There is nothing less Christ-like than today’s Christians.

It was more an attempt to emphasize my agreement to the comment, that to express any lack of awards.
That said, I honestly feel that your attitude towards this, is more suited to reddit than lemmy
‘Conservative’ Christians aren’t Christian in any meaningful sense of the word.
Conservatives aren’t Christian, so…. What’s the point of this?
Christians, particularly evangelicals, are core to the Republican party’s bigoted base.
People who claim to be Christian maybe. But if you read the Bible- you’d see that NONE of them walk the walk. So therefore, no.
Not Christians even in the slightest.
I get what you mean, but IMO we are at the point where the “good christians” should be thinking of a different name for themselves and attempting to distance themselves from the rest of Christianity.
When the great majority of self identified christians are hateful, bigoted, and cruel, then Christianity as a whole is hateful, bigoted, and cruel. People outside of the religion do NOT see a distinction between those that actively advocate for hate and those that are just still showing up for church on sunday.
Good thing I don’t think that book matters, that was a close one, you almost got me.
Now excuse me while I go lay with a man
IMO, he is definitely the Christians’ mascot. not only due to how much they support him, but also because he reflects the bigotry and ignorance they so deeply cherish.
As a frustrated Christian, I think I’d say it’s most accurate to say that Trump embodies Conservatives, Republicans, and Evangelicals, all of whom have apparently no clear code of conduct or definition beyond “seize power, worship the perceived strong man, crush the marginalized.”
Christian, though…there’s a least a definition there (“follower of Christ”) that excludes Trump — not only does Trump not care at all about Christ except as an incantation to get votes, but he directly contradicts the things Christ taught.
right? the swedish curch gets it right: god has infinite compassion and jesus preached of acceptance, thus the logical conclusion is that a good christian is compassionate and accepting, which is the polar opposite of trump and a depressing amount of people who claim to be christian…
They see him as a means to an end.
Like literally THE end. They want the end of the world so they can be picked up in Jesus’s AMC Pacer.
If you don’t think he drives a Pacer, you don’t know ya scripture.
eh, a diesel Ram 3500 is more likely
Dude is a socialist. Sure they are trying to bring Him back, but they won’t be deserving of a ride when he rolls up looking for true believers and sees tax cheats, child molesters, false prophets, adulterers, greed, vanity, and idol worshipers that the Evangelists and Catholics have become.
