MAGA Christians rejecting Christianity as "weak."
It was the result of having multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching — "turn the other cheek" — [and] to have someone come up after to say, "Where did you get those liberal talking points?" And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, "I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ," the response would not be, "I apologize." The response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak." And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.

At non-denominational churches that had Christian rock music and no hymnals and free coffee bars named “holy grounds” and preachers that wore black jeans and black t-shirts and had tats. They weren’t REAL Christians.

They are rejecting Christ for Trump. The Book of Revelations says this ends with him being cast into a fiery lake, Trump, not Jesus.

you know, slow down their metabolisms which makes them docile. Then you can claim that you are possessed by the Holy Spirit and ask for money.

My problem is with the climate alarmist religion that forces ESG through actual law. To me, both are the same group of fear mongering grifters.
The only difference is that you, and all your idiot friends have given the latter the power to mandate “tithing” by law vs. it being done through people’s free will.
You are the same, as everyone that you despise.

The existence of phony Christians is nothing new. They are everywhere.
The religious litmus test has weakened to after-thought importance.
I don’t fault Democrats for endeavoring to highlight examples of crassness among Trump supporters to, by inference, making a Democrat voters seem to be superior people.
Good luck with that.
