How long until living an “anti-Christian” lifestyle is evidence of an anti-Christian bias?
Oh, that’s immediate. That’s what they always mean by “anti-xtian bias” - not privileging their bullshit rules that their little book club has (and that has zero relevance in a secular nation like the United States).
Telling them to go pound sand is incredibly hurtful to people that want to bring back witch trials.
the task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society
Yeah, Democrats did this already. They’re called Hate Crimes and it’s the law. Not a measley little EO.
You don’t understand yet. The words are a cover for their real intentions which are to go after the enemies of Christianity under the guise of investigating hate crimes.
Yes, nothing they say is what they really mean. Welcome to the last 40 or so years.
No no but hate crimes are DEI bad word and also only happen to brown people, who deserve it!!!1!1!
How many EOs does this dickhead have now in these two weeks alone?
How many does a normal president have in a full four year term?
The courts will strike this down as fast as the birthright citizenship thing. Flagrant violation of the Estate Clause
DEI but just for Christians
be explicit: white Christians
White christian males with money.
And like donvict and fElon, they won’t really be expected to go to church or anything. Unless for a photo op session.
Every time I read something he said it hurts my brain. Everything about his speech patterns is so fucking stupid.

No freedom of religion without freedom FROM religion.
Resist a theocratic state.
You can order metal statues of Baphomet on Etsy. Mine helps me feel a little better when I read shitty stuff like this. He watches over me from the top of my bookshelf.
“The First Amendment clearly says “Congress shall make no law” and this is an executive order. Seems constitutional to us”
Supreme Court (probably)
“I mean, there is no mention of the character of Jesus or their precious favorite book in the Constitution, and it’s only the very First Amendment and all…and founders like Jefferson were QUITE CLEAR about their skepticism of xtianity’s claims, but if you are True Originalists like we are, you’d understand how this is supposed to be a xtian nation!”
Also SCOTUS
Jesus fuck I hate how plausible this is.
I mean he can sign it, it’s going literally nowhere. But if this ain’t proof that there’s a genuine desire to install a theocracy in the US, then I don’t know what will convince anyone.
The fact that a President even suggests this is a clear tell that some want the US being Iran but with Jesus.
I mean he can sign it, it’s going literally nowhere.
This is incorrect. He can sign it, and Bondi will start bringing these cases to court. One would think that it would immediately stop there as the first judge she argues in front of dismisses the case for being blatantly unconstitutional and having her brought up on sanctions for multiple blatant violations of the defendant’s constitutional rights.
But in this court system? I wouldn’t be so sure. At the very least, I expect at least some people to get caught up in this dragnet and have their lives upended for years until the Supreme Court finally stops dragging their feet. But given this administration, this Supreme Court, and the number of MAGA judges that Trump can forum shop through, there is a non-zero chance this actually succeeds.
It wouldn’t be the first time this administration and SCOTUS hand-waves away constitutional protections.
Keep in mind that they also broke into the Treasury system and own the paychecks of every federal employee. If that’s not leverage, I don’t know what is
Yeah, a depressing amount of Americans believe this country was founded as a xtian one. 60%
Six in 10 U.S. adults said the founders intended America to be a Christian nation, according to a 2022 Pew Research Center survey. About 45% said the U.S. should be a Christian nation. Four in five white evangelical Protestants agreed with each assertion.
Which is just flat wrong, of course, and doesn’t really need any debate: it just was not founded as a xtian nation, and that was quite intentional. But that’s the level of stupidity we are dealing with.
And something like 45% of the country WANT this country to be a xtian nation, which is also depressing.
Half the founding fathers were closet atheists using ‘Deism’ as a fig leaf.
Good thing I’m not biased against Christians specifically. Fuck all religions equally - fair and balanced.
There’s a group of people that go around in white sheets with pointy hats and they burn crosses, often on other peoples property. That seems pretty anti-christian to me and should be the first to be investigated.
