They are finally realizing they aren’t (never have been) christians in practice and that the christian bible is no longer vicious enough to support their behavior. I wonder if they have even enough self-awareness to be cognizant of that fact as they set out to assemble new doctrine and new deities that conform to their belief system.
I’m all for getting rid of religion entirely, but I think I’d be perfectly happy if christians just behaved more christ-like.
Yeah, but there is, like, an easy solution. All these ‘weak’, ‘socialist’ ideas are in the New Testament, just get rid of it and keep the Old Testament as the cornerstone of your religion… Oh wait…
Hey, that’s literally what happened with the Nazis. They started off as “supporters” of the Christian faith before suddenly revealing that they wanted a vastly more violent religion.
This is why we desperately need separation of church and state. We’ve supposedly had this concept for centuries, but I feel like we’ve been losing ground lately.
It sucks when some people say, “I’m a (insert religious view)” when what they actually mean is, “I’m in the in group, even though I don’t really know what that entails”.
It’s just like being the school bully’s friend not because he’s nice to you or he gets you but because if you’re not his friend then he’ll beat you up.
