    but the ten commandments in and of themselves have no link to nazi-ism

    Yeah nahhh, like the Buddhist symbol was co-opted by the Germans, the commandments are used as a dog whistle by fascists now.

    If it was about being Christian they would have used the Beatitudes (words of Christ) not the commandments. If it was about being chest thumping American they’d put the cononsitiution there, speration of church and state etc.

    We know WHY they don’t use the Beatitudes, because theae fuckers are as close to being Christian as Hitler was to being Buddhist.

    Gandhi’s famous quote summarizes whats so wrong with Christians doing stupid shit like pinning 10 Commandments to the wall, they have little resemblance to Christ

    I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ - Mohandas Gandhi

      Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

      Huh. Does this work… both ways?