Everything about the GOP as very anti-christian. Jesus was a bleeding heart socialist by today’s standards. I’m not sure what books these fools have been reading that says otherwise.
they don’t read. their megachurch pastors tell them what the bible says about who to hate. they draw all their rhetoric from Leviticus and Numbers to justify their gross misinterpretation of Revelations. they ignore the gospels entirely. here are the things you need to know when dealing with christofascist propaganda
- the old testament comes from the living documents of the jewish faith maintaining the history of their ancestors and people. the jewish faith is largely an ongoing conversation about what it means to inherit this story and how to resist oppression by enacting boycotts, strikes, and maintaining the cultural heritage of foods. no one thinks everything in it is right and good except for some folks who worship orthodox hegemony beyond all else
- the teachings of jesus are primarily about how orthodox hegemony is bad and that the true value of ethics and morality is to help others and strengthen communities where you are
- the book of revelations is early christians’ attempt to document the events of a genocide enacted by an authoritarian who co-opted the trappings of religion. it’s a warning against the types of coagulation of power being enacted by donald trump literally right now. they are the followers of the antichrist they accuse woke folk of being. woke folk are who get raptured into the eternal song of historical memory by remaining true to the teachings that kindness and grace is more important than orthodoxy. the book is all florid and weird because the roman censors didn’t recognize it for what it was, so it was able to survive.
To be fair, there is a lot of really bad, problematic shit (much of it political in nature) in the Old Testament…
Which is what I’m getting at that only the weirdest dorks really practice everything in there. In the new testament Jesus even says that in following his teachings you make a new covenant with god that dissolves the old covenant established in the old testament. Any christian drawing anything in their actions from the old testament that aren’t based around kindness and caring towards others is a complete jackass who doesn’t even know what Jesus taught.
The “new covenant” shit is just copium. Jesus also said that:
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Matthew 5:17-18
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A17-18&version=NIV
Seems pretty clear to me.
Let’s remember that the Old Testament not only condones slavery, it lays out the “correct” way to beat the shit out of the people you own as property.
Also, no shellfish, no clothing with more than one fabric, can’t cut the hair on your temples… I seem to recall there being some strange rules about it being your duty to fuck your brother’s wife if your brother dies? That’s an interesting one.
Jesus explicitly said that these laws will never change.
Jesus explicitly said that these laws will never change.
Well put. The other thing that’s very weird is how the xtians will say that Jesus both gave them a “new covenant”, and therefore things like dietary laws don’t apply to them. So they can eat shrimp, but No Homo, because of what the OT says.
It seems highly selective, does it not? They’ll claim the OT is what gives the character of Jesus his legitimacy because of prophecy being fulfilled or somesuch, and therefore the OT is the word of god. The character of Jesus says the “not one jot or tittle” stuff, and yet, the xtians will declare “new covenant” and nope out on things that seem awfully convenient like eating shrimp, keeping the (actual) Sabbath, and circumcision.
Even weirder - the way they enshrine things from Paul - a guy who never even met the character of Jesus, and that’s according to their own fanfic! People that consider what Paul says of any import should be in a religion called Paulianity, yes?
None of the new testament writers ever met Jesus.
I am entirely serious when I say this:
The latest meme/talking point working its way through all the newer, e-celeb type american christian pastors, the ones that are extreme but not quite as bonkers as the qanon, I-am-a-prophet types…
The latest sermon topic is ‘the sin of empathy’.
Wowwwwww
Do they mean the woman he bribed to close an investigation of his scam university? That Pam Bondi?
Awesome. They’ll prosecute liars, thieves and false idols. Finally some good news. Right?
This from the guy who wouldn’t even put his hand on the bible when being sworn in? I think the prosecutors have somewhere to start.
Didn’t he also hold one upside-down for that impromptu photo op way back in his first term? Further evidence of sacrilege!
What happened to freedom of religion?
The xtianists think freedom of religion means choosing from one of hundreds of various xtian sects. They think freedom FROM religion does not exist in Jesusland.
They’ll do to freedom FROM religion (which the first amendment requires) what they did to the right of privacy in Roe…
Christian Nationalists wanted their Nazi uprising, they got it.
