      They don’t believe the religious horseshit they say, it’s only being used to manipulate the stupid and gullible.

        What is scarier is that some do believe. They believe that because they are “saved” that anything they do is righteous and anyone who does not share their faith is evil.

          Mike Johnson definitely believes in Christian Dominionism:

          While many Christians have applied this verse in the context of stewardship, Rushdoony taught that this creation mandate is really a dominion mandate, commanding humans to bring every sphere of society—as well as nature itself—into subjugation under Christ. In his view, Christ’s sacrificial death nullified the Fall and subsequent curse of Genesis 3 and enabled Christians to perfectly follow God’s law. Reconstructionism is a guidebook for Christians to reconstruct society according to Rushdoony’s understanding of Mosaic law. (Notably, his understanding differs dramatically from historical Jewish interpretations and includes stoning LGBTQ individuals.)

          What would the perfectly reconstructed society look like? Rushdoony taught that it would provide man—specifically the male gender—with the greatest possible freedom, due to the absence of a government that currently limits that freedom. A federal government would no longer be responsible for laws that govern public safety, social programs (including public schools and welfare), or just about anything else.

          It’s basically an actual conspiracy.

      One of the core tenant of Christianity is that God does and is everything you said (omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and some more). God and only God, false idols are forbidden and God wiped humankind off the face of the earth the first time and let its people wander in the desert for 40 years the second time. The stance of Christianity is pretty clear on that aspect. Anyone that believes otherwise is a moron that most definitely never read the Bible, which is the majority of these fascist fucks.

    I’m more and more convinced that this will be when it happens. I believe that America will become a fascist state within my lifetime. What’s scary is that it looks more and more likely to happen with this election.

    Biden can’t pull his head out of Israel’s ass. He’s going to torpedo us over those genocidal fucks. It was already looking shaky and he’s just pressing down on the gas pedal.
