good way. I've never hated the various religions even if I disagreed with them but this new brand of ChristoFascism is pretty scary, are we going towards Gilead now?
Because nothing screams love more than a machine intended to kill. I looked in to that place. They're heavy on the brainwashing of young people. So fucked up.
@Ynotisay Yeah, like whatever happened to "Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the World"?, now it's fuck 'em all, I gots me a tank! 😖
@Max41 And that's the problem now in America, "Freedom of religion" doesn't mean freedom [i]from[/i] religion and some of these sects seem to have gotten people elected too and these people want America to become a non-secular Nation... ruled by them, of course 😖
@ninalanyon Yeah but here it's some serious shit, wonder what they plan to use the tank for though, maybe for when the "Rapture" happens to make sure none of us queers gets swept up too? 🤪
